From Markas to Vlkarr By Michael Guzman
To my beloved grandson Vikarr,
Greetings my boy!
 Though I probably shouldn’t call you that anymore. You’re definitely grown now, though you still have much to learn. But that can be said of anyone of any age really, even an old man like me! Anyways, I hope this message finds you and your friends in good health.Â
Your Grandmother Camille and I just had a wonderful dinner with your parents recently. They send their love as well. Your mother is still one of the best cooks around. It’s a good thing I keep up with my training in my retirement or I’d be in serious trouble!Â
The paternal side of me, of course, is worried for you, knowing the kinds of dangers that lurk in the wider world, but it would be hypocritical of me to hold you back as well. I can only hope that the stories I told you of my adventuring years not only entertained but educated you so you know what kinds of things to expect. And when next we meet, I hope you can entertain me with your own tales!Â
You are more fortunate than most that start this path. You already have such worthy companions you’ve known and trusted for years and that is important. You have to know that they will always have your back and they must trust you to do the same for them and together you will do wonderful things. Also remember, the greatest responsibility of adventuring is that wherever you go, you will change people’s lives, sometimes in very unexpected ways.  And the same people will change yours as well. The greatest personal example from my life, of course, is how your Grandmother Camille and I ended up protecting your father when he was a kid, then becoming a family by adopting him together.Â
I could keep going on all day, but I know you have important stuff to do, so I’ll end this with one last piece of advice. I know that just because of your Aasimar heritage, you’ve no doubt experienced some well-meaning, but very unfair pressure to live up to your Grandmother Hervir’s legacy. Knowing her as I did, I firmly believe that she would want you to be your own person and to take this journey for your own reasons, not anyone else’s. And I completely agree. Don’t let anyone else’s expectations define you, my boy. Let the world judge you on your own merits, not your family’s.Â
Stay strong, stay safe, your family loves you, misses you, and most importantly, are so very proud of you.
Yours truly
Grandpa Markas
Release date is in August. watch here for the preorder link. we should be able to get the link up before the end of June!
We at Fae Corps are happy to announce the addition of a new author to our ranks…Ok well, he has written for our anthologies before. We are about to release the second edition of Mystical Greenwood by Andrew McDowell. We hope to release when he is ready more books by him as well. I will be adding a page for him with his bio and more information about his book. Welcome to the Fae, Andrew!
Watch here to see the new Cover reveal and further information on Mystical Greenwood in the next couple of months. The release is scheduled for the end of August.
We have three different anthologies we are seeking submissions for who have deadlines rapidly approaching. Here are the submission details for all three.
Grandmother’s Wisdom
I am putting together my grandmother’s stories and poetry my boyfriend’s grandmother wrote. But I want it to reflect the wisdom of all grandmothers. So here is my request.
Do you have a story that you remember your grandmother (abuela) telling? Or a bit of poetry they wrote that you would love to see in print? Try submitting it for this anthology. I am busier than I have any reason to expect – so I am setting the deadline for March first with an expected publishing date of the first of June.
I am also accepting art. I only ask that it is from your grandmothers. And that you are able to give consent for me to publish it. This can include pictures of art, recipes written by hand, or any art of the like.
To submit email the creation and a small introduction (preferred with a picture) of your grandma who created it. The address for this is faecorpspublishing@gmail.com
The above image will be the cover. I realize that this is gender-biased. I feel like I have more from the amazing women who I am descended from than I do the men in my family. And since I have been wanting to honor my maternal grandmother… This was born. Maybe I will someday do a call for grandfather lore… But first this.
This is an unpaid anthology, half of the profits will be going to the charity of No Kid Hungry All contributors will receive an ebook copy and the opportunity to buy copies at author pricing.
