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!

You asked for feedback so I hope it is ok to say this. I really enjoyed your story and look forward to reading more. I am a bit, ok a lot, OCD and two things bothered me. I thought that eating human meat caused dementia of some sort. I do not remember why. Will you address that at all? Also you would only write Riley and I if it were the subject
otherwise it should be
Riley and me.
Hi Cat's Creations!
I just addressed the grammar here: http://tiffanydow.blogspot.com/2012/09/grammar-and-scenario-discussion-for.html
Thanks for your feedback on that :)
Regarding dementia: from what I understand it's only if the person is infected with prions. But in the human herd, it's genetically perfected over time (we'll learn more in future books in the series), so the human meat is perfect and free of all disease.
Thanks for your question!

Thanks Tiffany. I just read your post. I think if Elira's grammar had been bad throughout the entire story it would have come across as "her" mistake. I think your plot is interesting and worth reading. I look forward to your next installment.
