Welp, May got away from me, but I trust you have received all your goodies! Orders are now all marked as shipped, which is just an admin formality on my end – you should have your books and any add-ons in digital and/or paper form. Check your Backerkit account, and please let me know asap if you haven't! If you added tracking, you should be able to see the tracking number and carrier link in your Backerkit account to follow up. But hopefully the books are all sitting happily on your shelves.
Why did May escape? I've been busy getting a new title ready for publication, and it comes out this Sunday! The Virtues of Kings is another novella in the Cursed Princes, my series of twisted fairy tale romantasy retellings. Early readers have said excellent things about it, such as "Gorgeous" and "Subverts gender stereotypes in such a satisfying manner", so if that's something you enjoy, check it out!
You can pick up The Virtues of Kings on any retailer, or grab it right now by signing up to my Patreon. You are most welcome to jump in, grab the book and drop back to the free tier :) I post updates for non-paying members too!

That's all from Operation: Chocolate Overload! Thank you so much for joining in the fun, and I hope to see you for the second Lightless Prophecy book coming to hardcover later this year. I'll let you know when it goes live, but if you'd like to follow all the fun (and get a free Lightless novella), please sign up for my newsletter: https://kelefox.com/newsletter/
Excellent news – fulfilment is complete! From my end, at least, which means all digital goods have been sent and all physical books have been customised and ordered. They'll be printed in your country and shipped direct to you.
Please check your inboxes (and the usual junk/promo/other) folders for an email from BackerKit with links to your digital downloads. If you have any trouble accessing the files, let the friendly BackerKit team know and they'll sort you out.
If you pledged for a hardcover (and/or ordered a paperback), those should arrive in 3-4 weeks. For those who ordered tracking, that'll be available in a couple of weeks, once printing is complete.
I'll check in again early May to make sure you've got your books. In the meantime, grab your digital goodies, and if you have any questions, please ask away!
Good news! The final proof for Operation Chocolate Overload has arrived and it's spot on. We're about to proceed with fulfilment.
Soon, you'll see an email from BackerKit giving you 48 hours to finalise your order before it's locked in. If you're happy, you're good to go – no action required.
However, if I might entice you...
The first four books in my new fairy tale retelling series are now available outside of Amazon, which means there is just time to add them to your order!
Pick these up if you like angst, dramatic princes getting up to no good (but actually trying to save the world), witty banter and flirty romances. They're quick reads, and there are more to come!
Find them in the pre-order store, or pick them up in the add-ons when your order review email arrives shortly.
Surveys have been sent! Check your inboxes (and all the other folders these things get lost in) and be sure to fill it out – if you don't, I can't send you your books. We don't want that.
If you can't find the email, log into BackerKit and you'll see your surveys under Your Pledges and Surveys in your account. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or the very helpful folk at BackerKit.
Please fill the survey out as soon as you can. Books are ready and waiting to ship as soon as you do!
And for a bit of colourful fun to brighten your week, here are some zany watercolour crabs I painted at my last art workshop day.
Squee! The proof has arrived and it looks so good :D
I made an unboxing video if you'd like to see a) the book in all its glory or b) me struggle to open a package. https://youtu.be/g4qQXcEwvYU
I'm nearly done with the bonus material ebooks too, so we're getting very close to fulfilment!
If you didn't pick up a hardcover but now kinda wish you had, don't worry! You can add one on when you fill out your survey, which will be coming out soon. Keep an eye out for it.
