1) We’re still at 284 pre-orders. We haven’t sold any at all for the month of November. I know that this is because you all put as much force as you could into trying to get us to the top 3 in the G&S contest, and I am still grateful for that. However, the campaign is still going on through the end of the week. If you know of anyone who wants their signed copy, make sure to direct them to the page while there’s still time.

2) My last beta just finished reading the manuscript. It took him 2 days, which I find comforting. I enjoy it when my betas can’t put the book down! On top of that, he also gave me a WONDERFUL idea on enhancing a part of the book that I really think you’re going to love. I’m currently working on that part, and while I’m frenzied in my desire to perfect it, I’m also elated at how it’s turning out. I look forward to sharing it with you when the book comes out. ;)

3) Work on the sequel continues. It is... very dark, but I absolutely love it. Possibly even more than the first book, but for different reasons. I might start posting excerpts later on. Let me know if something like that would interest you.

That’s it for now, Faoii. I hope your own battles are going well. Shield up!
