Vesper Rowan and the Shadow Dragon

Hi Friend â€”


After you've recommended for your friend to go to www.youwhobooks.com and they sign up to read along, they will receive the first two chapters right away, just like you did. 😜


What about Chapter 3? Chapter 4? The rest??


Now I've included the link to the newsletter archives in that email.


This means, reader friends signing up now can get caught up to where you are in the story, without waiting for the weekly emails! Yeah!


If you signed up before I figured this out, make sure you check out the archive to access Chapters 3 and up (I messed up the link in the last newsletter 🙄.)



This special link is for those who have signed up—if you want to invite your friend, send them to www.youwhobooks.com to sign up, and they will automatically receive the first two chapters.


📖 Here's another entry from my Etymology of Terms & Names which I think you'll find interesting:

Noominia - the name of the fairy world that Vesper's family comes from; Noominia was derived from the english word 'numinous,' meaning ‘a spiritual force or influence, supernatural, mysterious, holy, spiritual.'


More:

1. the beginning spells ‘moon’ backwards, a reference to the fairy moon (see 'fairy moon')—an important aspect of Noominian life, a part of the celebration of the unicorn festival on The Day That Is Night;


 2. a nod to Tove Jansson's Moomin Valley stories, the name of the home of Moomintroll. Tove was a swedish Finn, and several place names, character names and elements of Noominia are influenced by the Finnish language and culture.


3. Unrelated: in Finnish 'nomini' means 'my name;' in Arabic 'noom' means sleep, and 'noomini' means 'I sleep;' in hindi 'noomini' means 'nominee.'

All the best,

David
