Hello dear friend!

Guess what?!! This week Chosen of the Tapestry hit 2,000 downloads/sales within her FIRST YEAR!

Purchases don't indicate how good a book is, so I don't consider this my victory at all. If anything, downloads/sales show how supportive and wonderful THIS COMMUNITY is, and I am just so grateful for every single one of you!
​
Thank you for taking a chance on a little debut author who literally knew nothing about publishing or this online realm of indie authors and amazing bookstagrammers before releasing my first novel last summer. You have all been so loving and so gracious, and I am beyond excited to release Lost King of the Pattern this year, knowing you guys will be here to celebrate with me, cheer me on, and have my back when I do!
​
Fraslningdor was created when I put words on paper, but it becomes REAL when you weave it together within the unique depths of your own imagination. Thank you for sharing this whimsical world of goblins, adventure, and romance with me!
​
XOXO 💚 Laura

In this week's issue of the Goblin Grace Gazette:

• Work in Progress Updates
• LKOTP Hardcover Reveal
• The Weft Cookies from StoryCrumbs
• Signed Bookshop Pre-Orders
• Ebook Pre-Orders

WIP UPDATES: Lost King of the Pattern pre-orders are OPEN!!! But only for you! As one of my VIP Newsletter Goblins, you get early access to all things Fralsningdor Chronicles, which means you also have a much better chance of being one of the first 10 orders and snagging an extra super delicious pre-order treat! See details below. Project Needle is finished, and I honestly won't have many more updates until after Lost King's launch in August. My husband is currently reading his paperback proof copy and loving it. He's a huge fan of my more cozy tales, and I love that about him. The Fralsningdor Chronicles, Book III is taking up approximately 47% of my brain space, and I hope all that thinking proves to have been productive when it comes time to buckle down and draft.

First things first... THE HARDCOVER REVEAL!​
​
I can't open preorders without showing you what the book LOOKS LIKE! Obviously the paperback cover has been out in the wild for some time now, but the hardcover has been my little secret! Today, I'm sharing that secret with you.
​
Behold, dear friend, the hardcover edition of Lost King of the Pattern.

"Wow, that's pretty and all, but how does it look next to Chosen of the Tapestry?"​
​
I'm so glad you asked! Because in my opinion, they're absolutely stunning together. Regardless of which version of Book I you own, Book II will look cozy and gorgeous next to her older sister on your shelf.

Now, to get your hands on this beauty — let's talk pre-orders and goodies!

All Lost King of the Pattern pre-orders (including ebooks) will receive the following:

• Lost King of the Pattern: The Fralsningdor Chronicles, Book II (whichever format you order)
• Fran X Fi'eren Midwinter Ball Character Art Print
• The Weft's Toffee Recipe Card
• "Only Cried a Little" Certificate of Achievement
• The Weaver Wefts/Loom's Hymn Double Sided Bookmark
• Berry Weather Detector Sticker
• The Foe is Me Battle Magic Sticker

But wait, there's more...

The FIRST TEN signed bookshop pre-orders will also get a complimentary 1/2 pint Weft-themed goblin green lavender toffee & walnut chocolate chip cookie mix from StoryCrumbs! Amanda created this custom cookie flavor specifically for The Fralsningdor Chronicles, and I am beyond delighted with how it turned out. The Weft cookies are warm, soft, earthy, nostalgic, sweet, and unexpected... just like old Weft Mach'larah himself!

To pre-order a signed hardcover or paperback (and possibly qualify for a cookie mix IF YOU HURRY), simply click the link below and place your order. I'll ship your book and goodies on or before August 9th when Lost King of the Pattern releases. (US addresses only. I'm so sorry! International readers, please see ebook pre-order details.) Please Note: this link is ONLY for newsletter subscribers! You have early access, which gives you a way better chance of qualifying for a cookie mix! Please don't share exclusive pre-order link; it's only for you.

Ebook/international readers, I have NOT forgotten you! I actually prefer reading on my Kindle, so I wanted to make sure my fellow ebook goblins have access to pre-order goodies as well. Ebook orders do not qualify for a StoryCrumbs cookie mix, but you will get all the other goodies, even if you live internationally! Ebook preorders will require two steps.
