Project Update: Surveys are on their way!
Hey everybody--especially backers!
Just dropping in with an update... Surveys are going out over the next week or so. Bear with me; I am far more experienced with Kickstarter than with Backerkit, and some pieces operate differently, leading to some confusion on my part.
Here's what I can say: all the holiday cards are done with art by one of the two artists who worked on my goofy comicon investigation game (Division of Nerd Crime: the Game) who is a talented artist and becoming my go-to for art with certain styles.
My shopify webstore got hit with a huge scammer attack that led to me being soaked for a bunch of money and shopify was flat out unwilling to help recover those fees despite the fact that they say they do and then charge hundreds of dollars per year for their service... apparently the fine print says: we don't actually do that. I am no longer with shopify and my online store is presently being rebuilt on Wix (www.authorchristopherdschmitz.com).
You will see a fun add-on being the Call of Poohthulhu which I also designed--some of you may have backed the kickstarter last year. Here's the news on that: it should arrive at the same time as the books so these can be shipped at the same time for backers of Twisted Yuletide! (the KS is being fulfilled by a different party, but I will personally fulfill the anthology campaign, including add-ons.)
Timelines: I am expecting notification any day that the shipping carrier has arrived in port. Once that happens, it will be 5-15 days for me to get the delivery and begin fulfilling backers. Halloween arrival is still possible, but less likely. Production and shipping timelines were slowed down by an overseas holiday I was unaware of (we Americans rarely take days off in comparison). Mid November is still my late-timeline projections and we are within our initial estimates--if any of that changes I will let you all know!
If you're not a backer but want to get this book ASAP, you can purchase it directly on my (rebuilt) website and I will fulfill the order as quickly as possible--note that, due to rights agreements, I can only sell physical editions of the book on my website.
