Latest Updates from Our Project:

Books Have Arrived!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 19, 2024 at 07:16:21 AM

Happy Day backers!

The hardcovers have finally arrived at my house (so many books).



Over the next couple of weeks I'll be packing these up to head to their forever homes with you! But I wanted to share a few housekeeping updates with you all.


Shipping Charges Coming Soon

As a reminder, US shipping was included in the tier pricing. International backers will be charged for shipping in the next week or two once BackerKit enables the feature and I confirm final costs.


EU Backers


Folks in the EU (i think we've got a couple of you), fear not! Your books will be heading your way, too. I have obtained the necessary representation to continue shipping there. Also, we are now required to include safety information in the local language. Full disclosure, I will 100% be using Google Translate to assist me in this task. So, if things sound a little funny, that's partly why. Also I may be having a bit of cheeky fun with the wording, too.


Multiple Campaign Backers


This may have been my fist campaign directly on BackerKit but it is by no means the first campaign I've run (even in 2024). There are handful of you (4 by my count) who have backed my Guardians of Camelot campaign back in May. I'll be posting a separate update over on Kickstarter regarding that campaign in my detail, but I wanted to let you know that to save on shipping, I will be mailing your rewards for both campaigns in one package. As all of you are US-based, this won't affect any potential shipping costs for you at this time.

I will be posting another update once everything goes in early January!

Print Books Moving Along
over 1 year ago – Fri, Nov 08, 2024 at 03:31:51 AM

Hi all,

Just a quick update to let you know that the print books have been approved an are being loaded for shipment to me! As they are coming from overseas, I expect they'll arrive with me sometime in mid-December. Once they get here, I'll be making sure they all look good before I start packaging them up to head off to their forever homes!


Surveys

I still have three folks who have yet to complete their surveys (not including a couple folks who are doing the pay over time option). I will be sending reminders out later today. Please get those surveys in, especially if they're for print books. Otherwise, I won't know where to send your pretty stuff!


E-Books


Just a reminder that you should have received an email via BackerKit with a link to download all of your e-books and digital items. You can also always log into your BackerKit account, go to the Captivity campaign and it should give you a list of things to download as well.


Some Cool Kickstarter Campaigns Going On Now!

I also wanted to share a few really fun fantasy campaigns happening right now over on Kickstarter.


Riders of Fire: 2nd Deluxe Edition

Bestselling epic fantasy dragon rider series in 2 deluxe, illustrated collector's edition omnibuses - faux leather, foil & gilt edges!


Summer Break Fae

The next installment in a contemporary fantasy romp. It's Uncle Buck & Mr. Mom Meets Supernatural & Buffy the Vampire Slayer.




Surveys Sent + Digital Reward Delivery!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 14, 2024 at 12:53:38 PM

Happy Indigenous People's Day to all my American backers.

This is just a quick update to let you all know that all surveys have now been sent. If you had issues with your pledge payment previously, you are able to pay through the survey so you can still snag all of your pledge items!

Digital Rewards


For all backers who filled out their surveys already (thank you!) digital rewards have been delivered. You'll get a email from BackerKit with the links to download all of your goodies!

Survey Closure Reminder


In order to get add-ons ordered, surveys for those who did not use a payment plan are due by November 1. I believe we only have a handful who have payment plans. You'll get access to your surveys once you've made your last payment.

Print Progress


I received confirmation last week that the printer received the signed tip-in pages for the hardcovers and they're hard at work getting the order printed. I expect the books should be ready to ship sometime in mid-to-late November.

Smoke Test Ahoy!
over 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 09, 2024 at 05:00:17 PM

Howdy my lovely backers.

I just wanted to let folks know that I've initiated the smoke test surveys. This means that BackerKit sends out 10% of the surveys for each tier to make sure that everything on the backend is running smoothly.

Once we've worked through this, I'll send out the rest of the surveys.

As a reminder, surveys close on November 1, 2024.

Some points about surveys:

  1. If your pledge errors, you still get a survey. This should give you the opportunity to pay via the Pledge Manager. But again, you will lose cross-collab rewards.
  2. You will be able to grab additional add-ons during the survey process. There are some additional items that weren't available during the campaign.

48 Hours left to Fix Errored Pledges

Happy Tuesday all!

It's hard to believe it's been nearly two weeks since the Captivity campaign wrapped up!

We are hard at work behind the scenes getting things moving. The print run has been ordered and most of the swag has either arrived or is on its way to me. It's all very exciting as we start to get everything prepped to head out your way post-holidays!
