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.
The server was there, refilling it—another cup of ice, the full cup of tea and more honey. I watched as he added spoonful after spoonful just as he had earlier while the server cleared away his empty plate and his discarded glasses. They chatted like they were old friends and once they were gone, I arched a brow. “You sound like you know each other.” He shrugged. “I’ve lived in the area all my life. I know a lot of people.” “Dentists?” I side-eyed the half-empty honey jar. Immediately, blood rushed to my cheeks. “I…wow. I’m so sorry.”
A cute snippet from one of the chapters I'm editing. It made me chuckle.
The edit process is going a little slow, but I hope to be done with the first round in the next couple of weeks. Beta readers are lined up and once they're done, if everything reads well, we'll get the second round done and then it's formatting time.
I appreciate everybody's patience.
Just an FYI
I've got a Kickstarter going on for my urban fantasy series that's written under my J.C. Daniels pseudonym, running through July 12.
Special Edition Urban Fantasy: Magic, Shapeshifters & Swords
Signed, expanded, illustrated urban fantasy with an underdog MC who has to investigate her lover for murder. Foil bookmarks & more. Read More
Secret Tier Access As a follower of a past campaign, you have access to the secret tiers I've added to the Kickstarter. Follow this link to learn more. You can save up to $15 on backer rewards!
For my next trick... Do you like the fae? Shapeshifters? Dragons?
I'm participating in Printopia here on Backerkit. If you follow my Launch Party, you'll have access to some secret rewards, maybe be early launch tiers! This project launches in September and will feature illustrations, the gorgeous art above and an all-new story.
Yes, yes, we're all here for the bear, but...what about sexy shapeshifters and bad-ass women who can swing a sword?I certainly do. My other self, J.C. Daniels, has a new project up and running.
Would you like to join us?
Well, I hadn't planned on going live tonight, but while I was trying to figure something out with secret tiers, I realized I wasn't going to be figure it out unless I went ahead and launched.
So...surprise.
My next Kickstarter is live. This is the second in a series, but the first book is available, too, for those who are new to the series.
There are secret tiers. Shhhh...I'm sharing these with backers of a couple of projects, my newsletter and my patreon and some will be limited...and...uh, I think I forgot to set the limits... damn it. Gotta do that. Gulp.
Anyway! Manic grin.
Here are the links to the secret tiers! The prices are a little cheaper and who doesn't like that?
I've wrapped up writing I Choose the Bear! It took longer than I planned, but the book is also longer than I expected, so...yay??? More story for you guys!
It still needs to be edited which I expect will take a couple of months but I'm hoping to have the ebook ready to send to you guys by September.
Pardon my excitement, but... I'm so close to being done.
I'm at the big reveal where Ivy finds out who she is.
It's intense. A little scary. I hope I get it right.
But...aaaahhh!
Anyway, it looks like I'm on schedule to finish it this month. Then it's time for edits, beta reads, etc. Eeep!
Thank you so much for your patience!
Just a reminder, if you haven't pre-ordered, now is the time. Once I move into formatting, etc, it will be too late to get the book before release and the only way to get the book with the awesome illustrations (and to get the fancy hardcover) is to order thru backerkit or direct from me.
