Michael Jovanne is a new squadron commander who must lead his fellow pilots into a massive battle on the eve of the greatest war the galaxy has ever seen. A war started by his government’s closest ally.
Orders, Faoii! Listen up!
I am incredibly honored and humbled by the slew of private couriers bringing me letters in the last day. So many of you have offered me congratulations and praise for this newest milestone of ours. Quill is no small feat, and I am proud of all of us. However, I was surprised by how many of you said "Congratulations! Now maybe you can get some sleep."
Does this fight look like it’s over to you, Faoii? Get back in line.
No. We are still 2 weeks away from the end of the Geek and Sundry Contest. We gathered this army so that we could fight to the top of that hill and we will still do it. Two weeks to overtake 3 people. We overtook 300 in less than that. How dare we give up now?
We need more soldiers. Ask people. Directly. Do not be afraid of talking to them. Do not be ashamed for seeking aide. That hill cannot be taken without more blades on the field-- and we cannot get those warriors without seeking them out. Yes, the book will definitely appear appear on Amazon in the future-- but I can’t sign copies of books purchased after the fact. If your friends want a signed copy of The Last Faoii they MUST join our battle. Remind them that waiting won’t give them the chance to name one of 3 characters or a free edit from an English teacher and soon-to-be-published author. Remind them that this world is worthy of leading in that contest.
Remind them that we are faoii.
Two weeks. I will see you at the top of that hill.

Well, in my excitement to share the news that Leaf Falling is in 13th place, I hit that 1 an extra time...
The book is just 3 slots out of the top ten, not more than a hundred. It’s very, very close. You can make the difference oh, so easily.
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the support!
Dearest Readers,
Dear readers & supporters:
Thanks to you, I’m almost at 30% of my Quill goal!!!! *insanely happy dance*
THANK YOU.

In the video I also talk about a bit about why I’m crowdfunding the publication of my first manuscript, and that is to help empower more people to become creators, while raising awareness & funds for organizations that believe the best innovation comes from the arts and sciences coming together.
In other words, my goal with this publication is to support local creators who have an appreciation of what the arts AND sciences have to offer!`
The way I can do this right now is by using my own creation (Where the Sun Sets) as an opportunity- to talk about my experience as a creator, and by using the funds generated to support partner local organizations.
Over the coming weeks you can expect to learn more about:
- The incredible organizations I’m partnering with & Why;
- How our (mine and yours) collective efforts are supporting each one;
- How these organizations will be supported in perpetuity (or at least, as long as book sales are a thing) by our efforts;
- And how you can get involved!
For all my design friends: If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your work (your own illustrations or designs) on the cover of a published book, stay tuned for BOOK COVER CONTEST DETAILS!!!
Please stay tuned for updates 
Thank you for reading & as always, I welcome your feedback and comments.
