I hope everyone is doing well. I have been busy not only promoting my book where I can, but also preparing for the upcoming school year as my career as an art teacher as also finally kicked off. Yes, I am proud to share that I have accepted my very first full time teaching position and I am both thrilled and nervous to start up this year. 

Now, for a book update. Currently I am wrapping up the ending of my novel, which took an unexpected turn in the 8th - yes, that's right - rewrite. I realize this may be edited again should I reach my goal but I am hoping through Inkshares to keep the story's integrity as well as improving it any way possible for my readers. :) This is just the first story in Korban's adventures, and I am super excited to continue his journey into the next book.

How can you help? Right now as I am preparing for my students who start on Tuesday, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share my story with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, fellow readers, anyone at all who may be interested or can help by preordering for FREE here on Inkshares. If you have them sign up, then follow me, I will follow back and that gives them a nice $10 credit towards their account that they can preorder Tainted Moonlight with for FREE!

In addition to this nice perk, I am holding a contest. I am an artist as well, and I am offering up a free commission to my 50th and 100th preordered books. That's right- free digital art or graphic design work of your choice (I do everything from cartooning to invitations, photo restorations, etc.). I haven't forgotten my first fans though- if the person who is my 50th or 100th preorder was recommended by you, you will also earn a free commission - and an Amazon gift card that will increase in value as I get more preorders in! 

Consider it a nice incentive to help me promote my story as I kick off the school year. :) 

Also with this, when I reach 100 preorders, I will be adding Chapter 2 for your reading pleasure, and possibly more fun things in store for future milestones. 

Please encourage friends and family to check out my story! I greatly appreciate all of your support in this endeavor and I am hoping to get back into the running again for The Nerdist contest! 

Thank you again for all your support, and I hope to update you soon with that next chapter and more goodies to come!

Sincerely,

Amy Baker / Erin Kelly, author of the Tainted Moonlight series
