My debut novel, The Future of Our Past is on it's way to being published! It's the first of a trilogy, and will be closely followed by Don't Forget to Remember Me and A Love Like This. I'm very happy and excited to finally be able to give this story back to my readers and to hopefully, garnish some new ones along the way!
To those of you who have been with me on this journey, I am so grateful for all of your support. I decided to self-publish the book after three editors asked for different revisions. What one loved about the story, another wanted revised.
So...I did what I've always done; I leaned on you. I asked some of you and I went back to the reviews and read them. The conclusion I came to was that reading is as subjective for editors and agents as it is for readers, and though I didn't take their comments lightly, I was left confused with where to take the story. So...I chose to put my faith in all of you and you told me said to leave it as it was originally written.
I've made so many friends among my readers that I know will last a lifetime. I'm fueled by all of you. Your support and encouragement; your excitement about each new thing I've written, lifts me up and gives me hope that I really am an author. I have been overwhelmed with the amount of support and love this story has received. I poured my whole heart into it, and I hope it shows.
The book(s) will be available for pre-order through a funding project on Kickstarter.com, for a period of 30 days. Kickstarter is a platform for artists, authors, filmmakers and musicians to launch careers, new projects and gain exposure. A pledge toward the project is connected to a reward that you will receive in return, to include the ebooks, print books, merchandise, etc...There is no risk because if the project is not fully funded, pledges will not be accepted. You can pledge here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1312371723/the-remembrance-trilogy-book-1-release
Special thanks to Ali, Kathryn, Sally & Liz my editors, Jena, who helps me with blog design and posting to my blogs and to Samantha who's amazing artistic mind comes up with my banners and cover ideas. All of these people are volunteers who believed in me and my writing enough to donate their time and effort. It's more than I can ever ask for and I don't know how I can ever repay you. I love each of you and hope one day to be able to meet you in person.
And to you, the readers; I am ever indebted to you for reading, reviewing and recommending my work to others. Without you, the dream could never become reality. I will endeavor to never disappoint you and to keep giving you more and look forward to hearing from all of you. You have my heart.
Keep checking back for an exact release date, but I expect it sometime in March of this year. Yippee! :-)
Love and Peace,
As Always...Kahlen
