@StephieFisher just finished reading Shardless and I am in tears. Your book was the most original and entertaining read I have in a while. I can't wait for book two, I need more of Taly and Skye in my life.

Hello everyone and happy Friday!!! 
          
          I just wanted to make a post to say thank you to everyone who has nominated Tempris in the Fiction Awards! <3 <3 <3 You guys are amazing!
          
          Still being a relative newbie to Wattpad,  I've never had a chance to participate in the Fiction Awards (@thefictionawards ). For those of you that don't know, this is an annual event run by your fellow Wattpad users where you can suggest your favorite books, vote for them, and recognize those Wattpad writers you feel deserve recognition. It really is a cool event, and unlike the Wattys, it's completely decided by you, the reader!  
          
          You can find out more here ---> https://www.wattpad.com/story/184629964-the-fiction-awards-2019
          
          The more nominations, the better chance Taly and Skye have to get to the next round, so if any of you would like to add your voice, please click on the link, find Best Fantasy Story and add your nomination to it.
          
          Thanks! <3<3<3

Hello everyone! 
          
          Just wanted to chime in and say that no, I'm not dead... lol. And I have an announcement!
          
          First of all -- I'm going to be publishing Tempris Book 1 on Amazon at the end of this month! 
          
          The final round of editing is almost complete, and I've got some truly amazing cover art that I can't share just yet. But it's happening! It's going to be a real book that I can hold in my hands, and I don't think I would've been able to do this without the wonderful show of support I got from you all here at Wattpad. 
          
          I'll be making some more announcements in the coming days, but if you  enjoyed the story, please consider heading on over to Amazon when the book releases and leaving me a review. I can't tell you how important those first few reviews are for new authors like myself, and I really would love to hear what you think -- good, bad, or anything in between. It all helps make me a better writer at the end of the day. 
          
          In the meantime, if you haven't had a chance to read the story yet or you're still trying to finish it, it will only be available in its entirety up until the release. After that, I'll be taking it down and providing an excerpt of the final version, in all of its edited glory.
          
          And finally -- if you made it this far -- I have an update on book 2! As of today, I'm about 60% of the way through. Like the first book, this second half of the story spiraled out of control, and certain characters simply demanded more screen time than I was originally planning to give them. There's battles and traps and shades (oh my!), and Taly finally gets to be the little bloodthirsty badass she was born to be. In short, it's exciting, and even though it's still in draft, I was thinking about releasing the first few chapters once book 1 got a few reviews under its belt.
          
          What do you guys think?

@sirTruffleheart Thank you! I've been sitting on that art for awhile, so it feels good to finally share it! :D

@ StephieFisher  I've looked up your book on Amazon today and I have to say that the cover looks gorgeous! Apparently, I need to buy it fast because they state that there's only one piece left xD

Release the whole thing, if you please. I’m a binge reader. And I’m so very eager to see where you take us from here.

Shards Love your book, it’s like you wrote with magic!!!! The last chapter gave me some hope, at least Taly and Skye will grow old loll 
          
          Did I miss the part where is the King (Time Queen’s husband)? And does Taly’s father have magic? 

cynnbooks

Oohhh more mystery on the list now, I hope we’ll be seeing the 2nd book soon!  And I just realise that the pink pendant on the book cover is Taly’s necklace, such a good thinking!!!

Correction — *High Lord and Lady of Water and Fire.

Hi there! I’m so glad you enjoyed the story!  And yes, there’s a little hope for Taly and Skye yet. Although, as Taly is going to learn very soon, the future is never certain. 
            
            As for the Shadow King, he’s not the Time Queen’s husband, merely a co- ruler on the Genesis Council. He’s currently in the mortal realm along with the High Lord and Lady of Fire. 
            
            And Taly’s father... well, I can neither confirm nor deny who he may or may not be or what kind of magic he may or may not have.

Hey I was just wondering when your next book will be published or started to be published at least

            As for book 2, while I am hard at work (just passed 150K words this morning), I'm not sure when I'm going to be ready to start posting chapters. At the moment, most of my focus is on polishing up book 1 to publish on Amazon early next year. Book 2 will (hopefully) be coming shortly after.

Also great job on Tempris. I liked how well you did writing the battle scenes and the romance scenes and all those in between equality awesomely (that’s probably not a word )

So, just wanted to get some opinions. Would anyone be interested if I publicly shared the Pinterest page that I cultivated while I was writing the first book? It's just a jumbled mess of art and character inspiration, but I've seen other authors that have done something similar, and I heartily enjoyed it. Just wanted to float that idea and see if that was a thing other people might like.
          
          Also, just a reminder, Tempris is currently in the running for Best Dark Fantasy over at the Cryptic Awards. As far as I know, this is the final round of competition, so if you have the time and the inclination, I would really appreciate it if ya'll could head on over and vote. It's super easy!
          
          Step 1: Either click the link below and go to the final chapter (The Scrutiny) or click here ( https://www.wattpad.com/634925432-the-cryptic-awards-closed-%E2%99%A6-the-scrutiny-%E2%99%A6 )
          Step 2: Scroll on down to The Magician: Best Dark Fantasy.
          Step 3: Leave an inline comment next to Tempris by @StephieFisher. To vote, all you need to do is type a star. And if you're on a desktop, like me, and the keyboard shortcut for the star emoji fails you (like it did for me >_<), just copy and paste a star from another comment. 
          
          Thank you in advance, and I hope you guys have an amazing rest of your week!
