Hi Friends!!! 

If you haven't met me in the comments, I'm Eliana Hale or @eliana_elf. Thank you so much for finishing my book. Give yourself a shoutout in the comments, especially if you hung around to read this note from the author. 

I wrote this book on a whim because unemployment is really boring. I picked up a prompt from the Open Novella Contest and dusted off a really old idea that I shelved almost ten years ago. It ended up being drastically different, and I really think this story pushed me out of my comfort zone because romance isn't usually my primary subject. 

I certainly wasn't expecting this book to explode in the way it did. I've made so many new friends, and I even was named a winner of the first round of  ONC. Unfortunately, I didn't qualify for the second round, which allowed me to extend this book without a word limit, which I think really helped it thrive. 

I've had a few inquiries about sequels, and that wasn't ever really a plan for The Cursed Wish. It exploded past the novella mark the moment I stopped trying to stick to a strict outline. The best way to support me if you're craving more Cursed Wish is to check out The Half-Giant's Guide To Seeing the Future. It's about a tall girl who discovers she's a half-giant princess, and she gets caught between two feuding giant factions. It's got a fun romance subplot, magical creatures, cool powers, and, of course, giants. 

Shout out to all my friends and everyone who's supported me through this crazy project. It's always so surreal when I finish a project because writing a book is a lot of work. This one will still need maintenance and maybe some Avangelique POV chapters to improve it. Let me know if you have any ideas or critiques. I work as a copyeditor, so you can't hurt my feelings. 

Until Next Time!!
