Hello all,
Very very sorry for the protracted radio silence, especially this late in my campaign. Please chalk it up to a combination of the oncoming holidays and some very difficult personal/family circumstances that have demanded much of my attention and may continue to do so for the immediate future. Nevertheless I've been busy on FEYSIDE and its promotion as time permits, and today I can send you some fruits of that work:

First off, Chapter 8 of the book is off to readers. This is a very special chapter, not so much "the heart of the matter" as "the doorway to everywhere." The images and events of the chapter were some of the very first that I imagined and some of the first to be scribbled down, and I worked backwards and forwards to grow the seed of these weird imaginings into a story, root and branch. Hopefully with this chapter you all will begin to have a better sense of the both the broader outlines of the story and its very specific voice. As always, feedback is most welcome!

Additionally, I am also attaching some teaser frames from a promotional video which I hope to release in the next day or three for my final push. These reveal key characters and settings in a more finalized depiction guided by LJ Ruell's wonderful concept art - hopefully they provoke anticipation for the full video to come!

Lastly I remind you all again to stay tuned for the Inkshares Review-a-Thon on December 19th - a chance at great prizes, an awesome opportunity to interact with crowdfunding authors (me included!), and a good time to be had by all...
