Dear readers,

  Happy New Year, and thank you for reading my story on Royal Road!

  I am thrilled to announce that Aethon Books () will be publishing The Chronicles of Emberstone Farm on Amazon in ebook and audiobook formats. There will be a new (non AI art) cover that's really amazing. I'm also working with their in-house editor to fix all the errors and typos.

  Due to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited's exclusivity requirement, this means I will have to remove most of the Book 1 chapters in two weeks, so please read or reread everything you want to before that time.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  I'm honestly giddy with excitement over this! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will have a successful launch on Amazon, as this will most likely determine whether I can have a real writing career or not.

  Right now, I am focusing on finishing book 3.

  Cheers,

  Lin Meili

  P.S. I just got what I think is COVID. The symptoms weren't too bad, except for the weird thing where I smell smoke all the time.

  P.P.S. Also, I was weak as a newborn foal, and my legs felt like noodles when I tried to walk anywhere.

  P.P.P.S. I did keep most of my sense of taste.

  So how did you spend your holidays? I was in bed since I was ill, but I kept my sense of taste, so I had lots of good food.
