Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The Kickstarter for the fifth Gryphon Generation Book "Chimera Affliction" just started! I became a huge fan of this series over the last few months and can't recommend it enough! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/944781232/chimera-affliction-book-5-of-the-gryphon-generation
#TheGryphonGeneration #kickstarter

@avis_jay Oh! That one is by Alex, not me =) I was just excited for it. I don't think Alex is on Mastodon? He's Reinbourne most places, though!

Funnily enough, because Alex thanks me in the dedication of the first book, I did actually have someone ask me to sign a copy of The Gryphon Generation once. I did it =) But also gave it to Alex to sign, too!

It was the unrated edition, so I drew little scream gryphons at the start of all the spicy stuff, which he found amusing.

@kvalenagle @avis_jay wait what there is an unrated version of the books ?????? I guess i need to find it and re read all the book aaaaaaaaaaa 
@Nulhomme @kvalenagle Yea, but only for the first book so far. To get it you can order it from the official site and dm rein on blue sky.

@avis_jay @kvalenagle i only see option for softcover and hardcover on the official website but no ebook option :(

I got a hardcover from kickstarter to celebrate the release of the 5 edition but ebook version are easier for me to get to not have to pay for import tax that are very high 😅

@Nulhomme @kvalenagle Maybe write them a dm and ask if there is an option to get an ebook of the "Directors Cut".
@avis_jay @kvalenagle do they use the fedi <-> blusky bridge because i don't use blusky 😅 ?
@avis_jay @kvalenagle (it could be a good way of promoting the kickstarter too would love to get it there since they already offer ebook)

@Nulhomme @avis_jay I don't think they use the bridge, but they are on Telegram, if that helps?

Feels weird being the person who revealed the secret unrated cut of Gryphon Generation to someone =] I'd never seen one before I was asked to sign that one. I was too chicken to actually read the extra chapters.

@kvalenagle @Nulhomme I have the special version and the extra chapters are pretty fun. Like, Yea, it's "smutt", but very well written.
@avis_jay @kvalenagle Unfortunately i don't use telegram too 😅 I will add a comment on the kickstarter maybe that will work and i'll be able to add it to my options :p

@Nulhomme @avis_jay I think Kickstarter lets you private message creators =)

I always back Joshua Essoe's books on editing (he worked on Song of the Summer King, Griffin Ranger, Canadian Werewolf, and a bunch of other books I've read), but I always forget to fill out his backer surveys so he ends up messaging me. So I think it works both ways.

@avis_jay @kvalenagle https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/944781232/chimera-affliction-book-5-of-the-gryphon-generation/comments i did it there as a first attempt to have it added to the kickstarted could convince people to spend a little more on the project 😏
@kvalenagle Seems I got my Gryphon book authors mixed up
@kvalenagle But already got "Gryphon Insurrection Book One" lined up for reading next.
@avis_jay
Yay! I hope you enjoy it =] If you're listening to the audiobook and need me to send you the interior art pieces, let me know. And I should probably find a better way to tag spoilers on the fan art page, but to be safe, I'd wait until you've gotten to the end of book seven before you check, say, the FlamSinger section of the fan art page. (If you care about spoilers.)

@avis_jay
It's okay! I get mixed up with Rein/Alexander Bizzell (Gryphon Generation) and Jess Owen (Song of the Summer King) quite often. Actually, because I haven't done conventions in awhile because of the autoimmune disorder, sometimes people mix me up with my husband, Glenn Birmingham, too.

Maybe next time we're all in the same place, the gryphon authors could take a group photo and label it. I think I'm the tallest girl of the bunch, though.

I'm just happy if people are reading gryphon books by any author.
