Oh wait…I think I’ve heard you mentioned Nahim before. Oh yes…I can totally understand why it feels very special to you! No problem. Don’t feel pressured to reply back/be super active on JWM.

Awesome!
What’s your profile name on JWM? I can’t find you.
I asked Justice about after this month, and he says they’re planning to host JWM every year. But I’m glad you joined up anyway!
Wait, you’re going to college? Woah…what’s the Next C.S.Lewis Foundation course?!

Probably just November. This is the first time they’re doing this, so I’m not 100% what’s happening after November. We’ll see.

Hello everyone!
You may or may not have heard me rave about the MARKED series. It’s a medieval story about a prince who’s caught in a whirl. With the commoners and the nobles both blaming each other, he’s not sure which side is right. I’ll post a video about the series down below.
Now, Given Hoffman (the author) is launching her Kickstarter for Book 3!!!!!!!! I’m quite sure this is going to be the last book in the series.
You can join the campaign! When it launches on September 30th, there will be many ways you can pledge to help Given Hoffman reach her goal. Her goal is to reach $2000 by November 20th so she can publish Book 3. It’s been a rough road for her to complete this last book, so she doesn’t have enough funds to launch her book alone.
There’s not much on the Kickstarter yet, so please click on the “Notify me on launch” button. That way, you’ll get notified when the Kickstarter opens. Given Hoffman is going to have some awesome rewards for backers!
Here’s the link to the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/givenhoffman/the-healers-secret-medieval-action-adventure-novel
And if you can, please share with others!!!! Her books are amazing and have greatly benefited my life both as a Christian and a young writer. I want to give her all the support I can.
Here is some information Given Hoffman shared about what the Kickstarter will look like/how it works:
WHAT TO EXPECT:
How it works, if you wish to participate: On the day the campaign starts (God willing, Sept 30th), you’ll visit the Kickstarter page and decide how you would like to “back” The Healer’s Secret’s campaign.
How do I back the campaign? You back the campaign by selecting a reward you would like to receive for the amount of funding you want to pledge toward this project’s campaign.
What are the rewards? They’re items the project’s creator ( me) has made and listed on Kickstarter for you. I’ve included an image of what this looks like and a list below of some of the rewards. The campaign displays like an online store (pledge amounts are included on each item, and physical items will have shipping added at checkout).
Rewards on this campaign:
Early bird ebook copies of The Healer’s Secret ($7)
Signed paperback copies of The Healer’s Secret, with paper map, and a unique medieval bookmark
Discounted ebooks of all three books in MARKED
Signed paperback copies of all three books
Canvas map of The Three Kingdoms ($10)
Plus, other cool rewards that I’ll reveal on the Kickstarter campaign itself
Additionally: Each backer who pledges funding for a reward, while the campaign is live will get acknowledged in The Healer’s Secret book as a backer.How do I make my pledge? Once you choose what reward you would like to back, you’ll hit the “Pledge $” button, then enter your debit or credit card like you would for any other online purchasing. The difference is that this pledge amount and reward will only be charged and received when/if the project hits its funding goal.
How does the project launch via its funding: Kickstarter uses an “all-or-nothing” funding process. This means the project’s creator sets a funding goal-the amount needed for the project’s completion. (In my case, my funding goal is $2,000.) If the project’s funding goal is reached, the project launches, your pledge is taken, and upon its deliver date you will receive the reward that you backed.
Do I have to make up my mind right away about backing this project?
No, you don’t have to make a pledge right away. But if you want your pledge to count toward the project’s funding goals, you do have to make your pledge while the campaign is still live, in the case of my Kickstarter, the 21 day window between Sept 30th and Nov 20th.
Kickstarter will have a running notification of how many days are left on the campaign. There are technically late pledge options, but these will only be available if the project’s funding goal is reached, so it’s important to back while the campaign is live, otherwise the project may not succeed.
Why you might want to get in early on the rewards:
There will be two special early bird rewards available only for short windows of time at the very beginning of the campaign.
Ebook: Early Bird Special of The Healer’s Secret ($7) will be available for the first 24hrs. (After that it goes up to $10)
Early Special: Signed Paperback, Paper Map, and Medieval Bookmark ($25) will be available exclusively during the first 48hrs.
There is also a limited supply of certain of the rewards, so even though they will technically be available during the whole 21 day campaign, their supply may run out. So you will want to check out the campaign quickly before certain items, especially the one-of-a-kind rewards, are no longer available.
(This is also why you may really want to opt-in to receiving the notifications from the campaign.)
“Do what is right, let the consequences follow.” -Truth and Treason
Well…I love the trope of the older brother protecting his younger siblings. Or even an older sister. There’s also the dynamic of the action sibling and the book sibling…but perhaps that gets used too much.
I also love the dynamic of having a strong sibling and a weak sibling. Or siblings that have a big age gap between them. I’m not sure if you’ve read “Hand on the Bridle”, but in there, they have two brothers who are around 15 to 20 years apart. It added some tension that the younger brother had to work through (they didn’t know each other that well since the other brother had been away from most of the younger brother’s life).
Those are some random ideas. Does this help at all?

I feel like I may have found my shippers for this book. Can you even “ship” those names? What would that even be?
