We are down to the last days of the Inkshares campaign.  Thank you so much for your support!  Shadow of the Owl is trucking along, and it's all because of your support.

I am heading out of town for a wedding, but will try to continue the updates during the week I'm gone.  

Yesterday I put up the lastest character spotlight.  Make sure you go check it out: https://www.facebook.com/shadowoftheowlbook/posts/1173904645969434 

I have a few more to put up and then it will be time to vote on your favorite!  The chosen character will star in a short story written just for you my beloved VIPs.

Please share Shadow of the Owl with anyone you think might enjoy the book, especially now that I have the new and improved Chapter One up on the Inkshares page.

Oh speaking of new and improved, I've got my updated author's site live: http://amanda.orneck.com. Head there to read my blog.  

As always, I am here if you need me, and am grateful you are along for the ride. I am gearing up for a release date announcement soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Okay, back to packing!

I'm hearing from my editor that we will have the final edit back on Wednesday, so it's time to celebrate!  I can't send you all cupcakes (as much as I would love to), but I can share with you the newly revised first chapter of Shadow of the Owl.  The beginning of the book has changed pretty drastically from the last time you read it, and all of it for the better.  We now have a much clearer introduction to the world of Shadowhaven and its people, and I'm very happy how it turned out.

If you can, take a moment and read the new chapter and leave me a comment letting me know what parts you like best. Go ahead and share it with anyone you think might like the book and maybe they too will preorder so we can make this book happen.

Also, I've updated my website (http://www.amanda.orneck.com) to reflect my new fiction focus, and I'm continuing to put up character spotlights on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/shadowoftheowlbook)for Shadow of the Owl.  Make sure to head on over and take a gander as I will be polling the Facebook followers which character to write my exclusive short story about -- you know I'm writing just for you VIP preorder lovlies.

Have a wonderful evening!

Amanda
