I can hardly believe The Sons Of Echidna was released this time just one year ago! I'm gonna reminisce a little here, but because this isn't a recipe blog I'm gonna give you the goodies first.
Wanna win some awesome prizes? Head over to Instagram here and enter! The winner will receive one book from their Amazon Wishlist, my anniversary edition five layer candle, a one-of-ten photoprint, and a guest role in the next book in the SoE series! All you have to do is like, repost, tag some book friends, and tell me which character you relate to and why, and you're in the draw (Aus and NZ only I'm sorry!).
Cool!
So to celebrate, I've made a whole bunch of limited edition melts/candles and art :3 they're all up on my shop now. Any purchase between now and the 1st of September will also get a free gift! I mean... I always add gifts, but this one will be extra extra special.
Also! I wanted to let you all know that Wobbles the cat is doing really well! He's still not 100% but he's getting there, a little bit each day. We thought we were gonna lose him; the fact that we still have him comes down to exceptional vet care, and frankly speaking we probably would have struggled to pay for it without you guys.
More book news! Book One, The Sons Of Echidna, is getting a rewrite. That's right, a second edition will be hitting the shelves before November this year! I love book one, but looking back... it's pretty rough. Not bad, but rough. So I'm fixing it up and bringing it up to a higher standard, and as a show of my appreciation for my poor early adopters, everyone who purchased SoE will be given a free digital copy of the second edition. Just send proof of purchase and the update is all yours-- and I promise it'll be worth it <3 There's also gonna be a limited edition hardback with a special cover for the mega fans, and I'll be working out some special promo on my Patreon for y'all |D
Now, it's also my tenth wedding anniversary tonight and 17 years together with my wonderful husband/editor. At our wedding, we had a three-layer rainbow cake, and we grabbed a little 8" rainbow cake for tonight, as well as a bottle of bubbles. We figured we'd test our marriage today and spent all afternoon moving furniture, so I think a drink and a slice of cake tonight will be well-earned. The contest winner will be announced on the 1st of September on Instagram, so keep an eye out, and best of luck to you! I truly would not be here like this without your amazing support, and every single day, I'm grateful and humbled.
Nga mihi nui,
Athena
