Not sure things have been progressing well to be honest. 
People who I thought, for sure, would back my project, at least with the e-book, have blanked me. While others, who I hardly know, have backed me to the hilt. 

No matter. Keep striving. I have edited ruthlessly and cut over 500 words, mostly description, from the text. My only critic (so far) said there was too much description so I took her advice. I hope, as well, I have eradicated most basic errors and made the proof reading/editing job easier. 

Oh, there was one other criticism, it needs a map (or maps). I agree, I’m struggling with it though.

I have also, rather arrogantly (considering the lack of pre-orders for this one) begun on the sequel. I recently found out what the "Bechdel Test" is, thanks to Janna Grace’s "Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate", and since the sequel already featured one strong female character, I decided that she would call upon the other strong female for help when things got tough.
"Women of the Wise Oak" will see Gwenn and Epona smash the Bechdel test out of the park. 

Meanwhile, I have boldly re-uploaded the entire text of "Children of the Wise Oak" for all to see. Remember, if you support this book and it gets published, then the girls get to have a field day in the sequel. 

Stranger Miracles hit 10 pre-orders! Thank you so much! The funding campaign closes near the end of April, so there’s still lots of time for the project to grow (If anybody has suggestions for marketing myself/my novel to increase pre-orders, I’d love to hear them!)

I’m doing some revising + editing this morning on chapter 2, which is the first chapter we get to hear Sarah’s side of things. I’ll be posting that soon, to give people a glimpse of both of my main ladies.

Ever-helpful Dewey is doing his part to help the writing process along this morning.
