Hi ,
Spring has officially arrived! Around here, the weather is (finally) warming up, trees are waking up... and my budget for tissues is also going up. 🤧 As much as I enjoy the change, it's never been something my body gets along with. I'd almost appreciate a Monty Python-esque leap where winter gave spring a miss and went straight into summer. Except there's one very exciting thing on the horizon this year...
TWO weeks until it all begins!
The Kickstarter campaign for Awakening, book one of The Oathsworn Chronicles, launches April 8th! I've been working like mad to button down every loose end and put on the finishing touches, and I can hardly wait to share it out.
There are tons of backer-exclusive perks you can grab by being an early supporter of the series, things like:
- Your name in the acknowledgments!
- Early access before retailers
- Signed special editions
- Bonus side stories and content
- and more!
If any of that piques your interest, I hope you'll consider being among the first to join Micah's quest to uncover forgotten secrets, battle deadly mages, and stop a world-consuming curse.

And if you missed it, as a newsletter subscriber, you can still get the exclusive sneak peek at the story below. Check out the start of Awakening for yourself before anyone else as my way of saying thanks for being here! ☺️
Want more? Backing Awakening's campaign guarantees your spot among the first of its readers, but what even is Kickstarter and how does it work?
Kickstarter 101
Kickstarter as a crowdfunding platform is different in that every supporter gets something in return. Think of it almost like a pre-order. Each project aims to raise a specific goal, but if it doesn't, you aren't charged and nothing happens (other than a sad author). Projects that do fund mean bringing something truly unique into the world, and sharing it with those who believed in it enough to back it. Backing any Kickstarter follows essentially the same flow as this nifty infographic:
What I love about Kickstarter is that it turns the creative process into a group effort, making YOU a part of bringing this story to life. It means together we're able to create more than just another book on a big retailer site, but a story with its own special features that no one else will get again.
So if you want to be a part of bringing Awakening into the world and snag those exclusive extras, don't get forget to set up a Kickstarter account and get ready for April 8th when it all begins! 🤗 And if you have any questions, let me know! I'd love to hear from you.
Author Spotlight: E. A. Hendryx
If you're already on Kickstarter, don't miss the chance to back Rising from the Galaxy, the final book in E. A. Hendryx's YA space trilogy. Think Avengers End Game meets Gladiator in this epic, no spice romantic space opera. You can grab the entire completed series, along with all the amazing bonuses she's got lined up. But it ends April 4th, so don't forget to check it out soon!
Find your next freebie!
If you're looking for free reads in the month of March, there's a wide selection of stories to pick from in this one. I'll probably be adding a few myself!
Several books in this giveaway grabbed my attention, and there are lots of new authors (to me, at least). You never know which story might be your next gem. ☺️
I hope you have a great week ahead. And if your weather is warming up, find some time to get outside and enjoy it! (And don't forget the tissues. 😉)
Happy reading!
