Congratulations Destroyers! 

You made it through Book One!

First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you for every vote, read, and comment. Even if you skimmed because you were bored at work or needed a good distraction from something going on, it means the world to me. Your support means the world to me and I don't know how fast or motivated I would've been without the love and kindness many of you gave me!

Special Shout-Out to my lovely Court of Misfits: SongofLightandShadow, CelticWarriorQueen17, Cross-Warrior, Jagermeanshunter,  and LoneShipSailing. Thank you for following me through the beginning to the bitter end. Also a wonderful and lovely thank you to Wimbug and TeaceFindlay for outstanding friendship and moral support through the beginning, no matter where you are in the story it means the world to me. 

Second! I have a few fun poll questions I thought it would be fun to answer, just to give me a perspective on how you're feeling about the series so far. 

 ~ Who is Your favorite Character? Why?

  ~ What is your favorite scene?

 ~ How do you feel about the cliffhanger? 

Third are some quick, fun stats! Did you know the first half of ISEA is 59,095 words, the second half is 45,688 words, and that makes this story almost the same length as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Divergent, and Throne of Glass? At 104,783 words without the extra chapters, I have a lot of fun knowing that.

Last, but absolutely not least, you want to know when the Sequel is coming right? 

As I do every year, I will be participating in ONC or Wattpad's Open Novella Contest. I need a break from swimming in the deep end of Lindon and Iridian's Messy apocalypse. At the same time, I may or may not be working on a fun stand-alone project that has been beckoning to me for a great many months, waiting patiently for its turn and some attention. 

So where does that leave ISEA? Besides in need of some intense revision, I will be considering posting the sequel sometime in the late, late summer, or early fall. September seems to be a good working date for me. 

I think when this story hits 25K (if it does - if not within a couple of months) I will post the title & cover reveal!

So for now, I just want to say THANK YOU ALL one last time. It's been a wonderful beginning for me and I can't wait to see where we'll go together!
