I logged in for the first time in 2009 to sign up for FB after hearing I was supposed to have one for college. Turns out, I didn't, but that was my start on the platform. I always kept my main profile small. I think at the height I had 700ish followers, but I trimmed them down over the years, that it hovers around 500 now. For the longest time, FB was the only place I could get regular commissions. It's my second job, and desperately needed in today's economy, and has helped me pay debts down and keep food on the table and allow me to take my kiddo on field trips and school events and even helped with christmas gifts. So even as the META became increasingly bad, and I wanted to leave FB, I couldn't get traction anywhere else. Fastforward, and I've now signed with Hawthorn & Aster, an author services company, which is there to help streamline contracts and bring me clients. They don't take a % at the moment, because they're a young company (two years now!) but have said they may

I thought I posted last month, but either I forgot to click "submit" or I just hallucinated it lol whoops Anyway - here's a quick catch up! 1) Kickstarter OVER funded by a LOT - the goal iwas $550 to offset editing costs, but backers came in droves and blew it out of the water, with a final post-campaign funding of just over $6,000!!! Suffice to say, funding was 100% covered!! Huge THANK YOU!! 2) For anyone who wanted to back Law of the Dragons, book 1 of Echoes of the Past, the preorder is live here (and for anyone new wanting to know more, the synopsis can be found on my website here) 3 ) I want to continue having the first 4 chapters for free for folk to read even once it's live, because I think having a lengthy preview is a good way of deciding if you're really interested or not. So I'm thinking of putting them on Patreon (post-edits) for free, and categorize them so they're easy to find. 4) Once Law of the Dragons is live, I'm considering posting it chapter by chapter as

Already reaching over 300% of its funding goal, Law of the Dragons, a gay fantasy romance (slow burn, one intimate scene, plus mild gore, so 18+ readers) - has 28 days left. I'll be offering stretch goals; already since reaching $1,000 in funding, I'm offering all backers a high res digital copy of this for printing and wallpaper use (big enough for an 8x12 print without losing quality) I'm cooking up some more stretch rewards for $2,000, $3,000, and $5000 respectively. Here is the link, and below the blurb is a link to read the first 4 chapters for free to decide if it's up your alley or not. :> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1231924535/law-of-the-dragons-dragon-shifters-mercenaries-romance Thank you everyone who's followed and supported my art and ideas for this lol it's been almost 4 years since the start, hard to believe it's finally coming together. :'> Lumaris
