Welcome Deedra! We are so excited to have you working with us!

So we have been doing a spotlight for each of the contributors, but this one felt special. Both of these are descended from Patricia Harris.
Nicholas is a family man, a mechanic, and a volunteer firefighter. So far the poem included is the only one he has written.
Nk is an emerging poet. He is a leader and quite an energetic writer.
Both men are into gaming.
We, at Fae Corps are so pleased to be able to include the writing of both of these young men and the poet Patricia Harris in this volume.
Hey all, Cyndi here with some awesome news! With the new year starting, Patti and I have put our heads together and decided to expand Fae Corps. We will no longer be Fae Corps Publishing but Fae Corps Inc! We will have two ‘arms’ of the company – Fae Corps Publishing, which will stay right here were we’ve been, AND Fae Corps Studios, which is where we will have a separate website.
FCP will continue with publishing and showcasing authors and aritsts. FCS will be where Patti and I showcase and sell our various arts and crafts. Once we have that set up and ready to go, we will post the link, but it will take a while as we have the amazing upcoming release party and release day of Faery Footprints!
SO! Make sure you are following this blog so you can keep up to date with all the…

Hello again. Well it’s 2020…and all sorts of jokes can be made there. For me though the first of a new decade, while life changing, doesn’t change my routine much. I submitted some poems to Indie Blue Publishing’s call that I shared yesterday. I have been accepted by the coffee house writers anthology. Serena has a story in for Fae Corps Publishing’s upcoming Light Fae Anthology “Through The Sunshine”. (The deadline to which is the last day of this month.) Fae Corps anthology, Faery Footprints, is due to publish on the 6th. There is a Facebook event for it this weekend.
I have started to build a habit of drawing every day. I have been posting the results to the Myne Drawings photo album on my Facebook page. It’s a public album that you can look at if you are feeling like it. I am hoping that this helps me to improve. Talent is something that you are born with. I have talent for poetry. It comes naturally. My brother got the talent for drawing. It is natural for him. Skill requires work. It requires practice. I am developing my ability. What are you trying to get skill at, and what do you have talent in?
Look for release announcements for Dylan and the Pet Zombie & Beauty’s Tears within January. I am thinking of maybe doing a small series of Dylan stories. I am so in love with the illustrations done by Shannon.
Dylan is such an active young man… The only problem is… The apocalypse has hit. Zombies walk, and he is not able to be out to play like he used to.
It’s a kid’s book, and a really cute one. Cyndi is currently working with Shannon to redo her kid’s book Kiko and the bananas. Due to contractual issues she had to unpublish that one. She is going to release it through Fae Corps Publishing once the new illustration is done.
My word for 2020 is change… But that doesn’t mean that I have to change everything. Marie Kondo has a good idea, at least in a way. You should keep what makes you happy, what sparks Joy. Change is a necessary thing. Stagnation comes from a lack of change. I am not one to allow myself to stagnation. So I am working on changing habits, self recriminations, my inner voice. Things like that.
What are you working on this year?
