Cord lifted a brow, taken aback. "I am?"
"Yes, you are, standing suddenly in that opening without even so much as a knock on the door or a sound of your boot. And of course, with you...
Yes! I'm back my dearest readers and I am ready to announce something spectacular for you!
But first, let me give you the warmest, electronic hug I could make! Damn it, it's been awhile! I miss you guys so much!

I hope you're having a nice day (**or night**) wherever you are in the world, and I hope what I'm about to say is going to make it better.
Here it goes:
I'M GETTING PUBLISHED!
Yes, finally!
I know; I can't believe it either. It feels like the biggest plot twist of my life! And I would like to shout out a big THANK YOU to all of you for making this possible!
Thank you for joining me on the rollercoaster/feels ride that is SANCTUM. When I created Cirrus and Aurora's story, I never expected it to receive so much positive reception. I feel truly blessed.
Writing is my addiction. You guys are my inspiration. My fuel. I'm so grateful that I have friends like you with whom I can share my stories with.
As a token of my gratitude—and because you guys are the best and, therefore, deserve the best—I will be giving away never-before-seen content!
You get a bonus chapter! Yes! Everybody gets a bonus chapter! I remember many of you wanted to know more about Cirrus before the events of Sanctum and so here it is now! I will release more information about this soon, so stay tuned!

The book is going to be published on October 29, 2019 2PM EST. I'm still here on Wattpad, but for copyright reasons, my publisher asked me to take down the last few chapters before publishing.
They are also setting up a professional website for me. (**I'm really feeling legit writer vibes, you guys!**) On this site, you can participate in a book cover contest for SANCTUM. You can create and submit the cover you've always wanted and imagined for the story. And who knows? Maybe you'll be the lucky one to have his/her name in print on the book itself and on its cover!
You? A book cover artist? Imagine that!
The following are the things you need to know before joining the contest:
• Send the covers to my agent at ftwagent@gmail.com on or before October 14, 2019. If you could give me a copy of it too, I'd be more than grateful. My email is jfveracruz@yahoo.com.
• Know that if we choose your cover, you will get credit on the physical cover and inside the book. If you're an aspiring graphic artist, this can be a good addition to your portfolio and might bring you future work from us and other book publishers.
• If your cover wins, you will have to fill out a form that lets us have the cover.
• You cannot use any copyrighted images. You can use royalty-free images.
• If your cover wins, we will do everything we can to use it. However, you need to know that there can be odd reasons why we might not be able to. For example, we might not be able to use the Photoshop file because of an error or we might find a copyrighted image in the cover design.
The cover must meet the following requirements:
• High-res, in JPG and PSD (Photoshop) format so that we can use it for the paperback version of the book
• 5.5 in x 8.5 in and 300 DPI (pixels per inch)
• Must have the book title "Sanctum" and the author's name "JMFELIC"
Some tips:
• The cover has to look good in Amazon thumbnail size. Attract possible readers; make them want to click on it.
• The text needs to be readable.
• Use only one font.
By the way, this is not mandatory. I'm only giving you guys the chance to get involved in the book launch because I couldn't have gotten here without you. I can't thank you all enough!
Please stay tuned for more updates. I'll see you in the next post!
