Guardians, initiates, readers, followers, buyers, friends, and all inbetween - Phajil zek! (You’ll learn more about that in later chapters, whether published, or coerced into releasing some more goodies) The contest is going wonderfully and we are having a blast! 

But we want to take a second and thank some people who have been incredible, brilliant, absolute SAINTS who have been supportive and kind and will probably end up deserving some characters named after them or something. We had zero idea we would be making so many awesome new friends on this journey.

One of those people is Alexander Barnes, the co-writer of The Amaranth Chronicles, and not only has he lavished praise and kind words on our project, but he’s supported us as a Super Reader (or Guardian, as we’d like to call him) and we’d like to return the favor - please, if you have supported us, consider supporting his series as well. https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-amaranth-chronicles

Another is Byron Gillan, writer of The Children of the Forest, and he’s been kind enough to give us some help and tell his readers about us, and our hope to win the Space Opera contest. His book is SO close to publishing and we (especially Autumn who is a fantasy nerd) really, really, need to hold this book in our hands one day. So go check him out. https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-children-of-the-forest

Give these friends of ours some love, and do remember that if you want to read the entirety of this book, we still need you to help us get the word out. Help us achieve our dreams! Go annoy your friends, turn into the rabid squirrels we know you all to be, and do not rest until The Veiled Hope is in your hands!

~Abby and Autumn

Hey everyone!

So firstly, I was ecstatic to see that we managed to sell 18 copies of the book yesterday! That’s pretty crazy, given how dormant the page has been for the better part of a month. Looking forward, there are still 10 days left for the book’s current funding period. If we can keep sales clipping along at the current pace we’re guaranteed to hit the goal for Quill.

I need everyone who has followed along with the novel to market the book to their friends, family, and anyone else who loves fantasy or just good books in general. Word of mouth is instrumental in successfully hitting each new milestone, and I can only do that with your help!

There are a ton of great rewards currently available for anyone who pre-orders a copy of the book, so now is the time. If you’ve been on the fence, I implore you to check out the new page and the updates samples and then jump!

Finally, I’d like to take the time to recommend a few authors who’ve reached out to me to help with my own campaign, or whose work I’ve followed for some time without comment. 

Abigail Burton and Autumn Gass are the authors of "The Guardians," which is currently seeking to win the Space Opera Contest through 

Inkshares. https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-guardian-the-veiled-hope?recommended=true

Billy O’Keefe is the author of "These are my Friends on Politics," and while he’s already reached his funding goal, I’d still suggest grabbing an early copy if you’ve yet to!

Matthew Isaac Sobin is one of the winners of the Sword & Laser contest, and a great guy who reached out to me multiple times over the course of the campaign with kind words and more. He’s got a great project (it won for a reason) and I’d really suggest checking it out if you’ve somehow missed it.

Joseph Asphahani is another winner (the overall winner, I believe)of the Sword & Laser contest. His book "The Animal in Man" is reminiscent of the beloved "Redwall" series.

So that it’s for now. Remember thought that while things are looking up for "The Children of the Forest," there’s no guarantee without your support that the book will hit its goal. In fact it’s almost certain it wont.  So go pre-order a copy today and help ensure that the adventures of Fionna and Rew become a reality!

Happy Friday! Just wanted to start off by thanking, Andrew Baird, RH Webster, Christopher Leone, Billy O’keefe, Abigail Burton and Autumn Gass
 for their purchases in the last couple of days. You guys are Amazing!

As usual we’ve released another two chapters this morning. "Chapter 23: If Everyone Knew They Could Change The World." is a personal favorite chapter of mine and one that we get comments about a lot. We find Cade and Tarja meeting and the scene hints at a long standing relationship between the two. This chapter is also very special as it marks the end of the build up of our story. I don’t want to spoil anything but from here on out we cash in on the character’s we’ve established and the story becomes a real roller-coaster. Check it out and let us know what you think!!!
