Hello everyone,

First, I want to sincerely apologize for the radio silence over the past several months. You all placed your trust in me by backing The Vault of the Seven, and you deserved more frequent communication from me.

Unfortunately, life had other plans.

Over the past several months I've been dealing with a number of health issues, along with some significant family matters that required my time and attention. While neither stopped work on the project entirely, they did slow my progress considerably and made it difficult to provide the kind of updates I wanted to share.

The good news is that The Vault of the Seven is still moving forward. Work has continued, and I'm now in a position where I can see the finish line. My current expectation is that the completed project will be ready within the next three months.

Rather than rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline, I want to make sure I deliver the book that I envisioned when I first launched this campaign—and the book that you backed. Your patience has given me the opportunity to do that, and I'm incredibly grateful.

Going forward, I'll do a better job of keeping everyone informed as I work toward completion. Even if progress is incremental, you deserve to know where things stand.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and most of all, your belief in this project. It truly means a great deal to me, and I can't wait to finally put The Vault of the Seven into your hands. I'm getting the pledge manager set up, and the surveys should be out to everyone within the next 10 days. No later than August 15, 2026.

Thank you,

Dean M. Lewis
