Late update this week, Ghosts and Guardians... but it’s better than no update!

First, an actual update: Our followers are few (61) and our pre-orders are few (37) so I am not filled with a lot of confidence that I will reach my goal of 250 by November 15. That’s okay, because I am filled with the confidence that A Tale of Ghosts and Guardians is a captivating story with amazing characters that only requires more readers and more advocates. Grassroots, baby! If I do not reach my goal, you money will be refunded, but the campaign will not end. I will keep promoting my work. I will keep asking you to promote my work. I will keep asking everyone I see to fall in love with Kara and Hardy and Beth and Will and Chris and Monique and Maninder as much as I do.

With that said, I owe you another Monster File this week-- Faeries 

Before the end of the first common era millennium, the faerie and dragon populations rivaled humans. Many battles were fought for dominance and humans emerged the victor, with faeries facing near extinction and dragons completely wiped out. Today, because of their endangerment, most faeries are reclusive and only enter the human world to feed or reproduce. Faeries have different strengths and weaknesses, as well as different tastes. They are not a malicious species, rather they are fighting to survive in a world that has moved on from them.

Faeries are an ancillary force in A Tale of Ghosts and Guardians and become much more prominent in A Tale of Beasts and Brothers and later books in the series. 

Next week will be the final Monster File spotlight. It will be on the most powerful group in the world of A Tale of Ghosts and Guardians. It is the group that can turn dragons into myth, reduce faeries to folklore, and banish gods from the earth: Witches. 

See you on Halloween!
