Backers,

Just a quick note to let you know that digital rewards went out earlier this week. You should have received a link (or links, depending on your pledge level, to your digital rewards. Please check your spam folders if you haven't received them yet, and let us know if you have any issues with the downloads.

We hope the book makes life a little less awful, and we'll keep you updated regarding physical rewards.

Best,

Ari, Sara, and Mike

Dear Backers,

With cards charged and orders locked, we will begin fulfilling digital orders later this week. Ebooks, audiobooks, digital art--you'll have it really, really soon!

Before we start fulfilling orders, we will be locking preorders as well. This is your last chance to order a book, print, t-shirts, etc.  before fulfillment begins, and if you want to make sure you get them in time for spooky season or the holidays, now's the time to do it.

Spread the word and tell your friends who may have missed the campaign as well.

The preorder store can be found here.

In other news, we have approved the files at Ingram Spark and are awaiting the physical proofs of the hardcover in the coming days. Reviewing the physical proofs is important, especially for a picture book, as we want to make sure the vibrant colors in Sara's illustrations appear as she intended. 

After dealing with the production issues with the hardcover files to make sure the book is as close to perfect as possible, we hope the paperback process goes a lot smoother. Once that is complete, physical rewards will be fulfilled as well.

Best,

Ari, Sara, and Mike

Backers,

I've recently been dealing with a serious health issue that has caused production and fulfilment to be delayed. I am on the mend, and everything should be ok long term. 

We are on track to fulfill digital rewards some time next week, and, while we are still dealing with some issues with the printer, things are moving in the right direction.

As such, I will be locking orders tomorrow and charging cards by the end of the week. 

This is your last chance to change, update, or add to your order.

We can't wait to get this book into your hands,

Best,

Ari

Backers,

I apologize for the lack of recent updates. Rest assured we are working toward fulfilment as hard as we can. 

This has been a rough summer both personally and professionally, but things are progressing, even if it is not as quickly as we would like.

The ebook proof is in the final stages of formatting. Once it is finished and approved, we will move to fulfil digital rewards quickly. I will send another update at that point, and lock orders and charge cards immediately thereafter.

We have been going back and forth with Ingram Spark regarding the physical book (which is not unusual), and this has delayed production to some degree. We want to provide the highest quality book and we need to make sure Sara's art is presented as intended. We are looking at end of August/Beginning of September for fulfilment at this point. 

Some good news: I have upgraded the stickers for those of you who receive them as part of your reward package. Sara and Mike did an amazing job on the stickers, and, because of recent turmoil in the custom sticker industry, I was able to score a special deal at Vinyl Discord, so the stickers will be 3-inch, high quality vinyl stickers.

I have also received the physical posters for those of you who backed that tier. The poster Mike designed using my words and Sara's art is beautiful, and Catprint did an amazing job printing them. I can't wait to get them to you.

I will send another update as soon as the ebook has been approved and digital fulfilment can begin. I hope that will happen later this week. 

In the meantime, PLEASE FILL OUT THE SURVEY if you have not already done so. 79 percent of you already have, but their are still a few stragglers.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Ari, Sara, and Mike
