Tahani Nelson liked a chapter from The Last Faoii

That monastery lit like a candle.

Jade and I had painstakingly blocked the exits leading from the monastery, then set fire to the main corridors first. Then, scampering through the ceiling like rats on a sinking ship, we systematically boxed the croeli in with traps and flame. The croeli’s surprised cries echoed through the smoke-filled corridors and my heart soared.

When we had at last finished the grisly deed, Jade and I worked our way back towards the chapel. We’d left one door. . .

    Hello, Everyone!

    Well, this is it. 1 month left to go. I believe we can do this. The Last Faoii has gotten so much support and so many good reviews-- I just can’t imagine it failing now.

    But... we are only at 82 pre-orders. Not even half of the way there. We can do this, but it’s going to take some work. I need your help.

    Let everyone know about The Last Faoii. I have excerpts, chapters, and character portraits on The Last Faoii’s page. I’ll post an easy-to-share image at the end of this update. There’s a contest going on: If people pre-order before Friday (July 22) they’re automatically entered for a chance to win one of five original signed drawings. People have put up flyers about The Last Faoii in bookstores and coffee shops all over the US. I’m almost ashamed of how much I’ve spent on advertisements. All of the pieces are there. We just need to make it happen.

    So please. Please help me make this dream a reality. We have one month to do it. I know we can. 

    Take care of yourselves. Love Always.

      Hey, everyone!

      Don’t forget! You have less than a week left to win some original artwork I made for The Last Faoii. I’ll be raffling off five character portraits/blurbs on FRIDAY. So, if you haven’t ordered already, make sure you do soon! 

      As of now you have a 1/16 chance of winning. I think those are pretty good odds. Best of luck to you! 


      Love always,

      T

        Hey, everyone!

        I couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to introduce you all to Lyn. Her backstory actually takes up a few (awesome) chapters that will probably go up sooner or later, but I’ve given you my favorite excerpt from her tale. It’s about a 4-minute read. You should check it out!

        Time is running out to pre-order The Last Faoii. Get on it if you haven’t already! :)

          Oh my goodness, everyone. The Last Faoii was chosen as the July pick for the Teen Reads Syndicate! I am so so so honored and want to give a shout-out to Tabi Card (author of The Test and others) for her support. I wasn’t even aware of this syndicate, but I am so... humbled that word of The Last Faoii has spread through inkshares. Thank you thank you thank. 

          Love always,

            Wow. Two e-mails in one day. Sorry if that bothers you, but I honestly could NOT just leave you all with Chapter 7. I just couldn’t do it.

            So Chapter 8 is up! Pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place during this chapter and you finally get to meet someone very very important... Kaiya’s brother.

            What? You didn’t know she had a brother? That’s cool. Neither did she. ;)


            Oh, yeah. Also, there’s only 36 days left of the campaign. Is it even possible to get 172 pre-orders in 36 days? Part of me says no, but I want to prove that part wrong. I can with your help.

            Take care. Love always,

              Hi, Everyone!

              So, I just put up Chapter 7, and I have to say that it’s quite possibly my LEAST favorite chapter in the entire book (I know. Great marketing there, huh? Don’t you just want to read it now??) But seriously, I hate it. I’ve always hated it. Every time I change it I still hate it. I think it’s too long and too dry (even though it’s so much shorter and better than it was before the first 8 rewrites). The problem is that I can’t just delete it because the events within are necessary to the story. You can’t have chapter 8 without chapter 7, and chapter 8 is where you meet *SPOILER* Kaiya’s croeli brother! *END SPOILER* 

              Gah. I love the chapters going forward and will probably start posting them in the next couple days, but I could really REALLY use some help on how to make 7 less... sucky. Please. And thank you!

              Love always,

              T

                Hi, everyone!

                As always, I want to start off by thanking you for your support of The Last Faoii. It’s a tough road, but I have so many people keeping me going that I know we’ll make it. :)

                Today was eventful. I stared putting up flyers about The Last Faoii in my hometown. Combined with the advertisements I’ve purchased, I’m really hoping that pre-orders start picking up. I also set up a meeting with a local bookstore owner so that we can talk about when/how I can offer a reading for The Last Faoii. Thrilling and terrifying, that.

                Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to put up any sort of information at my local library, but several people made up for that by stepping forward and volunteering to put up flyers in their hometowns. Can you believe it? People all around the country are going to start seeing The Last Faoii flyers! If you want to join in that fun, send me an e-mail (tahani.nelson@gmail.com) or find me on Facebook (Tahani Nelson) and I’ll send you a digital or hard copy of the flyers. I would love the support!

                The Last Faoii was recently nominated for the Break the Beschdel with Strong Female Characters syndicate again, which is exciting. However, so was Evan Graham’s super-awesome Tantalus Depths and I kind of want to see him win. He really deserves it. Still, it was an honor to be nominated again.

                On top of that, I guess The Last Faoii was also nominated for a different syndicate, too. But I don’t know which one or how that’s going. I hear weird things through the grapevine sometimes. If anyone has more information, drop me a line, please.

                Anyway, I’m going to try to put up more flyers tomorrow, but I also have a protest to go to, so I’m not sure how much time I’ll have. Still, I stayed up for days at a time writing The Last Faoii, so I should be able to stay up days at a time trying to promote it, right?

                Take care of yourselves. Follow The Last Faoii on FB if you haven’t already. I’d love to see you!

                Love always,
