Books are on Their Way to Me!
1 day ago – Wed, Nov 20, 2024 at 08:34:20 AM

Happy Wednesday! (or Thursday, depending on where you are in the world or when you read this :D )

I just got notification that books have finished printing, and are on their way to me. YAY! That means as long as their are no issues with shipments, and as long as the books look great when they arrive, I can start sending book rewards super soon.

That also means for anyone who bought add-ons during your survey, BackerKit will be charging your card in the next couple of days. If you have a PayPal invoice outstanding, that will need to be paid, or it will be canceled at the end of November.

The paperback copies of Once Upon a Showtime will actually take longer to get here than the hardbacks, so those will ship last. I'll be sending you tracking information as I have it.

Have a fantastic week!

Stay geeky, stay sexy!

More Goodies Have Arrived!
23 days ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 08:23:54 AM

Happy Halloween (a day early)!

A few days ago, I received the last of the swag. So I have stickers, bookmarks, vellum sheets, all that awesome stuff in hand.

I'm waiting on books still--both paperbacks and hardbacks. However, For those of you who backed an ebook or swag only tier, I'm getting ready to send out your goodies!

In order to do that, I need surveys filled out. Most of you have done so, and thank you so much! If you haven't filled out your survey yet, no worries. This is your nudge to do so. 

If you didn't get a survey, check your spam folder for messages from Backerkit. If you still don't see it, reach out to me directly. If you backed a digital only tier, especially if you sign into Kickstarter using Apple, I need the email address you want your digital goodies an ebook sent to. If you backed a physical tier, I need that plus your mailing address.

I'm so excited to start putting goodies in inboxes!

Have a wonderful week!

Stay geeky, stay sexy!

PS: If you're looking for another awesome campaign, make sure to check this one out from Sadie Haller. This collection is going to be so awesome--she's got an omnibus of her sexy, kinky contemporary series coming, including an early release of a book that fans have been waiting for. Not only that, but she's offering HAND BOUND books. So. Freaking. Cool.

Hardback Proof of Once Upon a Showtime is in, and WOW!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Oct 16, 2024 at 11:21:40 AM

Happy Humpday, y'all!

I got the final proof of the Once Upon a Showtime hardback, and it is SO GORGEOUS! The case laminate cover looks exactly the way I wanted, like a leather bound book with silver letters and ornaments. I need to make a teensy tweak to the edges, but those look fantastic too. 

The pictures don't show off the silver in all its shiny glory, but it is shiny. And the end papers are vibrant. And the interior looks amazing. I can't want for those of you who are getting a hardback to get your hands on this!

I also have samples of the foiled Vellum inserts, which are going to everyone who got a physical swag pack.

I can't decide on the foil color for this one--torn between this deep burgundy red, and green (to match the neon lights). If you have a preference, let me know.

I'm ordering the books this week. In theory they'll take about 4-6 weeks to get here. Holidays and other things may delay that, but I hope not. If we see delays, I'll update you.

Otherwise, chibi stickers are on their way to me, and I have everything else ready and waiting to send out.

I'm (still) finalizing surveys, but hopefully you'll see those in the next couple of days. There will be a smoke test first, so a small number of you will get surveys as a test, and as long as that goes well, so will everyone else.

With your surveys, you'll have the option to add extras. Paperbacks, stickers, inserts, pins, book sleeves... you get the picture. 

Oh, that reminds me! Pictures of the embroidered booksleeves (so many pictures today ^_^ )

That's enough pictures for now. Have a fabulous rest of your week!

Stay geeky, stay sexy!

WE DID IT!!!!
about 2 months ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2024 at 03:29:48 PM

We met our funding goal, plus a bit more, and these gorgeous books are happening!

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be preparing some things behind the scenes. Around the middle to the end of October, you'll be getting surveys from BackerKit, asking you for shipping and other information, as well as giving you a chance to add-on things like chibi character pins and embroidered book sleeves.

As I get a (hopefully) final proof of the hardback, I'll share, and do the same with the chibi character art and some of the other goodies you'll be getting.

I've enabled late pledges, so if you've got any friends who are sad they missed out, they may still be able to land their own copy.

Thank you so much for helping bring this special edition, plus all the bonus art, to life. You absolutely rock!

Stay geeky, stay sexy!
