Thanks to your support, we have had a great few weeks, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received for our book, A Friend for Otter. We have heard not only that you find the story unique and interesting, but also that many of you are inspired by the idea of adults encouraging and empowering young readers to become young writers.

We may be biased, but we agree.

Please take a minute to watch this video where Sylvia and I update you on the campaign and express our gratitude for all the support. In the video, we also answer another of your questions about A Friend for Otter. Please keep your questions coming, and we will continue to answer them periodically.

So thank you again for your support and feedback. We hope you will keep it coming and continue to share our story—both stories, really—with others who will be inspired to write with the special young people in their lives. And if you would like to explore more of Otter’s world, don’t forget to visit our website, where you can learn more about the people and places you’ll encounter in our story.

P.S. We have decided to release Chapter 2 (“Escape”) on May 10 to celebrate 30 days of going strong on our Inkshares campaign. So if you are hungry for even a little more of our story, your wait will soon be over.
