DIGITAL REWARDS INCOMING!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 16, 2022 at 01:23:30 AM

So I've gone ahead and locked the surveys for everyone who has submitted them so far. That means digital rewards (including any weekly perks) are going to start hitting your inbox soon! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need help accessing your rewards.

The Hardcover files are in review with the printer now and as soon as I get the go-ahead, I'll be placing that order. It should hopefully be later this week.

I'm going to be spending most of June focusing on getting the audio commentaries ready so I'll have more information for you all on the Zoom Q&A in early July (but I'm still super excited to hang out with you guys and answer questions).

I'm Way Too Excited Right Now!

I'm probably a HUGE nerd for doing this, but I didn't want to just use boring old shipping boxes to send you all stuff, especially as I knew I would be doing other campaigns.  So, I went and bought custom branded boxes with the logos for my urban fantasy and cozy mystery pen names. They arrived over the last 2 days (I had to order a bunch of them) and they look AMAZING!

Here's a peek at them (So you know what to look out for in a few weeks).

I also wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has already responded to their surveys. I think we've only got a couple people who haven't answered who I need shipping information and/or special thanks for. Remember, for those folks who get special thanks and/or signed books, if I haven't gotten your response by Monday June 13, 2022, I'm going to use your Kickstarter name.  For everyone else (including those at the $130 tier with just got the hardcover set that's unsigned), I will be locking orders on June 27, 2022, so that's the last date you can make changes to your survey if there are things you'd like to update. I will likely lock those surveys from people who have already responded after Monday so that digital rewards go out.

SURVEYS ARE OUT!

The Smoke test was a success (and thank you to the backer who helped fix a question that was supposed to have multiple answer options and didn't). That means Surveys are going out today! also, I've ordered some snazzy branded shipping boxes that are arriving today so keep an eye out for another update (once I manage to assemble them).

Reminders:

• If you pledged a physical tier, you'll be prompted for your shipping address during the survey.
• If you backed for a tier that includes special thanks ($50, $80, $180 or $350), I will need your responses by Monday June 13, 2022 so that I can wrap up the final formatting for the print editions and get that order placed. If you don't respond by that deadline, I will use your Kickstarter name.

All originally-planned digital rewards are now locked and loaded so once folks lock their surveys for the digital-only tiers,  you'll be getting your rewards. For folks who got physical tiers, once you lock in your surveys (with shipping addresses), you will also get the digital portions of your rewards. I don't foresee issues with physical fulfillment happening in July.

Due to schedule stuff (and mom life) I've realized it makes a lot more sense to deliver the audio commentaries in July when I'm sending print rewards. It just gives me more time to get them done properly and it doesn't hold up delivery of your digital rewards.
