Really, thank you! 

Honestly, no words can express how grateful I am to have you a part of this journey. We did it... together! It might not feel like you did much, but you kick-started the production of this book! So I truly, truly hope you enjoy The Slave Prince.

    I thought long and hard about the cover...

    Should I stick with the crown of blood or should I head in a different direction? I chose a different direction. And this... is the result.

    Why constellations? Why is there a crown in the sky? Why is Thom standing on grass? OK, so I don’t know why he’s standing on grass. But for the first two questions, the answers are in the book. I guess its safe to say, this cover reflects the content of the book more than the title itself. And that... makes it even more awesome. Oh, I can’t wait to see it in print! Can you?

    Aside from this new cover, the content of the book is well on its way to publication. It has been sent to the media and influencers for the pre-launch marketing campaign. So, the next time you hear from me, the book will be on its way to you.

    *IMPORTANT NOTE: If you ordered a paperback, log into your Inkshares account to double check your shipping address. Be sure it is the correct place you’d like the book to be sent to. If you have trouble logging in, please contact hello@inkshares.com for assistance.

    Well, that’s about it for this short update. I hope you like the cover, as much as I and the team at Inkshares do. Until you hear from me again, have a wonderful week ahead!

      2017 Round Up

      As the year comes to a close, I have a few awesome announcements to make regarding The Slave Prince.

      First, the book has (almost) completed copy editing! Cover design is next and I cannot wait for it to begin. It’s the best part of book production -- seeing a new, fancy cover that would soon sit on bookshelves. I’m excited!

      Second, the book has a release date! May 29, 2018. Coincidentally, it’s one day before my mum’s birthday. So it’s going to be a celebratory week!

      Third, feast your eyes on the map below. This world map was made by John Robin, my super author friend with undeniable talent. And if you think revealing the map is a #spoiler, it isn’t. Because... it’s not the only map in the book! There’ll be a kingdom map too!


      With three awesome announcements to end 2017, I definitely have a lot to be thankful about this year. 

      Even though it took some time -- waiting for the book to start production -- I’m so thankful that things are falling into place. I’m thankful that you supported my book last year, and have been patiently waiting for its publication. I’m thankful for the team at Inkshares, who’re helping me better the book in every aspect. And I’m thankful for everyone who has continued to encourage me, with a desire to see my book become a success. Indeed, it’s a very merry Christmas and a happy new year for me. And I hope... it is the same for you too.

      Looking forward, I believe 2018 is going to be a good year. No matter what happens -- whether I find success or don’t -- it’s still going to be better than 2017. So please remain seated -- the ride isn’t over.

      Till my next update, have a merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a wonderful new year!

        It’s August again.

        One year ago, The Slave Prince entered the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest. Boy oh boy, weren’t those days fun? I remember hustling you for support, checking my book’s status daily, and worrying if I could tough it out till October. It sure doesn’t feel like a year ago with such an experience. But, I’m glad I did it all.

        One year later - this very month itself - The Slave Prince begins production. Yes, the ball is rolling! But as much as I’m celebrating, I have my work cut out for me. And I have to say, it’ll take a while before the book will be in print. 

        A week ago I received developmental notes from Inkshares’ Story Head, and just last Wednesday I responded with my rewrite outline. To make The Slave Prince better, some scenes have to be changed, more world building needs to take place, and a deeper drive must be given to the characters. So, I’ve decided to put writing the sequel of my trilogy on hold to focus on this novel. And I hope, I really hope, that I’ll be able to get the book ready for copyediting by the end of this year.

        With all that said, there’ll be silence in the coming months. But the next time I write to you, I should be done with developmental editing. Now, it’s time I put my gameface on - it’s time I finish this race.

          MID-YEAR UPDATE

          I’m guessing most of you, at this point of time, might’ve completely forgotten about my book. Which is fine by me - a blessing, in fact. However, I don’t want to take your patience for granted. So thank you for waiting. Thank you for understanding. And thank you for, as odd as this might sound, the silence. 

          Since I’m writing today, you’re probably wondering if there’s good news. Alas, I write this update simply to say I’m still waiting. I submitted my manuscript and all the related documents on March 31st. Since then, I’ve decided to trust that The Slave Prince will start production in its own perfect timing. Silly, I know. What kind of gullible faith is that? However, I choose to believe that the day The Slave Prince is made, is the right day for it to be made. I don’t know when that will be - it could be in 2018 (I hope) - but I believe.

          Recently, I wrote a blog post about the perfect timing. It’s sort of my life’s motto (you can read the whole post here: https://jeynagrace.wordpress.com/2017/06/01/the-perfect-timing/). Naturally, I approach this novel with the same mindset. Since it took 3 years to find the right place for The Slave Prince, what’s a few more years? At the end of the day, The Slave Prince is simply a part of my writing journey - it isn’t the finish line.

          With all that said, I hope you’ll continue to wait with me. I truly appreciate all you’ve done - supporting the book during the contest, and post-contest with your syndicates (those were such pleasant surprises). I’m looking forward to the day I present you with my book. But until then, believe with me - its perfect time will come.

            I rarely come across books written in second person - I, myself, find it difficult to do so. But Jane does it seamlessly. Right off the bat, we're pulled into a world through the engaging narrative and interesting premise. What's more to ask from a book?
            Mutants: Uprising
            It’s hard to be the ’good guy’ when you lead the local cell of the League, a terrorist organization. Gang warfare turns out to be the least of your worries when shadowy organizations start targeting your friends.
