Hello all!

There are only 9 DAYS left in the contest and things are already shaking up. Although I’m still in 2nd place, Peter Ryan’s excellent Destiny Imperfect is creeping up the ladder (only 5 behind me!). I wish there was room for all three of us, but there are only 2 spots up for grabs. I am asking each and every one of you to pre-order a copy if you haven’t done so already or to help spread the word. If you know somebody that likes video games and dragons, chances are they’ll enjoy AYSYWTQ? 

As a remind, those who pre-order will receive a FREE short story titled "Mother of All," in addition to a FREE digital painting. I worked very hard on AYSYWTQ? and I want nothing more than to see this story published one day. 

Let’s make sure Maggie defeats Amasarok once and for all ;) Thank you.

Best,

アリサちゃん

I have some exciting news to share with you about Frost, guys!

1. I just rewrote Frost’s opening line after realizing that this novel needs a couple more chapters in the beginning so readers can get to know Lauren better before she ends up in Daraglathia.

Here’s my new first line, which I hope intrigues you a great deal. If it does, feel free to comment, and I’ll answer as many questions as I can without spoilers happening.

"My name is Lauren Frost, and as soon as I put this high school hell behind me, I plan to go looking for my best friend Noah who disappeared when we were five."

Please share what you think about this new first line with me!

2. I’m using Chris Fox’s 5,000 words per hour method to crank out the remaining couple of scenes in light of the changes I’m planning to make to the novel. This method is a life-changer for me. I’m cranking scenes out much more quickly since reading it, but they’re going to require a good bit of editing on the back end.
