Quarterly Goals: Kickstarter Campaign!

My Kickstarter is LIVE!

It's the 5th Wednesday of the month, which I have set aside for goals I want to achieve in the upcoming months.
As you can see above, I've launched a Kickstarter to commission an artist to create the cover art for my YA Fantasy Fractured Princess. Self-publishing was an idea I've had and been encouraged to do for years, but I at least wanted to try to get into the traditional publishing world. Query rejections were as far as I've gotten, so as I've said before, I'm taking control back into my hands.
There is more information below if you'd like to contribute to the art. The campaign will be live for 45 days, so you have time to consider if you can't contribute right away.
Thank you in advance!

Monthly Review: March 2019

It is already the end of March. I can't believe it.

This month has been exhausting, to be honest. My mom's been sick, so I've spent most of March visiting her in the hospital and haven't gotten much time to do anything else. She's much better now, so we're continuing to pray for the best. I got sick last week (this season has just been germy for just about everyone I know), so I'm still getting over that. Of course, we're leaving cold/flu season and sliding straight into allergy season, so send help.

Of course, I also completed my Kickstarter this month, so now I'm just waiting for the funds to come in. I can't wait to get the ball rolling with making rewards for my backers and getting the cover art done, and then getting Fractured Princess published. This has been a long journey, and I know it's only the beginning.

I started working on a website. I'll see how that turns out. Of course, this will remain my primary source of contact for …

Wednesday Words: Manga Review - Adorned by Chi

1. I need coffee.
2. I knew I should've scheduled this post yesterday, but here we are.

The 2nd Wednesday of the month is typically set aside for what I am reading. I am still in NK Jemisin's short story collection, but I did pause long enough to read the manga I will be talking about today! Jacque Aye's brain child: Adorned by Chi.

When an ancient apocalyptic beast is awakened and threatens humanity, five Nigerian students must embrace their magic, put their differences aside, and band together to defeat him!

Adorned by Chi is an experience! There is a website with clothes, jewelry, accessories, and then you have this manga. First presented to us chapter by chapter, you are introduced to 5 Nigerian students at Peace University who are sought out by little familiars that help them tap into their magical powers! So far, this doesn't happen unless they are attacked by evil mmanwu, spirits that usually aren't evil as far as I'm aware, but because of some dark force…
