J. Graham-Jones liked an update for Fae Child


Dearest Readers,

The end of the Geek and Sundry Fantasy contest approaches, and while Fae Child is in about 18th place out of nearly 400 entries (respectable), I’d like to bring your attention to WITHERFIST, a book written by my good friend Jenny Graham-Jones. She has gotten up to 9th place, and could go even higher in the two weeks left in the contest. "The true name of a demon is inked into her flesh. To return to her daughter and home, the warrior Irusai must break the binding the ink has created. In doing so, she will ally with a princess in exile and together bring justice to the Last Empire." There are three sample chapters up, each from a different character’s point of view, and they are well worth reading to find out how wide and amazing the world of Witherfist is.

There is also another contest running on Inkshares right now, sponsored by Crypt TV, for horror books. APEX is written by my fellow Oregonian, Deborah Munro, and she is in third place right now and guaranteed publication if she can hold onto third until Halloween. If you would enjoy a Critchon-esque thriller, check it out! "When Jason, an undercover FBI agent, goes to Oregon to investigate reported wolf-attacks on livestock, he’s already skeptical. After seeing that five hundred pound cattle are being decimated by their mysterious predator, he becomes increasingly convinced that something else is responsible. Meanwhile, a scientist named Claire who Jason knows used to work at a research facility in Japan some years back before it exploded under suspicious circumstances, is conducting top secret research behind high walls. What is the connection between the work she was doing in Japan and the work she’s doing now in Oregon? The only things he knows for sure are that she has secrets to hide, and that whatever is causing these deaths is NOT an ordinary wolf…"

 

Now, back to Fae Child’s news! We have crested 70 books ordered, which means I drew the next winner! Julie Rebideaux chose the pink unicorn as her prize, which means after we hit 80 orders I’ll give away the last toy, the pink dragon. And then, who knows, I might just buy some more because these are fun to hand out. ;) Please keep on recommending my book to your friends who like to read, every mention helps.

Enjoy your evening/day, and thank you for your support!

      WE DID IT, FAOII! WE REACHED QUILL!

      Five years of working on this. 200 agents that either said "no thanks" or nothing at all. Dozens of re-writes. Thousands of moments of doubt. All of it has finally come to this. We reached Quill. No matter what happens now, this book will be a physical, real thing. People will be able to read Kaiya’s story. Her world will not be lost to oblivion. 

      Thanks to all of you.

      I can not adequately explain my feelings on the matter. For so long, this has been my everything. And now there’s finally a chance of it becoming more than that. Mostly, I feel humbled. Elated. Terrified. Alive. 

      It is wonderful.

      The battle isn’t over, of course. There’s still a couple weeks left in the Geek and Sundry Contest. It’s going to be hard-- damn near impossible, actually-- but according to the rejection-letter-origami-zoo I have sitting in my office, so was getting this far. "Impossible" is just a word, and not one that is in faoii vocabulary.

      We’ve made it this far. We can take that hill, and we can still claim more victories in the final month before the campaign ends. The idea of "failure" is officially behind us-- there is no losing now.

      Fight on, Faoii. I have never been so proud of this army as I am now. 

      Thank you for everything.

          Dear readers & supporters: 

          Thanks to you, I’m almost at 30% of my Quill goal!!!! *insanely happy dance* 

          THANK YOU.

          You can learn more about the story here: https://youtu.be/raE1OpHenZs

          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.

          - Donna
