Thank you SO much to everyone who came out yesterday to the book signing of The Warm Machine! I had so much fun meeting and chatting with you all. Oh yeah, and dressing like a robot, that's always fun. :D

You may have spotted that the Inix bow is totally done (if you were there with me)... So, here we are, the finished product!

Check out the making of reel for the Inix bow on Bluesky. The video for the Feint one will go up in a couple of days too. If you love these, she does do customs as well (and will be opening up slots for those on December 12th)! Make sure to shoot her a follow on Bluesky... Check out the Adorkabows website also.

I've gotten a few asks so I'd like to clarify! The place that I basically cannot ship to is the EU (which is why I'm saving y'all for when I have an IS link to let you know), but if you've wanted to pledge for a physical book with all the BackerKit goodies and you're in the UK, or Australia, or a country on this list that is not in the EU, I can ship to you. I'll send you the secret link for the international tiers if you reach out to me through the message system here, email me at [email protected], DM me on IG or Bluesky, or any of the ways. Please don't ever feel like you're bothering me. I love hearing from you and would love to get you the books in the format you want most if I can make it happen. 

Few more things. American Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday, so I'd like to say happy turkey day. But also, tomorrow will be trailer night on Twitch, where we'll be streaming all of the TBB trailers we have. You can come check that out at 6 PM ET on Nov. 24th on Twitch. We'll also be hosting another LIVE writer's chat on November 29th at 6 PM ET on Twitch as well (and as always, the questions will also be posted on Bluesky for answering).

Now, where's that art I promised...

Oh right. I couldn't *just* draw Inix as a stained glass window, could I?

Sterling, Inix, and Zev, all our (current) bots in one place! You'll get these as downloadable coloring book pages if we crest $1800

If there's any desire for small prints of these, I can make that happen as well. Just let me know in the comments if it's something you want and I'll throw it up as an add-on/in the survey shop!

I reaaaally wanted to try to get at least some of these books out in time to make it for the holidays, but given IngramSpark is still *printing* the hardcover proof I ordered on November 6th, it's safe to say I will miss it. IS had a cutoff of Nov. 22nd for hardcover orders and I can't order the final batch without seeing the proof first unfortunately. I'm hoping to still get things shipped in December, however, so you can have them as soon as possible, so fingers crossed!

We would really love it if all our The Book Bazaar projects funded, so I'm going to highlight a few favorites from here on our at the end of each update that I reeeeeally wanna see funded!

Here's the first: Horror + fantasy + intrigue, with gorgeous cover art by Thomas S. Brown. Please consider backing even for just an ebook copy to get her funded! She's been an absolute cross-collab powerhouse and I think those good deeds SHOULD go rewarded.

Space Wizard is still a little over $1,000 away from funding these 7 titles. You can pick any book in the Space Wizard extensive back catalogue for your tier reward (or more than one!) so you're not limited to just these 7 offerings. If you're an author, there's tiers for copy editing and developmental editing at an absolute steal, and you can pay across multiple months. Definitely take a look and consider throwing a couple bucks to a small press to get them over the line!
