A SPFBO judge reviewed Amiant Soul as "An epic fantasy without needing to be a trilogy. Every character is superbly written and I was totally invested in every one of them.... I gave this book 5 stars - I loved it to bits and I can see it being a constant reread in the future."
Unfortunately that judge wasn't the judge who had Amiant Soul in their batch, and it's out of the running.
Best of luck to all the SPFBOX books - may they each find their readers, winner or not.

OK, that's a wrap on my #SPFBO #SPFBOX haiku project. I read the opening parts of all 300 entries and composed an inelegant, silly haiku about each of them. Took me a month, about 2 hours/day. I so enjoyed reading from everyone's stories. They're here:

I'm going live on the youtube channel "Bald&Balding" with some fellow "Self Publishing Fantasy Blog-off" authors in about an hour. Replay should be available afterwards too.
Feel free to hop in and watch, or join the live chat, if you'd like to see me trying not to panic on a live stream while answering questions about Changeling! ^_^
