Wow. What a crazy couple of weeks it's been. We broke through the last stretch goal, so...
Woo-hoo! I should have bought a bottle of wine to celebrate!
Today's update:
Introducing a new character
sharing our new stretch goals
My cover drama continues
Meet Dallas
Dallas is one of Ivy's best friends and her roommate.

Ivy isn't the only one with a secret, although others in the area know about Dallas, just like he knows about them. Hard to hide being a shapeshifter when you're surrounded by them. But he sticks to his territory and they stick to theirs. Usually.
New Stretch Goals!
I think what we'll do is a new stretch goal for $6500 and make it for another commission of chibi art. We'll use that to get another round of stickers and an art prints which will be sent free to all backers of physical tiers.
I have an idea of what I want her to do. The style will be similar to this. These are characters from my last campaign, something cute and playful.

The art prints will be printed on archive-quality photo paper suitable for framing.
IF we get to $8k, then we're going to talk printed end papers.
And I've already decided... the front will be bear paws to signify Jonas. But the back...yes, a secret. Because it will reflect Ivy's heritage.
The mock-up below gives an idea of what I think it will look like although I might fancy it up a bit more.
Again, it will look a little different in the final book because it won't be a mockup and I'm still playing with how I want it to look.
Speaking of playing...
The Cover
Yes, I'm still playing. I think I like the one on the right. The color is still a darker, richer purple, but it's not almost black. And the font pops more.
Let me know what you think about this one!
I'm sure most of you know alllll about Booktopia by now but I want to highlight a couple of the projects that are still hoping to fund. Several of them are #kidlit books so if you have kids, grandkids, if you teach or work at a library, some of these could be fun to check out!
