I think back to the last year before I published Book-1 of Kovenlore Chronicles and how time seemed to stand still, and then, suddenly, it was the day it released.

Since then, it seems as though time is moving ever faster, or is that me aging? Both.

I just know that it seems like yesterday when I published the first book and soon I’ll pass the midpoint. Time is strange.

Be everwell.

$On the right is the book’s cover, the negative image a golden, hand drawn map showing mountains and rivers. On top of that is the title, Trust in the Forgotten, written in a stylish text that’s turquoise with black outlining. Between the first three words and the last below them are eyes that are the same color. Below that, in the same font and color, but without shadowing, it reads Book 1 of the Kovenlore Chronicles. Near the bottom, and written in a more plain text, the color a dark yellow with a black outline, is the author’s name, Christina Anne Hawthorne. The left, beside the cover, is the following text: On the world of Ontyre… Riparia Dellbane, a reclusive Keeper courier with a fractured past, blends into Carrdia’s dystopian landscape, yet dreams of a better future. It’s about vision. Then, over one grim night, routine becomes ruin as opposing fractions seek to exploit or capture her. To survive, she must discover why. She must also discover why the handsome seer reawakening her heart is aiding her. Is he leading her to safety or to those wanting her life? Is she brave enough to untangle the conspiracy wanting to consume, not just her, but an entire nation? As a child, tragedy stole her trust. Now, her heart is begging her to trust again.$
