The draft is done! I’m very excited to have hit that milestone.
I do need to put a short pause on this project, because I’m moving in a little less than two weeks, and there is just no way I can give the book the attention it deserves in the middle of that chaos.
Once I’m settled after the move, I’ll do a full read-through and edit. Then it will go to my editor. Since my timeline shifted a bit, I’ll need to grab her next available slot.
I’ll check in next month with updated dates. After I get the edit back, I’ll work through those notes and send the book to the proofreader. From there, the ebook versions will be finalized and delivered.
I’m really excited to have made it to this next stage.
Hi lovely humans (and any suspiciously well-dressed rabbits),
I owe you an update, and first: I have not forgotten you. Not even a little.
I realized recently that some of you may not be on my newsletter, where I’ve talked more about what’s been happening behind the scenes, so I wanted to catch you up properly here too.
The honest version: I got to the end of Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues and realized the book wasn’t quite working the way it needed to. The pieces were there, Ana was still very much Ana, and the rabbit-related chaos remained deeply committed to its job, but the story itself needed a stronger shape.
So I made the tough author call and rebuilt a big chunk of the book. I’m now back around the halfway point with a version that feels much better, much more magical, and much more like the story I actually want to put in your hands.
On the fulfillment side, I also ran into some technical weirdness with the pre-order store, especially around entering the stickers and add-ons correctly. Tiny sticker logistics: somehow more dramatic than expected. I think I finally have that part figured out, which means I’m getting closer to being able to send the store and surveys your way.
I know this has taken longer than planned, and I truly appreciate your patience. I care about giving you the cozy, strange, bunny-complicated book I promised, not just rushing something out because the calendar glared at me.
Thank you again for backing this story into existence. I’m still here, still writing, still wrangling magic rabbits, and still very grateful.
CC&C Writing Progress + Pre-Order Store & Surveys Coming Soon-ish!
Hi lovely humans (and any suspiciously well-dressed rabbits),
Quick update: I’m diligently writing on Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues, and I’m genuinely having a blast with it. Ana is doing Ana-things, the magic is getting weirder in the best way, and yes—there are absolutely bunny-related complications.
What’s next: I expect the pre-order store and surveys to go out within the next month. I’m excited because this is the part where everything starts to feel real: you’ll be able to lock in choices (like editions and extras), and I’ll be able to finalize numbers for printing and fulfillment.
As always—thank you for backing this book into existence. I’m grateful, and I cannot wait to hand you this story.
I’ve been a little quiet because I’ve been setting up the next campaign, which is a pivot from our cozy rabbits. In November, I’m drafting the first full version of the CC&C novel (yes, I’m doing the “write a novel in November” thing). I’ll pop back in December with a progress update and a peek at pages.
In the meantime… I’d love to invite you to my next adventure:
This one is not cozy. A romantasy with science-fantasy tech—high stakes, castle corridors, and secrets. I also have a thing for nanites. (Consider that a playful hint about a reveal in Book 2. 😂)
Because I like making my life spicy (pun intended), there will be two reading paths:
Open-door (spicy)
Closed-door (fade-to-black)
Same core story, tailored extras per version so you can choose your comfort level.
What to Expect:
Early-bird discounts + a Dragon Hoard collector tier
eBooks: spicy or closed-door (with “lost journals”)
Exclusive Softcovers: spicy or closed-door (with “lost journals”)
Exclusive Hardcovers: spicy or closed-door + extra scenes tailored to your spice level
Covers (they’re gorgeous)
Two exclusive hardcovers by Suzie—the castle door + color will signal whether it’s closed-door or open-door at a glance
A separate retail cover by Leigh for one e-book and later distribution
Fun Extras
3D dragon fidgets (because anxious hands deserve a tiny dragon)
Dragon temporary tattoos (should your chosen mark!)
Previous-backer thank-you: a secret extra sticker if you grab a physical reward (I’m seeing if I can sneak in a bunny-meets-dragon mash-up)
Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues has been such a joyful, cozy project, and I’m so grateful for everyone who pledged, voted, and joined in the bunny chaos. You’ve made this adventure magical.
Now, if I were wise, I’d be hiding in a book with a blanket and a mug of tea… but reality has other plans. I somehow agreed to chaperone 80+ seventh graders on an overnight school trip. (Reader, I regret everything.)
So if I go quiet for the next month, don’t worry—it just means I’m sorting deadlines, wrangling life, and recharging before the next round of updates.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you for being part of this cozy corner of magic with me. Ana, the bunnies, and I couldn’t have done it without you. 🐇✨
Just a few hours remain! We’re halfway to the next stretch goal, and it’s a four-way tie: Foil & Jackets, Oracle Cards, Extra Art, or an Inspirational Bunny Short.
💖 Thank you, truly, to everyone who’s hopped along on this cozy adventure. Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues is close to my heart—born out of all the wild life changes that made me want to write something fun and comforting.
The bunnies? Just a bonus. :)
As a one-woman crew in this cozy chaos, I deeply appreciate you taking the time to pledge, vote, and interact. You’ve made this journey magical.
Welcome to the Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues Launch Party! Pull up a chair, grab some tea (or carrot cake), and join us as we celebrate the start of Ana’s magical—and mildly sarcastic—adventures.
Here’s what you’ll find at the party: 🐇 Sneak peeks of Ana, the bunny, and the magical watch 🎨 Exclusive art & campaign goodies (stickers! maps! extras!) 📚 Early-bird editions and collector-only rewards 💫 A community of cozy fantasy fans making magic happen together
The best part? You’re not just here for a book—you’re helping bring an entire whimsical world to life.
Built for bubble baths and book clubs.
This one probably glows under moonlight.
Because ‘just the book’ was never your vibe.
Magic, mischief, and messages from the universe… now in convenient e-format.
The universe whispered… and it said you probably need Bunzilla in your life. (Limit 2!)
✨ The universe never sends just one bunny. Bunzilla may be the star of the Cosmic Bunny Survival Kit, but he isn’t alone—his friends are waiting in the wings, ready to hop into the chaos. Keep an eye out for upcoming stretch goals, because soon you’ll be able to unlock Bunzilla’s mischievous companions and bring the whole cosmic crew home.
