Updates, Faoii! Listen up!
Everyone raise their mug for Jillian Bostwick-- winner of our current raffle and the $25 amazon giftcard! Congratulations, Faoii! Thank you for supporting our campaign on your social networks. DM me so I can get your mailing information and send you your reward.
I’ll be putting up a $100 Visa giftcard up for raffle soon--pre-order your copy of The Last Faoii to enter for your chance to win that prize. There are excerpts, chapters, and character art on The Last Faoii’s page. The book is worth purchasing-- and getting a $100 visa would just be icing on the cake. Make sure to pick up your blade if you haven’t already.
As for current battle-plans and morale: I have one person that has served as my sole adviser and motivator for many years. When things get rough, this person has always convinced me to keep going. So imagine my surprise when he gave me the "it’s a shame your campaign is failing; you worked hard on it" speech. Wow, Faoii. It seems that my closest ally has given up.
Now, what should I do about this, do you think? Should I just roll over and wait for the end?
Hahahaha! No.
Because more people keep answering the call each day. Because more and more I see The Last Faoii on social media and outside groups. Because I have never given up on something that was important to me. It cost me my health and (possibly) my sanity to write this book. I stayed up for days at a time so I could tell this story-- so I could introduce a fantasy novel with a strong heroine that my future daughters could look up to. I gave almost everything just to make it exist. I will give whatever’s left to see it succeed.
I know that it’s different now because this is the first battle I’ve ever fought where I couldn’t do it alone. I am used to standing against entire armies with nothing but my own, chipped sword and sometimes-weary battle cry against the oncoming hoardes of whoever would stand between me and my future. But now I cannot succeed without an army at my back. Luckily, I have an army-- you. Let’s fight for a glorious victory at the end of this long, uphill battle.
Let’s do it, Faoii. Let’s take that hill. Let’s reach the top of those leader boards and get mass publication. Let’s make all of this hard work at last pay off.
Faoii, let me hear your battle cry!
