Hi there, thank you so much for stopping by and checking out The Carnelian Way. This is the first draft of a fantasy story that has been floating around in my head for a few years and is slowly coming into focus—as are the characters, cultures and magical system of this world.

Being the first draft, there will be typos, grammar errors, character inconsistencies and plot-holes galore as I wrote it racing to get it finished in time for the Wattys (2020 *sigh*). If you notice any such issues and happen to be the type of person who gets the urge to point them out—please do! I appreciate all constructive feedback and I will take each and every bit of it on board when I swing back around to do my next draft (I'm taking a brief update hiatus as I draft another story to give myself some perspective with this one). I also love comments that contain gifs and acronyms.  And when people hit that star, I get a surge of dopamine—which is extra appreciated in these crazy times😻🤩 

If you vote, comment or add this book to your library, I'll likely thank you on your wall (unless I hit my unsolicited contact limit). But don't worry—I won't bother you beyond that. 

I also love silent readers. Though I don't know who you are, know that you are appreciated. 

Many thanks, Jas (writing as Helena)
