Greetings, Faoii!
I know I haven’t reached out through Inkshares for a while. If you’re not following my on
Facebook, make sure to do so. There’s a lot going on, and I’m always updating progress. However, this week was so big for
The Last Faoii that I felt that I HAD to reach out through this medium. It’s been an amazing couple of days.
First, our army had a booth at the Montana Renaissance Festival last weekend. We sold more than a hundred paperback copies of
The Last Faoii and nearly as many audiobooks. Also, for the first time, I had copies of my first Faoii short story, "The Faoii of Ashwood" for sale (included as part of the
Writing Bloc anthology
Escape!). It was a wonderful weekend and I got to meet SO MANY of you face-to-face for the first time. All while looking like a dwarf! Truly my favorite event of the year.
As exciting as that was, though, Faoii, there’s no time to rest these days. This year I also had the absolute honor and privilege to attend the HEARNow! Audiobook Awards festival. That’s right! The Last Faoii was a finalist in the Fantasy category for the IAA. It was an amazing weekend filled with amazing authors and narrators (and I was more than a little starstruck by all the HUGE names that were there. Names I’d never thought I’d be in the same room with. But there we were. And you know what, Faoii? We earned that.) It was a wonderful event, and I am once again awed and humbled by the amazing capacity for creation and world building humans have. Seeing so much of it in one place was almost staggering, and I am so grateful to everyone that helped to make the audiobook as big of a success as it has been.
(Do you see that wonderful human up there? That’s the incredibly talented Inkshares author
Evan Graham).
The sequel to
The Last Faoii is coming along nicely, and I’m proud to say that I have a fire for it again. By now, all of you should have received your refunds from Inkshares if you pre-ordered it. Many of you reached out to make sure it was still coming-- and it is. But I’m moving away from this platform. I feel that there are better avenues for our warriors, and I mean to keep you in the loop during every step of the process. Make sure to follow me on
Facebook if you haven’t already. Who knows that the next few months will bring?
I am eternally grateful to all of you for your support thus far. I can’t wait to show you what’s yet to come.
Shields up.
Faoii-Tahani
