Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to report that the author convention was a success! It took a few days to recharge, but I'm back in the swing.

Here are some updates:

- The survey is slated for distribution next week. Crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly!

- I'm eager to share draft art from Wall Flower Designs. Get ready for some demons!
- I am hard at work on the survival guide.  The first draft didn't quite hit the mark, so I am trying something different.
- Hardcover proofs were ordered on the 14th.  So far the status has not changed at book vault. The original estimate was early Nov, so I am trying to be patient. 

Thanks for your continued support!
Claudia

Hi All,

Just a quick update.  I just ordered the hardcover proofs!  I am super excited and can't wait until I can show you.

I will be out of pocket for about a week, starting today.  I have an in-person event that I am driving to across the country (with two teenaged girls - my past self didn't know what I was getting into).  I will be at Multiverse in Atlanta, GA from the Oct 18th - 20th.

I was hoping to be able to send the surveys before I left, but I missed the timing, so they will go after I get home from the event.

Take care!
Claudia

Hello wonderful backers!

I'm grateful for your continued support and patience. Unfortunately, I'm facing a family emergency that requires my immediate attention. This has caused a brief delay in our project timeline.

However, I don't want to leave you empty-handed! I'm excited to share an exclusive sneak peek of the draft maps crafted by the talented Dewi:

Can you believe these are drafts?  Dewi's work is breathtaking, and I know you'll love the final results!
Did you notice anything odd with the Kalecca map?  See if you can guess in the comments. 

Updated Timeline:
I was hoping the surveys would be out next week. Based on everything going on, I don't think that is realistic.  At this point, I am planning on a week delay. 

So far the rest of the project timelines are holding. So we anticipate shipping to be early this December. 

Thank you for understanding, and I'll keep you updated on our progress. Your support means the world to me.

Best regards,

Claudia

 🎉 A huge THANK YOU to each and every backer who made this campaign such a success! 🎊

At the last minute we made the next stretch goal!!!

 
This is huge for us for so many reasons. This is my first crowdfunding. It was an amazing experience.  

Running a crowdfunding campaign is a lot of work. I need a week to get myself organized.  Look for an update then.

- ETA - 
Current Plan:
Once reward surveys are live, they'll be open for four weeks (more or less the whole month of October). So we anticipate shipping to be early this December. 

We have not dealt with BookVault before, so there are some dependencies on processing and shipping.

I will keep you posted and update the timeline as we find out more.


- Oracle Cards - 
Our partner project did fund, so the oracle box will be added to your order for any physical rewards.  I think I can add the boxes as an add-on in your reward surveys.  I will keep you posted on that.


- Stretch Goals - 
We were short of our last stretch goal. As alluded to above, through the reward survey, you'll have the opportunity to add on additional items to your pledge when you're paying for shipping. If enough additional funds are raised on the backend, I will be sending an e-copy of the Z short story to everyone. 

I think that's about everything for now!

Thanks!
