The Feast Is Published!
Hi everyone! I just realized I never updated my blog when I published the first short story. Initially, I hoped it would be a trilogy, but because my confidence is fragile in the fiction world, I really wanted to get feedback quickly, so separating it into several short stories worked better for me.
The Feast is just $0.99 on Amazon and will remain that way. I want it to be affordable and allow people to try out the writing style before they invest more.
I was so excited when I got my cover back from my brilliant graphic designer, Rich at QuickSiteStudio.com. The graphic depicts exactly what I wanted it to:
It's a little sinister and sterile. The cutting utensils match the title perfectly.
The editing process was grueling. I kept second guessing myself and worrying the whole way through. But I love the way I'm viewing the characters. Elira (short i sound, not long) is so fascinating to me because she was born into the herd, so she doesn't thirst for freedom like her mother.
It made me think of how sometimes we hear of people who were kidnapped protecting their captors, or at the very least, not fighting back - even though they were once free. Imagine if you'd never been free, but been cared for as far as health, been fed regularly. Why would you feel a desire to go elsewhere?
I'm very proud of the book (short story) and can't wait to finish part 2. It's exciting!
Tiff ;)
