I hope your weekend was nice! I managed to do some recovery on Sunday, so I’ve got a bit of energy going into this week. Last week and the weekend was extremely busy! Saturday morning I woke up at 6 AM and went to help set up the booth at the Collingswood Book Festival. Then, I headed off to a help video a wedding. I didn’t get to stay for the whole festival, but I hear great things! At the Festival we gave out cool key bookmarks and small booklets with the first chapter inside. I was also advertising the cover design promotion, which is still going on! I managed to run the booth for the first hour of the festival. It was a bit nervewracking to try and sell people on a book I could not phyiscally give them that day. Hopefully the sample chapter helped.

 

This Friday I hope to have a treat for you guys! We did a Story By Sentence game. I hope to compile all those sentences from the festival and let you read the story that all the contributors helped write. 

Another cool thing? My main character decided to show up and mingle with the crowd! Luckily there weren’t any incidents with disgruntled Ice Mages or unhinged Raukes. 

 

She did get to meet a giant fish, though. 

 

Campaign Update: We are 61 orders away from Quill guys! 61!!! We are still 5th place in the Geek & Sundry Contest.

Speaking of Geek and Sundry.... We were featured on Geek & Sundry in the Here are Five Underdogs In the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest article written by Rick Heinz, author of The Seventh Age: Dawn.

I just want to point out that there are 366 entries in the Geek & Sundry Contest and we are 5th (for now, looks like there are some cool books gaining ground). Whether or not we win that Top 3 slot... We rocked this contest. 

The Prophetess

Throughout history, in great times of need, a prophet has come to a select few and revealed to them the coming darkness. Each time they have appeared differently. This time, she is known only as the Prophetess. She came to Saran’s mother just before Saran was born and revealed to her the prophecy of the Vel d’Ekaru and the Equitas. Rebecca died soon after. Many years later the Prophetess appeared before a sickened Rowe Blackwell. She has been his guide, and he her messenger ever since. But, as the days grow closer to the rise of the Vel d’Ekaru, her visits have grown less frequent. Some even speculate that she was only the figment of Rowe’s guilt-ridden mind.
