PIGGIES, PARTIES, AND PEBBLES - Oh my! 🐷🎉

Hi friends and happy Friday!

Alas, today is not a happy Friday for me. It is a disgruntled Friday. Because I have been informed by my team that my next AMA (Ask Me Anything) is not with another author, but with myself. And the theme of that AMA?

______________________________________________________________

"Rachel's Most Unhinged Stories"
💀💀💀💀

When I saw this graphic, I promptly fired Bex (for .02 seconds). And then I hired her back because I can't live without her.

But apparently my opinion doesn't matter, because the AMA, I am told, is still happening on February 20th at noon MST. So bring your favorite drink (definitely tequila for me) and come join me on Discord. Because - and the timing of this is JUST LOVELY - AMAs are now open to all. As in, no paywall. As in, there will be even MORE readers to witness my idiocy and debauchery. Topics, I've been told, will cover:

- Climbing Mt Olympus on a whim and getting frostbite in July
-  Pissing off a diamond warIord in Las Vegas
- The time Tom Arnold asked me to flash him
- The time Matt Dinniman and I made a roomful of people scream/cry
- The time I spilled water on a prominent author in front of an audience... and then did it AGAIN in the next panel.
- And many, many more moments of idiocy.

Suffice it to say, this AMA will NOT be recorded. So if you want in on the idiocracy, you have to show up in person. (Ian Edit:  you can submit questions and other story requests here!😎)

And that, my friends, is all I will say about that.

Hey, gang! Bex, Rachel's Community Manager, here! (You'll notice that I am not fired ;) )

This week we've been doing a huge buddy read of Amethysts and Alchemy in the Discord. It's been so much fun chatting about the book. We all 10000% have a shared love for Topie!! If you aren't part of Rachel's community over there you really do need to join! We have such a blast!
If you've already read all or part of A&A and want to join the fun, we'd love to have you! You can find the buddy read here.

Keep your eyes peeled for future buddy reads!!
xoxo,
Bexxy

🔥💎Fire Opals & Family💎🔥

There is SO MUCH news to share here! First of all, FO&F is FINISHED and off to the editor!!! 🥳 It is slotted for release on February 27th! And to help celebrate, the Amethysts and Alchemy ebook will be FREE on the 26th & 27th. So if you haven't read it and need an excuse, there you have it! (There's also an audiobook, narrated by the INCREDIBLE Lia Langola!)

I'm so sorry for the delay on this one (my first ever pushed book deadline 😭) but I can proudly tell you it was all worth it. This is the story I was hoping to write and then some. I can't wait for you all to finally*** read it 🥲

Realm Walkers (Patreon All-Access supporters) get AUTOMATIC inclusion on my ARC team! We will be sending the ARC form next week!

To help celebrate the release, we are hosting a HUGE party in the Renergades! Here to tell you more is my Fabmin Captain, Arin! 😊

Hi Everyone!!!!!

Join us on February 27th to celebrate the release of Fire Opals & Family!!🎉🥳

We are having a HUGE party kicking off at 9:00 am MST!!!! We will be celebrating with fun games and prizes in BOTH Rachel’s Facebook reader group (Rachel's Renergades) AND her Discord Server!!! Every hour will have a new game posted, alternating between the groups!!!

Did I mention PRIZES? 🏆 Watch for upcoming announcements in both groups to learn more!

XOXO,
Arin

Speaking of the Renergades, we're also hosting a Topie Logo Contest!! You can find the original post here, but the gist is:

Artists: submit your images to the group with the hashtag #TopieLove, and also email them to support@rachelrener.com by Monday Feb 16th.

Everyone else: Put a heart reaction ❤️ on all of the submissions you love! (You are welcome to vote more than once!) The images with the most reactions will move on to the next voting round!

Okay, guys, the last thing I'll say about FO&F is that there will be a VERY special announcement about A&A in the back of the new release. So if you want to be among the very first to hear one of the coolest pieces of Renerverse news for the entire year, be sure to nab your copy early!
