I'm sorry to be coming back with bad news. I was waiting to see what was going to happen with my books, and woke up this morning to a refund on the hardcovers from Amazon. "Damaged or may be undeliverable," they said. They still haven't charged me for the paperbacks. I ordered both versions of these on September 21st, so I'm exceedingly disappointed in this development.
I ordered books from a local printer, and I should have the paperbacks by the 22nd and the hardcovers by the 27th at the earliest. I'm so sorry for the delay.
I'll be throwing a discount in every box for my shop, and a link to a secret backer's tier for Such Sweet Sorrow for a reduced cost on physical books. I've never had an issue with KDP before, but I think in the future I'll skip the POD order for fulfillment copies and just grab my own author copies from a local printer.
You will still get your books! They'll just be going out later than I hoped.
It's been a bit since I got an update out. Sorry about that! But, we also had a little downtime between sending out packages, so there wasn't a lot to report.
Now, however, I have some fun new things for you! First off, we have the cover finalized for the Space Wizard Novellas! You might remember we didn't quite get to the stretch goal to completely fund it during the campaign, but with some extra funds from the addons in the pledge manager, we were basically able to pay for the cover cost. Spoon of Spoonwood visuals once again did an amazing job, and we can now show off the final for you!
A figure in an orange/red spacesuit with the Space Wizard logo on the chest holds a crystal ball in their hand. Inside the ball, a jungle is visible, with the hint of scorpion claws. In the spacesuit's visor, the ball is reflected as a geodesic dome. around the figure float stars and dandelion seeds.
If you've read any of the novellas, you might find a few hints and easter eggs on the cover. There will be more on the back of the hardback! These should be ready to order in a week or so, and I'll have a small supply for conventions and things.
Second we also have the final cover for Pressure Magic, which releases on October 13th (about a week!). Serene did a great job with this one, as usual!
We've got three more books coming in November and December from the June campaign. I hope to order them all in the next few weeks to get them here in early November and ship out the rest of the rewards to everyone!
And that bring us to what's coming next from Space Wizard! Part 2 will be starting on October 29th, and the covers are starting to come in for this campaign! We have some great books in store for you, so make sure to follow the campaign. Right now, you can listen to an interview with:
Sorry about the lack of updates. I've had some delays getting this done. We now have our hardcover mock up here. Later this I'll be sending off for print tests and then I'll ship out your books this season when it all looks good.
I have calculated the shipping charges which you can see on your pledges now!
I will be applying them once the books are ready to ship.
Those who have pledged for a paperback of The Elitist Supremacy will be getting charged this week since the book is ready to ship. Once I've applied the charges, I'll be shipping them out!
Preston wants you to know we're locking addresses and start charging shipping fees! Which also means shipping will start very soon! Isn't that exciting? It also means you'll receive your books and goodies very soon - goodies have almost all arrived, books are as good as ordered.
Yesterday, my amazing - and patient! - editor finished notating the rest of the book. I've been following along and working on edits behind her, and she made it to the end and gave me her final notes. 🎉
Speaking of making actual edits, the book is fully edited through page 125
I've lined up someone for layout and formatting of the book this week. So as soon as edits are complete, I can send the manuscript over for formatting immediately.
I have been editing as quickly as I can, and the edits of book 1 is finally done, so Imma be sending off the ebooks today. If your pledge level includes an ebook of The Elitist Supremacy, you'll get it today.
The paperback final version has been uploaded to Ingram and I'll be sending them off once it;'s proofready and approved!
You can see what the paperback looks like here!
I have also sent the incentives for backing the campaign, so if you got some extra books, that's the incentive!
Don't forget to check out my upcoming campaign and keep your support coming!
All of the digital downloads (except for the Aloe audiobook; that's still in production) have been sent! This includes an updated version of Lemon Balm; someone alerted me to a problem that the original e-book had where it claimed to be 44% through the book at the beginning on Kindle. So, that's fixed in the new update.
I've also ordered physical copies, which will be to me between October 13th and 17th. This is later than I expected, but the books should be to everyone before the end of October hopefully!
If you are expecting a download and haven't gotten one, it's because you haven't filled out your survey yet. Please do that! If you can't find the link, please comment or reach out and I'll get you sorted!
