NaNoWriMo, Preorders, and A Good Cause

You may remember me announcing  The Belgrave Legacy 's sequel,  Unmoored . I outlined it during October (#NaNoPrep & #Preptober), and am starting to draft it in earnest for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).Title: Short Story Collection
Series: The Belgrave Legacy, 0.5
Author: Zara Hoffman
Genre: Upper YA Paranormal Romance
Publisher: ZH Press

Goodreads Preorder3 witches. 3 stories.

Meet the original Belgrave matriarch and see her do all she can to protect her family in Evelyn's Enchantment.

Meet Fawn and Alec's grandmother as she makes a difficult decision to give up the love her life to save her unborn daughter in Cassandra's Choice.

Meet Stella Belgrave, Fawn and Alec's mom, and learn about her own love story in Stella's Soulmate.

The Short Story Collection has three young adult paranormal short stories featuring magic and three powerful Belgrave witches before Fawn was called on to fulfill her destiny. These stories can be read as prequels, but are not necessary to understand the plot of The Belgrave Legacy .In addition to all of that, author Susan Dennard and Kat Braver created The Mighty Pens (#TheMightyPens), a fundraiser for NaNoWriMo participants to raise money for the Malala Fund. Below is my message from my personal fundraising page. Please donate if you can. It goes to support girls' education, something in which I wholeheartedly believe. The fundraiser will run from today (November 1) to November 30.

I've been a feminist for as long as I can remember. Remember, feminism=gender equality, not man-hating (that's misandry).

My internship last summer with Seneca Women (founded by Kim K Azzarelli and Melanie Verveer—google them, they're freaking awesome), educated me so much on current feminist developments. My Women's Studies class last semester focused mostly on the past, but both largely agreed on one point: the future is female.

We need to invest in women and girls. And girls' education is the answer to some of the world's most pressing problems — war, economic instability, climate change and health crises. Yet more than 130 million girls around the world are unable to go to school.

As Seneca Women regularly points out: if you're not investing in half of your population, everyone is being held back.

That's why I started a fundraiser for Malala Fund, the amazing organisation founded by education activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. They believe in a world where every girl can learn for 12 years and lead without fear — and I agree!

If you do, too, you can support their work by making a donation to my page. The process is fast, easy, and secure — and best of all, it supports the a great cause.
