The Giveaway for Book 1 of the Dreamweaver Chronicles, Sylvan Elf Tears, is just over three hours from being finished. Had such a great amount of interest this time and hope to do another giveaway in the future again - so grateful to all those who showed interest.

Ok, so it seems that we must say goodbye to Dreamweaver Chronicles. There is practically no interest in the story from readers (I appreciate those whom have supported me and thank you from the bottom of my heart) and I just don't have the money to spend to publish the next two. I had a deal with the publishing house that if I sold 1,000 copies that they would then be bound to publish all the other books I write at no extra cost - sounded kinda good since my family (I have a huge extended family) and friends told me that they would most definitely buy and distribute, tell friends, etc. etc.
But in this process, I have learnt A LOT. Not one of my friends or family (bar my sister and mom) bought a copy and rather asked me to bring them one free for their libraries when I visited. All promises and interest were lost as soon as it was actually published. The same with friends. It was then that I met amazing people online that were willing to support me - to those, my most humble and grateful thanks - you showed me more support than my friends and most of my family. There are more books to come, but I don't think the indie way is good for me, praying for an agent this time :-).
