Hey guys! Sorry for the long gap of time since my last update on the actual book. Chris and I, along with the help of our Dev Editor, have been elbow deep in the manuscript to finish edits. The manuscript is nearly 75% finished with its Developmental Edit and then its shipped off to Inkshares for them to work their magic!

In the mean time check out our Instragram page for more of the Art you guys love so much!

At ease, Faoii. This updates more about fun than battleplans.

We have more warriors joining the ranks every day, and I wanted to give you all a bit of a reminder on what we’re fighting for.

So far you have seen our army’s first battle under Faoii-Kaiya-- our first true moment of unity. You’ve met Lyn, and have lived her torment--you know what we’ve lost and why we fight. You’ve seen that not all of our moments are of desperation and fear-- the interactions of Kaiya and her brother remind us of humor and camaraderie even during dark times. I’ve shown you an intercepted letter explaining our words and customs to outsiders. And you’ve seen the fall of the last monastery, the rise of the croeli, and the beginning of Kaiya’s story.

This is a good reminder of who we are, Faoii, but it is not all we are. As the Oath says, "We are the weavers of the Tapestry." It’s time to truly understand what that means.

This evening I will send you an excerpt of Kaiya’s experience with the Tapestry-- and you will see exactly how all of our lives are intertwined--how all actions are worth so much more than we realize in the moment. Be ready, Faoii. You are part of this war-- and your action or inaction has as much affect on the outcome of this fight as any other deed. Kaiya will show you.

Take care of yourselves and each other. 

Dismissed.

Updates, Faoii! Listen up!

The first month of the Geek and Sundry contest is over, and even though we came to the fight 20 days late, we still made it to the top 10 list. Well done, soldiers! Drinks all around!

I also learned something interesting today-- did you all realize that several of those who are above us in the ranks are still writing their novels? The novels that people are pre-ordering so quickly and in such large quantities... are not even complete, much less polished and perfected. I find this perplexing, since I put The Last Faoii through 5 years, a dozen betas and 13 edits before I even considered it worthy of your gazes. Surely if they can reach such heights while in a state of unreadiness we can conquer the same forces with our sharpened swords. Our banner will be at the top of that hill soon, but only if we find other warriors to join the fight. I need you, Faoii.

Remember there are still 3 days to share the pinned post on facebook.com/the-last-faoii (and thus enter to win a $25 Amazonian gift card). And I plan to put up an even better prize for people who have pre-ordered if we can reach 100 copies sold. I’d tell you more-- but it’s a secret. ;)

We’ve done well, Faoii. But this fight is just beginning. Remember-- all of this is for naught if we don’t get into one of the top 3 spots. And there’s only 2 months left to get there!

Shields up, Faoii. I will send out more updates as I can.
