Project Update: Surveys coming soon...
Hi all,
Apologies for the peace and quiet. As you may know if you follow my socials, my October was not only crammed with conventions on both sides of the Atlantic, but kicked off with the passing of my very best friend, Luna, the world's most perfect Corgi (fight me).
I will be ordering the books soon, and once the order is placed I will send out the surveys to ensure that everything is ready to roll once the books arrive with me.
More news soon!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Barely 100 minutes remaining, and we're juuuust about touching digital sprayed edges!!!
Ooooo this is exciting!!! We're JUST ABOUT over the line for digital sprayed edges, which allows us to upgrade the sprayed edges to a design, rather than a single block of colour... But if pledges get dropped at this stage, we'll dip back below the line, so please tell all your friends (or in fact anyone, I'm not picky) to come support this project so we can make sure the artwork happens!
ONE HUNDRED MINUTES TO GO! Let's make them count!
And, again, thank you SO MUCH for all of your help. I adore this madcap action/adventure book, and I hope you will love it as much as I do!

Project Update: WE MADE IT!
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! WE MADE IT!
So... what happens next?
First, BackerKit will attempt to collect your pledges. IF YOU ARE IN THE USA, THIS MAY FAIL. US-based banks are notorious for thinking that any American attempting to buy things from The Foreign Internet has automatically had their card stolen or cloned, so if this happens to you, DON'T PANIC! Simply log into BackerKit and re-enter your card information, and it'll work second time around.
After that... We wait a while. It will take a couple of weeks for BackerKit to finish collecting all the pledges, and then once that's done I can get your surveys out to you. Not only will surveys include your shipping fees, but also a last opportunity to alter your pledge or add more items to it.
Notably, pledges which fail at this stage and are not corrected may cause us to fall below the £4,000 threshold for digital edges, so please ensure that your pledge is processed (by re-entering your card information) if it fails the first time.
In the meantime, I will be ordering the one-off print run from my chosen offset printer here in the UK, and ensuring that all files are in order. Once BackerKit send me over the collected funds, I can pay the printer and set things in motion with them.
Once surveys are locked, I will also send ebooks to anyone whose pledge / addons included them so that you can start reading right away!
Then, once the books arrive with me, I will begin shipping all physical items!
Once again, thank you so much! I hope you have as much fun with my unhinged book baby as I had writing it :D
Cheers,
