Hey, hey Bloodlings!

Just checking in with you!

If all goes well, The Blood Ties Audiobook will be available to you by the end of October, early November! It's been a journey, and it took longer than I expected, but I can see the finish line!

As I stated in my last email, the mini-cookbook legal issue is still ongoing. The representative keeps asking questions that I don't exactly have answers too, so I'm figuring them out as I go along. I could make this simple by removing the short story component from the book, but it's really important to me that the cookbook has a bit of the culture from the place of its inspiration within it. 

And, I've solved the issue with the Bundle of Unedited Short Stories! So, I'll be able to write those up too!

Last, if you ordered a copy of Blood Lies, you’ll be happy to know the book is on its final pass with the editor. Publication is expected to happen between mid and late November!

Remember, for this campaign, I’ll be sending digital rewards out first, and physical rewards at a later date.

Current and Upcoming Campaigns:

I hope you’ll stick with me and support my Printopia campaign for the Covenant of Blood Audiobook, which will be voiced by Jynelle Brown. There are only THREE DAYS LEFT in the campaign, and I'm still short by $1363 as of the posting of this update. If you haven't pledged already, please consider doing so now. Even $1 could help push it to the finish line.

And don't forget the fall Book Bazaar campaign is coming up too. I'll be trying to raise $1500 for The Brotherhood of Blood (though I really need $2500 to cover all costs). The book will be set for public release in November 2028, but those who back will receive the ebook earlier. If you follow the project today, you'll receive a copy of the flash fiction story, "Snapshots of Dracula: Prologue," which is currently only available on Backerkit.

As always, thank you, and I’ll keep you updated on my progress! 

XOXO
