Funding major step towards the expansion of its ecosystem 

Apron Network will use the funding capital to solidify its position as one of the Polkadot ecosystem’s top platforms. The blockchain platform has also assembled a team of enthusiasts and experts towards ensuring the long-term success of the network. 

The team behind Apron believes that the current infrastructure of the Polkadot ecosystem and cross-chain application is not entirely perfect. The decentralized network platform aims to build a decentralized platform that will suit the ecosystem’s most urgent needs. This will be expanded in the future to onboard new service providers into the Polkadot network. 

With the funding completed, Apron Network will focus on preparations for the upcoming Kusama slot auction and platform launch. There are also plans to deliver the web3 open grants milestones in the coming days. 

Apron has also continued technical improvements launching one of its POC version services for Heco testnet developers. The rest of the infrastructure service will be gradually launched within Q1 2021. 

Apron is also working within the roadmap, with the testnet expected to launch as scheduled in Q2 2021 (April). Once launched, all the essential utilities will be made available for developers to build interoperable applications within the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystem for free. 

Apron will continue to develop new products and release its Apron Beta Network in Q3. These developments will culminate in the launch of the Apron mainnet in Q4, encompassing the network’s full utilities to operate correctly. Following the launch of the mainnet, Apron will continue to provide technical support towards building seamless infrastructure services on other public chains and continuous improvement of its network. 

To create a holistic approach within its ecosystem, Apron will be exploring partnerships, community activity, and brand awareness. As part of this activity, Apron will host a series of campaigns and events to engage with members, facilitating interactions and participation among our users and interested participants.

Explora Books is delighted to announce that Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure by Curtis Lind will be displayed at The London Book Fair, taking place at the Olympia London in Hammersmith, London, UK, from March 10–12, 2026. This fantasy adventure story for young readers follows two African Gray parrots, Sophie and Pierre, who are led on a mysterious quest that begins with an unusual invitation.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Mar 2026 – The book, published in 2025 by Curtis Lind, begins in the vast rainforest of the Congo. Sophie and Pierre, who live in an enchanted tree called Babu, receive an invitation to a “Haunting Halloween Celebration” from the Roman goddess Pomona, Empress of the Festival of Samhain. With the invitation comes a faded, tattered treasure map. The discovery sets the stage for an odyssey into the mystical world of Samhain, where the living and the spirit world meet.

Readers join the two feathered siblings as they step onto a magical journey branch and land in a strange land—a world of talking scarecrows, ghostly parties, and whispered secrets. The story unfolds as a search for the Samhain treasure, which holds secrets to restoring the kingdom to its rightful ruler. Along the way, Sophie and Pierre encounter a bizarre collection of figures, including a badger named Archibald, who claims the map is part of his family’s ancient birthright.

Author Curtis Lind, a former teacher, has drawn on his extensive travels, including time in the Congo, for inspiration. This book is filled with imaginative world-building, where ancient Celtic traditions and a sense of enduring hope connect Sophie and Pierre to a destiny larger than themselves. It is a study of courage, tested loyalty, and the bond between siblings. The story’s heart lies in the characters’ personal growth as they realize that the true reward of their quest is not material wealth but wisdom and self-discovery.

This book is a captivating read, perfectly suited for young readers who enjoy stories rich with magic and mystery. It is a tale that shows how curiosity can lead to a deeper understanding of the world and oneself.

Explora Books invites all attendees to discover Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure at The London Book Fair.

Press Release

Explora Books to Showcase Rate by Donna Gene Stankey and Ramona Hammel at the London Book Fair 2026

Published

on

Explora Books will be showcasing Rate by Donna Gene Stankey at the London Book Fair, taking place March 10–12, 2026, at Olympia London in Hammersmith. This debut novel offers a close, reflective look at life on a Michigan farm at the turn of the 20th century, capturing the rhythms, challenges, and quiet triumphs of a family deeply tied to the land.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Mar 2026 – Rate traces the early life of the Setterington family through the eyes of Millie, a father whose hopes, memories, and daily labors shape the foundation of the story. The narrative is less about dramatic plot twists and more about the texture of ordinary life—the anticipation, care, and enduring connections that define a family on a farm. Readers are invited to linger in moments both tender and contemplative, experiencing the subtle shifts of life and legacy.

Critics have noted the book’s remarkable clarity and descriptive strength. Hollywood Book Review praised it as “a lush debut novel imbued with impressive, lyrical prose… a compelling saga steeped in the tempo and shadows of farm life in Michigan… conveying the raw, irrepressible vitality of a family trying to live within their means.” The prose captures the landscape and mood with a precision that makes readers feel the crisp winter air, the weight of expectations, and the small joys of family life.

Donna Gene Stankey, alongside her daughter Ramona, drew on personal and family experience to craft the Setterington family saga. Growing up on family farms and later returning to farm life in Michigan, their intimate knowledge of rural life informs every page. Ramona continues to live this lifestyle today, ensuring the authenticity of the stories that honor their ancestors.

Rate is the first installment in a series covering the Setterington family from 1893 to the early 1920s, giving readers an unfolding portrait of Midwestern farm life and the people who shaped it. The novel’s appeal lies in its careful observation of human experience and the quiet dignity of farm families whose lives were tied to the cycles of the land.

Attendees of the London Book Fair can experience the book firsthand at the Explora Books display, where its vivid storytelling and thoughtful reflection invite a closer look at a past both specific and familiar.

Readers can find Rate on Amazon and at other major retailers.
