This blog’s been lulling because I’ve been writing like crazy. Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal is culminating all over the place, with scenes coming thick and fast. “Write while the writing’s good!” I always say. Once I catch my breath, I’ll draw winners for the Review Challenge prizes. Honest.

Last Call: Review Challenge

Thank you to everyone who’s supported Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox by purchasing the book … then gone above-and-beyond by leaving a review. In a world where mystic algorithms define success, even a few lines from you would be a huge help.

Tomorrow (Jun 4, 2018, 11:59 p.m. PST) is the last day to take part in the Review Challenge, so if you haven’t yet reviewed Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox … please, do! And if you have reviewed and wish to be entered in the drawing for fabulous prizes, make sure you comment on the Review Challenge post … or drop me a quick email (always.forthright at gmail dot com). I don’t want to miss anyone with all those “sparkling nibs” on the line!

And you have another chance! The deadline for entries in the Review Challenge is fast approaching (6/4).
