Final days to update your pledges/make any changes
FINISH YOUR SURVEYS AND MAKE ANY FINAL CHANGES TO YOUR ORDERS.
I''ll be closing things out and charges cards probably Tuesday.
FINAL CALL FOR PRE-ORDERING THE BO...
And it's a game where nobody loses...unless you just don't play.
There will be a series of questions and as long as you participate in 80% of the questions, you'll get a prize, a little symbol of Ivy's heritage, to be mailed out with your rewards when it's time.
The questions will be posted in the polls...but be warned. As the poll progressed, people might figure out Ivy's secret.
If you don't want to have the secret spoiled...well, I guess you shouldn't play. However, there are layers to her secrets. Like ogres and onions. Cakes and parfaits. Yes, that's a Shrek reference. And some of that secret, you will never guess without reading the story.
Now...pick your team!
FYI, team names don't indicate *anything* at this point other than that's just the name you like, although, you will see this list again.
Patience is a virtue. Sadly, it's not one of mine. I need to practice it more and be kind to myself, which I kind of suck at. However, I'm in the middle of an ongoing family crisis. I can't go into details and even if I could, I wouldn't. The issues, though, are exacerbating my own mental health issues and that's affecting my work output.
I've struggled with depression for years and typically, I just kick it in the face and go on about my day but right now, I'm having more trouble than usual. I will get through it, however, it's going to take more time than usual. It's affecting my work output which means the story isn't moving as quickly as I'd hoped.
It is moving and when I can find the motivation to write, I find a great deal of solace in the developing relationship between Ivy and Jonas. However, I am anticipating a couple of months delay in finishing the story.
I know this isn't what anything wants to hear, but I have to be realistic. I could push myself to finish and get done by the end of March, but that would result in a book of poor quality and I don't think anybody wants that. I definitely don't.
Just an update on where we stand with the book. It's still in progress.
I'd hope to be done writing by the end of January but it might take through February.
Hopefully it won't be any longer, but I lost about three weeks or so of writing time in December due to health issues. I started having the absolute worst vertigo ever and it still hasn't completely subsided, although I started PT a couple of weeks ago and that's helped a lot.
I'm back in a more routine writing schedule, but I am behind. I apologize for the delay but hopefully it will all be worth it when you get the book. I'll post an excerpt soon!
The artist I commissioned has done a number of maps although I think I'm the first author they worked for who requested one for a contemporary paranormal romance world.
Metrius worked from a map I basically tossed together from a screenshot on google maps so I could keep track of locales.
I really love the way it came together. Just as a note, this is set in Maine around Moosehead Lake. Some of the towns, like Greenville, are real, but others, I'm making up for the story.
The map, like the illustrations, will be in the Backer-only versions, although I will probably have hardbacks that I'll keep on hand after distribution to sell at events.
