The Britannia Club stood on King Street, a respectable limestone facade among respectable limestone facades, with a brass plaque that nobody had looked at in decades; if you had to stop to check the address, you were clearly in the wrong place.
This was St. James. “Clubland.”
The men traversing these streets walked with that air of self-assurance that comes from belonging to a privileged set. In bookish Bloomsbury, the Londoners drifted around the British Museum in the wake of lit. . .
Greetings, Faoii!
I know that many MANY of you have been sending messengers asking for information about our army’s progress. And, I wish I had more information for you. Inkshares is still working their way through other books before they can even start on ours, so there is no new information yet. In fact, nothing has yet changed from when we hit Quill originally, except that, for some reason, we hit Quill AGAIN randomly nearly 2 months later and Inkshares asked me about how far along the story was. I was pleased to inform them that the manuscript was ready to begin the publishing process, but so far, that is as far as we’ve gone. I have offered to send them my completed and edited manuscript on several occasions, but they have asked me to wait. So, we’re waiting, faoii. I know that that’s definitely not our specialty, but it’s currently our only option. Don’t lose hope.
I will not lie-- I had hoped to at least send in the manuscript before my surgery at the end of this week. I wanted assurance that it was in the hands of people who could turn it into something real, just in case. However, if the nearly-impossible happens and something goes wrong on Thursday, don’t worry. My husband has all of the information as well as the completed manuscript and is prepared to continue the process if necessary. You all WILL get your copies of The Last Faoii. We just need to trust in the people of Inkshares and wait until they are ready for us.
This is not the first time that The Last Faoii has met bumps and obstacles on the way to publication. Remember-- I contacted 200 agents and waited for nearly 2 years before I went through a massive overhaul and at last found Inkshares. It has been a fight every step of the way-- this is just one more. But we are faoii-- we know that great battles lead to great victories. This will happen, and it will be glorious.
Hopefully, by the time I contact you next it will be to say that the process is finally underway, but I know I said that last time, too. Shields up, regardless, faoii. We may be waiting, but we are not idle.

My book, Fae Child, is a YA Fantasy - but I can only pick one or the other at the moment, which halves my audience.
