Jewel and the Mares of Fantasy [A Fantasy Novel]

Author's Note ~ Copyright

[Spoiler Alert]: This is not a romance, although I will call it a love story. Romance typically implies 'making love' or 'kissing' therefore this is not one of those. Love story implies that there are characters who love each other but not a in sleep-together point of view. A father loves his daughter, he should not be sleeping with her. So, this is a love story because he will love her, and she will love him, but even without being blood-related they will love each other as family.

[Spoiler Alert]: Yes, everything below is sort of quoting my first copyright in the OD, but I like it and decided to do it again. You'll survive.

[Spoiler Alert]: This only has twelve chapters (give or take). So, don't be expecting a long story, cause this will only be about twenty thousand words or so.

Now that all of that is over with, you may read below:

Salvf (Hello in Elvish - my version: NOT TOLKIEN'S),

Welcome to the world of Fantasy. It's a happy world, full of mythical creatures that create their own type of fantasy. Speaking of Fantasy, that's where our story is set.

There are a few things that you must read before you can enter this world though.

"Now, why should I read what's below?" You might ask.

I'll tell you. "Because there are horse riding adventures waiting for you beyond this page. Beyond this page are all sorts of creatures you know about, but don't really know about, and everyone wants to read about those. And magic. That's like icing to a delicious cake."

But first I want you to understand just one, little, itty, bitty concept:

I hope you understand that, because I mean every word of it. This is my book that I've worked way too hard on for you to steal it from me. Seriously, if you steal someone else's hard work and claim it as yours, then you are a fat, lazy bum who needs to realize that I'm best friends with dragons and Vin'tery and you better run and hide, because we will hunt you down and toast you and then Nyt will eat you.

On a happier note, that's all I needed you to read and understand. Now I command you to enjoy my book... after one more a little bit bigger note:

[Please Acknowledge I am Talking to Haters and NOT Fans When You Read This]: If you have something to say about my story that you find offending, or that you just don't like, please do not comment about it in the comment section. PM me here on Wattpad or find my email on my profile and contact me there. I ask for criticism, but if you're just going to hate on my story, do not do it where everyone can see. This is both for me and you as the hater. Me because then I'm not dealing with everyone defending my honor/book or other people getting in on how bad this book is. And for you because then you're not dealing with everyone who loves this story telling you how offensive you are being and how harsh your comments are. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with too much of this on any of my books, but it is outrageous how much hate someone can put into a comment. It hurts.

A little side note on that; do not expect me to thank you for your harsh criticism. I will come back just as rough. I will defend what I have written and I do not care how much it might hurt you. Being a bully is not right, but if you try to tear me down, I promise I'll bring you with me.

I hope I haven't discouraged you from reading this book or any of my others, I'm really just trying to protect my rights and deal with haters (a.k.a. people who think destroying other people's work is okay).

I promise to be a normal author and forget to update for weeks on end and then finally remember only to realize that the chapter isn't ready. I promise to finish this book even if it takes four years. I also promise to make you smile, maybe cry, and just plain fall in love with my characters. After all, what kind of author would I be if I didn't make those promises?

Enjoy,

JJ

[Ps]: To my old readers (those that have been with my since the beginning) unlike my other works, I will not be writing any of this in advance, but instead publishing whenever I've completed a chapter. Which means there could be weeks to months between updates and that chapters could be really long or really short. I don't want to be that author, but I feel that a laid-back book is what I need right now. We'll see how it all goes. Have a wonderful day.

[Eh... forgot something (pps)]: You might as well put this in Archive after every time I update, that way you don't have to stare at it and sigh: "When is she going to finish the next chapter?!!!" Yeah, don't do that. You'll give yourself a headache and grow wrinkles.

I think that's all. BYE!!!
