The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Hi my friends :)  I'm finally finished with book 1 and now I'm working on book 2....of the Awakening series! 
This one will center mainly on her son Kyir, I think, and I'd love any ideas on how to flesh out my world, give the dialogue more, uh, realism? and stuff. 
Thanks again for being such awesome folks and hanging around. 

Side note for funsies; Kyir's name is loosely based on my own daughter's name, and I use the name Harmony basically everywhere online as my own personal "profile name". Wish I looked like her though! 😂🤣

OKAAAY!! Keyboard was having a seizure, was starting to seriously consider Sny's computer solution (cussing and pointy sticks) 
You can find book 1 in paperback or hardback, on Barnes & Noble . com under my name (author search). 
Oh....and my name is Helena Marfell 😅 Knowing that would probably help, too, huh.

Snypiuer hands Harmony a pointy stick and sings the Ramones "Beat on the Brat".

When you find it at B&N, the books' cover looks SURPRISINGLY like the Pens' present background - weird, huh?

One question:

Will we be getting previews of your second book!?

Any plans for book signings?

If yes, in-person or virtual?

If no, will/are signed copies available/obtainable?

Does Snypiuer understand the concept of "ONE" question?

If yes . . . does he . . . REALLY!?🤔

Still loving that background!! 
And yes, I'm hoping to post snippets and scraps of new book here (hopefully without spoiling the 1st book TOO much) and add some cool new characters as well. Like Whittle, who definitely features somewhere while they're in the deep desert... she strikes me as one who might need a story of her own, too. She's pretty cool, in a totally-a-Dune-reference way. ;)

First book show is (so far) planned in September, definitely in person, when I'll hopefully have some copies to sell at my local book club fair...willl update later on time/place since I don't have alllllll the details yet. I don't have funds for renting tables at bigger shows :P Sighed copies absolutely available, orrr you can always buy one online (those will be cheaper) and have me sign it there. And if you wear a crowned squirrel or lizard somewhere on your clothes, I might just recognize you, too. 🤣

Coolness. since I'm not in IL., chances of recognizing me - slim!

Anyways, let me know when you have definite schedules, and I'll send a bulk mail to let everyone know so those in that vicinity can have a heads up. If you have a virtual signing, at some point, I can send one for that also.

Now, do you have an idea as to how many books will make up the Awakening series? Are you planning on an open-ended universe or a finite series?

Finally, it won't be soon, but I do plan on buying several (not a lot, a few) and then harassing you for an address so I can send them to you to sign them. One for me and a couple, or so, to give away - I plan on using them to TRY to get more participation.😉

At least 2 at this point, possibly 3. I maay use this world to do stories of other characters, instead of the same family always? At this point I only have the 2nd one sorta-kinda-plotted out, so it's nothing finite yet 😂 
Thank you so much for your interest--and I'd love to sign a book or a few, for you. And anyone else on here who wants to identify. This site is still the ORIGINAL place this story came from!
