Amanda Orneck liked an update for The Children of the Forest

So something pretty cool happened last night ~ "The Children of the Forest" hit its funding goal to qualify for Inkshare’s Quill! I’ve been completely blown away by the last-minute rally of fans, and I’m floored that in less than 7 days we managed to move over 50 copies of the book! 

Looking ahead, I’m still somewhat processing the fact that the book will be made. It’s been a long road to reach this point and I couldn’t have come this far without everyone in the Inkshares community who put their time, money, and opinions to use in helping me craft what has become "The Children of the Forest." 

I just wanted to offer a quick look at what to expect in the next few weeks, regarding the schedule for the novel.


  1. As mentioned in another update, I’ll be releasing a companion booklet (Free) to all backers. Men’kai will only receive this as a digital copy, while Alethian+Wolf-Riders will be given soft-cover books.
  2. I’ll be updating the Inkshares page during production on the rest of the novel. I hope to have at least 2-3 more sample chapters made available, along with a refined introduction, video, and more. 
  3. I also have a short-story in the works that will be made available to all backers within the next few weeks. 


Most likely there will be more, but those are the major beats for now. Again, a huge thanks to everyone who backed my novel and made it a reality! I can’t wait to have the finished version in your hands  ~

    This campaign has been an real joyous and at the same time frightening experience so far but it’s not over yet. The road is a little less than half way done and we are just shy of half way there. If you like my hard work please don’t forget to pre-order. Not only will you get good karma for helping a dream come true and have a good book to read, also in another 50 orders you’ll have a chance to win a nice, soft fleece blanket. 

    Thank you all so much for your continuing support and feedback and I hope you have a great weekend.
