General
How can I keep up to date with your work?
The best way to keep up to date is to sign up for Tempest's newsletter, The Realm.
What is your stance on AI?
Tempest is absolutely disgusted by generative AI, and refuses to use it.
Tempest writes her own books, hires human editing professionals, uses non-AI stock images and graphics, and commissions human artists.
When hiring or commissioning other people and businesses, great care is taken to determine that no AI is or will be used.
To the best of her knowledge, no AI is used in any part of Tempest Reign's business.
Can you be included in Own Voices lists?
Yes! Tempest can be included in the following Own Voices representations:
- Neurodivergent
- Anxiety
- Bisexual
I've found an error in your book. What do I do?
Our sincere apologies! While every effort is made to ensure Tempest's books are free of errors such as typos or formatting issues, sometimes these persist, no matter how many editing rounds they've been through.
Please also note that while some words may seem like a mistake, Tempest sometimes uses fantastical spellings of common words, as her books are set in a fantasy world.
If you find an error (and don't think it's a Tempest-ism), please let us know via this form, so it can be fixed.
Books, Series, & Standalones
Where can I order ebooks?
Tempest's ebooks are available on Amazon. They can be borrowed for free as part of a Kindle Unlimited subscription, or purchased.
Some ebooks may be available directly from Tempest's Bookshop, either as pre-orders, or as part of an exclusive drop.
Where can I order physical books?
You can purchase physical books from Tempest's Bookshop, online book retailers, and book shops.
If a bookshop doesn't have a title in stock, you can request they order it in for you. All you need is the book title, author name, and ISBN (if possible).
What series are there?
Currently, Tempest is working on the FaeBound Fate series.
This also included novellas which are set in the same world, which can be read as complete standalones, or as part of the series.
What standalones are there?
Currently, the only true standalone is Ice & Ash. More will be coming soon.
Where can I find content/ trigger warnings for your books?
You can find the content information for each book on the individual book page.

Free Books
Do you have any free books?
Yes! The best way to get free books is to sign up for Tempest's newsletter, as she often shares them there.
Will my library have your books?
It's possible! But if they don't, you can request that they purchase them. Most libraries have an online request form, or you can request them at the service desk.
How can I get an ARC?
Tempest has Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) available before every book release. All she asks, is that you read the book and post an honest review.
To join the Review Team, and sign up for ARCs, check out this page.
Bookshop
Are all books signed?
Yes! Every physical book from Tempest Reign's Bookshop is signed by Tempest.
Standard editions are hand signed and shipped from Tempest HQ.
Special editions are digitally signed and shipped directly from the specialist UK print facility. If you would like your special edition hand signed, please contact us so we can discuss the logistics and shipping fees.
Do orders come with extras?
Every physical order includes a surprise freebie! It could be anything from a sticker, bookmark, art print, or even a vellum overlay.
You won't know what you're getting until your order arrives, but you will know it will be something special that relates to the book or swag you ordered!
These are exclusive goodies for Tempest's customers, and her small way of saying thank you for buying direct and supporting an indie author.
What's the difference between standard and special editions?
Standard editions are what you find on retailers, except these ones are personally signed by Tempest, packaged with love and care at Tempest HQ, and they always come with special extras!
Special editions are exclusive to Kickstarter and Tempest's Bookshop. They feature beautiful details such as sprayed edges, foiled dust jackets, illustrated case covers, gorgeous endpapers, bound color artwork, and bonus content. These editions are digitally signed by Tempest, then sent directly to you from our specialist printing partner in the UK. All special editions have a separate envelope of free extras, including a hand-written note from Tempest, which is packed and mailed from Tempest HQ.
Pre-orders
How do pre-orders work?
Pre-orders are charged at checkout, and will ship once the product is available. Release dates are listed on the individual product page.
All pre-order customers receive their product before the retail release!
Can I order multiple items with a pre-order product?
You can, however, please note that all items in the order will ship with the pre-order product, once it is ready.
Prefer to get your other items sooner? You can place separate orders, with your in-stock items in one order, and the pre-order product in another order. Please be aware that this will mean paying separate shipping for multiple orders.
Can I cancel my pre-order?
You can cancel your pre-order up until two weeks before the product is set to release. Once this date has passed, unfortunately pre-order cancellations are no longer available.
Shipping & Delivery
When will my order ship?
Physical orders are usually processed within one to two weeks. Once your order has shipped, you will be notified.
