Greetings, Faoii! It’s been another month, and this one has been our best one to date! Look at what we’ve done, my warriors!

Do you see that? 345 copies in one month. For every one of you that spread the word and left a review-- I thank you. This is your doing, and thus I raise my mug.

Actually, if you’d like to raise a mug or drinking horn with me in person, consider coming to The Montana Renaissance Festival in Billings on June 2 and 3rd. It’s at Zoo Montana, and I’ll be there with books, a booth, a quill, and a brand new set of armor. I would love to meet some of you in person, Faoii. Put a face to the warriors that have carried us so far. 

One more thing: If you haven’t already followed Faoii Betrayer do so now! We’re going to make this sequel real one way or another. But sequels only matter if people know the original book is out there. Keep shouting your battle-cry, Faoii. Tell the world! Rate, review, share! Ask your local library if they can get a copy in. Give The Last Faoii as gifts. Faoii Betrayer will never become real if people aren’t excited, but we know that they should be excited. You’ve seen Faoii-Kaiya’s journey. You know she’s worthy of your support. Keep pushing. Let me hear your battle-cry!

And, as always-- Keep those shields up.

Faoii-Tahani

    Updates, Faoii! Listen up!

    I apologize for my prolonged silence, dear warriors. There has been no news on the publishing front, and thus I had no information to give to you. I will, of course, relay any messages from our Inkshares allies as I receive word.

    Despite my silence, however, I assure you that I have not been remiss in my faoii duties. There are always battles to be fought, wrongs to be righted, and situations to improve. Work on Faoii Betrayer is going well, and my personal battles have been exciting and plentiful. Neo-Nazis have threatened my homestate with an armed, hate-filled march, and I have done what I can to remind them that such things will not be tolerated. When they march this weekend you can rest assured that I will be there, and they will hear my battle cry. I have sworn not to start anything at this protest, but I am faoii. I am prepared to finish whatever comes. Even if you cannot be there in person, my warriors, I hope you will add your voice to the Choir in any way you can. Faoii do not stand silently by in the face of such evil.

    My battle with health issues has been less straight-forward. It’s been more than a year now, and there is still no clear victor in this ongoing war. While I have not been laid low permanently, I have also been unable to completely fight off the infections that have been slowly depleting my strength and morale. I admit that it is easier now that my campaign for The Last Faoii has ended, but it is still a long, drawn-out battle. Luckily, I finally (blessedly) go in for surgery next month. Perhaps this war will finally end and I’ll feel like a true faoii again. Wish me luck.

    I hope your own battles in your own wars are going well. I hope you continue to seek out ways to improve the world and the lives of those within. I hope that your battle cries have been piercing in their beauty and unfaltering as you stand against whatever enemies have tried to break you in the last months. I hope you have continued to uphold your faoii titles. In whatever personal battles and demons you square up against, know that I am proud of you.

    Watch for my missives in the future. I’ll keep you updated on this war and others.
    Dismissed.

      Orders, Faoii! Listen up!

      October 1st is this Saturday. That means that the drawing for the $100 Visa is in just a few days. Tell you friends, your family, random literate acquaintances--  we need every soldier capable of lifting a sword on this field! The contest is drawing to a close and we’re only in 6th place. I need you to spread the word.

      Saturday also means that the syndicates on Inkshares are beginning to look for nominations for their October picks. This is the last syndicate pick to fall within the G&S contest’s timeline-- so any help we receive will help boost us to that top three placement that I swear on my blade we WILL reach. 

      The Last Faoii has already been nominated in the Epic Fantasy Syndicate and the Write Out Loud Syndicate. I would be proud to display either of these medals on our wall. So, if you’re in one of these syndicates (or any syndicate you think The Last Faoii may have a place in), make sure you add your voice to our choir. You are faoii. Your word will bring more soldiers to our banner. And the more unique voices that sound their battle cry, the more legitimacy our campaign has. A quick recommendation or nomination, on Inkshares, facebook, twitter, instagram, blade-blasted smoke signals if that’s what it takes, but something-- those are your orders for this week. Do not fail me, Faoii.

      Get out there and show people what w’ere made of. Shields up!

        All right, Faoii! Listen up!

        Apparently communication broke down somewhere. I’ve been pacing these barracks impatiently for a few days now and finally contacted our Inkshares allies about why my soldiers haven’t gotten their weapons (read:refunds) yet. About 45 seconds later everyone got a message that their refund will be processed in 3 to 5 days. So we’re still waiting. 

        That hill is getting harder to take by the day, so when we are finally armed and ready, it’s going to take every single one of us to see the Faoii banner at it’s peak. We’re going to do it. We ARE going to take that hill in under 24 hours and make sure that every single person in this war remembers the day that the Faoii stepped onto the field. We will show them ALL that this project is worth it, and that we’re not giving up until its publication is a reality.

        Don’t forget, faoii-- after we capture the hill we have to HOLD it. That’s a harder thing to do, but not impossible. Share, review,tweet, post, send blade-blasted carrier pigeons if that’s what it takes-- but prove to everyone you know that this is a fight worth joining, and that the people/world of The Last Faoii are worth saving. 

        The battle’s coming, Faoii. Shields up. I want to hear your battle cry.

          In case you were curious about how I picture Faoii-Kaiya. 

          I have other drawings, too. Tell me if any of you are interested and I might or might not share them with you (But remember--I’m a writer, not an artist).

            Well, these first three days on Inkshares have been exciting! Thank you so much to everyone who has already shown their support. I love you dearly! We’ve already gotten 19 pre-orders (Which I think is pretty good for 3 days, right?) But there’s still a long way to go before we get to see The Last Faoii in print. As such, please help get the word out! I’ve posted the first three chapters on inkshares, so let your fantasy-loving friends that they’re welcome to look before making any decisions. I write for enjoyment (my own and others’) and want to keep the experience one of excitement rather than pressure. Just keep being awesome and we’ll do fine.
