Sabbatical

Hey guys. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of disappointing you. I haven't been able to catch up on my writing as I keep hoping, and stressing about posting the promised chapters and not delivering hasn't been helping my already shaky mental health. It's also not fair to you to keep paying for content you aren't receiving. My brain is still struggling to focus since Michael's passing. Therefore, I have decided to pause Patreon and Inkitt subscriptions for at least a month. Don't worry, I won't stop writing, but I need to be able to write without the stress of putting out a chapter. I'll be back when I have at least 10 chapters in the back pocket so that writer's block doesn't affect you when it happens. I'm hoping it will only take a month, but it could be up to two months. When I return, I'll be sending an email to every subscriber letting you know of my return and providing you with a 50% off the first month of subscription to thank you for your patience.

I know I left the stories in a weird place, but I think it's better that you think that Elim and Iris are just basking in the afterglow of their last encounter, than half way through what's coming to them 😅.

I'm so very thankful for all the patience you've shown me thus far, but I want to ensure I'm not taking advantage of it. I hope you understand and continue reading when I come back. I love you all.

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing a little bit of writer's block. I know where the story is going, I just need to figure out the best way to get there. Please hang in there for me!
Thanks!

All tickets were claimed. The winner for the raffle is the member with ticket number 24! Candihb, congratulations! For those who didn’t win, there will be two public raffles in my facebook group tomorrow!

The raffle starts now! Glad over to discord to participate!

I am still in Texas and have completed my second book convention. As I’m still learning how to gage how many books to take with me, I have books left over from the convention that I do not wish to drive with me back to Canada. I am having a discount sale in my facebook group, a raffle here later today and two raffles in my facebook group on Friday. They will be time sensitive, so please keep an eye if you want some books! If you’re not in my facebook group, I recommend you go join it now. It’s Emm’s PaperTaco Club



Here are how things are going to work:


The books I’m selling will be signed, but not personalized. There might be minor scuffles on a corner or two because these books were shipping from amazon to Texas or KY, KY to Texas, then driven to New Orleans, unloaded at the venue and loaded and driven back, then mailed to you. I’ve done my best, but shit happens. No truly damaged book will be sold.

I have a few art prints and stickers, but not many. These will be added inside the book and then the book will be wrapped in waterproof envelope before put in a box for mailing. I WILL NOT KNOW WHICH BOOKS HAVE STICKERS OR ART AFTER THAT, SO IT WILL BE RANDOM IF YOU GET THEM IN ONE BOOK AND NOT ANOTHER OR AT ALL.



On Friday, I will make three posts on facebook and one on discord/patreon/inkitt today.



Purchasing books

The first post will be for purchasing books 1pm EDT/12pm CDT/11am MDT/ 10am PDT. The prices for individual books will be added to the post as well as a price for purchasing a full bundle.
ONCE THE POST GOES LIVE. It will be a first come first serve basis. I will be sorting message by time posted and reach out individually to you. You will place your order, and I will tell you if I have enough books to fulfill your request. If you purchase a bundle, shipping is included in the price. If you purchase individual books, a $5 shipping will be needed. Once I give you a total, you will have 24hours to send payment via PayPal and send me a screenshot of your payment along with your full name and address for shipping. If I haven’t received payment in 24hours, your order will go back into the pool of available books for the next person in line. I only have a few bundles available, so make sure you’re keeping an eye on your messages! You will be able to purchase books until Sunday at 8pm EDT/7pm CDT/6pm MDT/ 5pm PDT or until I run out of books



Raffles


There will be three raffles.

Two will be for people in the facebook group at 2pm EDT/1pm CDT/12pm MDT/ 11am PDT. One will take place in discord/Patreon/Inkitt and is specifically for Patreon and Inkitt members.



For the facebook group Raffles, each ticket will be a $5 donation. There’s no limit to how many tickets you can buy. A minimum of 25 tickets need to be purchased in order for the raffle to take place, up to a maximum of 45.
I will make the post for the raffle and immediately after, you will comment and let me know how many tickets you’d like to purchase for the auction. Once the minimum tickets have been claimed, I will like your post. This will be your cue to pay for the tickets. Once you pay, you will comment PAID under your post. I will check that your payment was made. If I can’t tell if it’s you because your name doesn’t match the name on the payment, I will request proof of payment be sent to me. Once I know the tickets are paid, I will comment and let you know which numbers are yours.
Once all the tickets are paid or 24 hours have passed and at least 25 tickets are purchased, I will record the wheel of names being spun for the numbers and will contact the winner for an address.



The Patreon and Inkitt raffle will take place on discord later today at 2pm EDT/1pm CDT/12pm MDT/ 11am PDT, so if you want to participate, make sure you’ve joined! Each ticket will be $3. A minimum of 25 tickets need to sell, up to a maximum of 45.
If you’re absolutely unable to join discord, you can private message me. You will give me the number of tickets you want. Once you’ve purchased and paid, I will give you your numbers. I will post a screenshot of the winning number on discord, Inkitt and Patreon and will reach out to the winner for an address.


IF you don’t win the raffle today, you’re welcome to join Friday’s raffles or place an order for books.



Please, don’t let me drive with these books with me lol. I don’t to pay tariffs to get them across the border.
