I will have a request for you, but first, let me share the results of the Gingerbread House poll. My oldest daughter, who happens to be the only daughter who reads my newsletter, stole the crown from me. Congratz, Grinchy. Down to business. I've been improving my FB ads, and your feedback from the last newsletter helped. In particular, this poll: The Red and Grundle pic was not doing well on FB, so, trusting that you folks know what you like better than FB knows what you like, I created new ad sets. They haven't run long enough for me to have sufficient data, but it looks like there might be a winner amongst them. In particular, this one: So, the request: I want to try adding video testimonials to the mix of ads. I'm looking for a few folks willing to record 10-20s videos recommending either The Guardian League or Mother of Trees. (I don't think ads for Thaumatropic Roots make sense until I've completed the series). For some of you, this is no different from what you do for IG already. I can put your handle in the text if you want, but I can't link it (because the ad will be linking to the amazon book page). But I'll be spending money on the ads, so consider it some low-key free advertising for you (if that floats your boat). Since this is my first venture into video, I don't have any specifications. It's just a clumsy stumbling step forward for me. :) If you're willing to create a video testimonial, just reach out to me through this email. Previous Newsletters

Ten days until the end of Thaumatropic Roots. Ten days until the threads you’ve been following since Mother of Trees pull tight. Since “peace broke out like a plague.” Ten days. That’s all that stands between you and the end. I won’t overtalk this. If you’ve been waiting to see what becomes of Elliah, Hughelas, the dragons, and the fragile cage holding back the Father of Stones… It’s here. Every book has been tightening toward this. Mother of Trees. Bones of Cenaedth. Secrets of Deara. Every...
Elliah was never meant to carry this. She was born without magic in a world built on it.She was told what she could not be. Very few asked what she would become. And yet here we are. If you came to my work through The Guardian League, this is where the deeper current begins—the prison that holds the Father of Stones, the fracture in magic that echoes forward into Red’s world. The modern story stands on what happens here—even if it doesn’t know it yet. And Elliah’s world was not built for...
