Hello Readers and Followers!

We are in the last month of my funding campaign for Fae Child. This has been a great journey - not that it’s been easy, or even fun at times - but it’s been a time of stretching who I am as a person and learning what I really want out of all this.

Obviously publication is still my goal. Fae Child will be published, I promise you that. With 93 copies left to sell and 24 days in which do to it, my confidence that Inkshares is the place where this will happen is waning. If you have been waiting to swoop in and order at the last second, like Gandalf the White riding in to Helm’s Deep to save the day, then now is the time! Preorder your copy!

I will remind you that Fae Child has been backed by three syndicates here on Inkshares. The last thing I want is to fail in the face of such support. Your personal recommendations are worth their weight in gold to me, and I am incredibly grateful for (and a little in awe of) all the reviews and recommendations Fae Child has already gotten. Thank you.

If you haven’t ordered yet, please consider doing so! The campaign will end on Feb 28th and refunds will be going out in March if we do not hit at least 250 orders before then.

Thank you again, for all your support. I can’t do this, and couldn’t have come this far, without you.

Greetings, Faoii!

I know that many MANY of you have been sending messengers asking for information about our army’s progress. And, I wish I had more information for you. Inkshares is still working their way through other books before they can even start on ours, so there is no new information yet. In fact, nothing has yet changed from when we hit Quill originally, except that, for some reason, we hit Quill AGAIN randomly nearly 2 months later and Inkshares asked me about how far along the story was. I was pleased to inform them that the manuscript was ready to begin the publishing process, but so far, that is as far as we’ve gone.  I have offered to send them my completed and edited manuscript on several occasions, but they have asked me to wait. So, we’re waiting, faoii. I know that that’s definitely not our specialty, but it’s currently our only option. Don’t lose hope.

I will not lie-- I had hoped to at least send in the manuscript before my surgery at the end of this week. I wanted assurance that it was in the hands of people who could turn it into something real,  just in case.  However, if the nearly-impossible happens and something goes wrong on Thursday, don’t worry. My husband has all of the information as well as the completed manuscript and is prepared to continue the process if necessary. You all WILL get your copies of The Last Faoii. We just need to trust in the people of Inkshares and wait until they are ready for us.

This is not the first time that The Last Faoii has met bumps and obstacles on the way to publication. Remember-- I contacted 200 agents and waited for nearly 2 years before I went through a massive overhaul and at last found Inkshares.  It has been a fight every step of the way-- this is just one more. But we are faoii-- we know that great battles lead to great victories. This will happen, and it will be glorious. 

Hopefully, by the time I contact you next it will be to say that the process is finally underway, but I know I said that last time, too. Shields up, regardless, faoii. We may be waiting, but we are not idle.

Hello!
*raises from the muck*
Good news! I’ve finally made it out of that muck and pushed through the block that has been stopping me from finishing two chapters!
Still needs some editing to be sure (a lot of temp names ;) ) but now I ’m back on the track the story is flowing again!

I can’t wait to share with you all both what’s in these chapters and the chapters to come. So much more to see and characters to meet (including my personal favorites). I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

As always thank you, everyone, for your support it’s what encourages me to keep going when I’m pulling my hair out thinking everything on the page is terrible. You are truly amazing.

Keeping sharing and spreading the word! I’ll talk to you again soon!

P.S  How about yesterday? Shoutout to anyone who participated in the march you rock!

Faoii! Have you looked outside? Have you seen the news? Millions of women (and men, too, of course) are marching. Are making their voices heard. Are being more today than they were told they could be in the past. I am amazed to live in this world. I wrote THE LAST FAOII and created its society to encompass these women. I wanted to give them a world where they could be who they wanted to be--warriors. And here we are, making this world into that place. In real life. Right outside my door. Isn’t that amazing?
