Jestivan,

Never in my life have I achieved something on the scale of what I did yesterday.

And it couldn’t have been done without you: the readers, fans, and JestiFANS.

I’m going to thank you in spades. There will be an awesome giveaway opportunity at the end of this email. For now, strap in; I request your undivided attention. It will be WORTH IT!

I’ve achieved #1 Bestseller status on Amazon UK, but that isn’t difficult enough to do for me to make some grand announcement. However, cracking that spot on Amazon (US) is a daunting feat.

And we did it.

We even reached the #2 spot in a few other categories, ranking above the likes of Twilight, Maze Runner, Mortal Instruments, and several other notable novels.

The journey to this point has been exhausting in the most alluring of ways. I’ve learned a lot from many mistakes, making sure I came back stronger, committed to not repeating said errors.

A lot of you have been there with me from the beginning. A lot of you took a chance on The Jestivan back when it was the only book available in the series. Back during the days of the original book cover … More on that later. *wink wink*

I appreciate that.

I’m on my way to making this my career, which has been my ultimate goal. Once that happens, I can churn out books like Ron Weasley does “Bloody Hell’s”. Once again, this is because of you.

As for an update on The Sacrifice (Erafeen, #5), I’m still writing it. I’ve been on vacation in Florida, visiting my girlfriend’s family, but I’m back now. I had fun.

Now it’s back to writing, and now that we’re Amazon Bestsellers (yes, you too!), there’s even more pressure to get this done in a timely manner.

With that said, the fifth Erafeen novel is a doozy. It’s huge, complex, and ties up a LOT of woven threads. One of the BIGGEST TWISTS in the ENTIRE SERIES happens in Book 5. And it will be the longest book in the series, by far. I cannot wait for everyone to read it.

But, of course, that requires me hurrying the hell up.

Anyway, now that all of that is out of the way, I want to make a quick announcement that The Jestivan is, for a brief period, only $0.99. That price point will last through Sunday. Let your friends know that this book you’ve grown to love is at the cheapest price point its been at in over a year.

Get it here.

And oh yea, every Erafeen novel is now available on Kobo, Nook, and iBooks; it is no longer a Kindle exclusive. And The Jestivan is also $0.99 at those stores, too.

GIVEAWAY

I will be doing two giveaways through Facebook, both offering the opportunity to snag a VERY unique item to the Erafeen series.

First up is this baby:

That’s right. The first edition cover of The Jestivan. I think maybe ten to fifteen people own this–and that’s a HUGE maybe. The other cool thing about this cover?

I designed it.

I’m going to sign it and ship it to whoever wins the giveaway.

In order to win this gem, you must join the Facebook group, Erafeen Fans and Readers United. Once you do that, there will be more information in the coming days, which I will post exclusively to that private group.

Winner is chosen on August 5th.

 

Next item:

A giant 24×36″ posterboard of the digitally illustrated cover of Erafeen: Volume 1. In this illustration, you’ll find all ten of the Jestivan and the series’ main antagonist, the Rogue Demon (AKA Toono).

There are only two of these in existence; I own both.

Doesn’t get much rarer than that.

In order to win this, you have to like my Author Profile on Facebook and stay tuned.

Winner is chosen on August 5th.

 

I will be choosing both winners through live video chat, which all of you will be welcome to! I can’t wait! I figured with all that you’ve done for me, as readers and fans, I could do my best to return the favor. Because, ultimately, we achieved this together.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Have an ethical day,

Grand Director Farris
