We hope you are all doing well! It is time for our final update on this campaign and the very last housekeeping odds & ends before we close this chapter.
We will be marking the campaign as CLOSED on October 3rd. This means that backers will no longer be able to complete backer surveys. We will still be able to provide support for backers with declined cards, replacements for lost rewards, etc, but if you have not completed your survey, you will not be able to after the project is closed and it will be more difficult to receive your rewards.
On the subject of rewards, it has been about three months since we completed reward fulfillment and shipping. At this point if you have not received your rewards, digital or physical, please send an email to [email protected] and we will get that sorted out for you immediately. We have not had any shipments returned to our PO box so it is safe to say if your package hasn't arrived, it is lost to the void and we will be happy to send you a replacement.
And finally, we want to talk about what the future might hold for the Rowan blood series and audio narration.
We have had a few questions regarding a potential audiobook for VESSEL OF WOVEN NIGHT, the latest release in the Rowan blood series. We absolutely want to provide audiobooks for VESSEL (and the rest of the Rowan blood series,) but unfortunately we don't currently have a timeline to share for that release. We are brainstorming options, including another crowdfunding campaign, but we don't have anything concrete to share at this time. As soon as we have more details, we will be sure to share them with you!
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you all again for making our first crowdfunding campaign a smashing success and supporting the Rowan blood series.
Hello everyone! This will likely be one of, if not the last update on this project, and it's a very exciting one!
The HERALD OF THE WITCH'S MARK audiobook has passed final review and has been released on Audible, Amazon, and Apple books (with more platforms hopefully to come soon)! You can find it specifically on Audible here: http://bit.ly/3U2OeGr
As of the publishing of this update, the digital audiobook files have been distributed and all physical rewards have been shipped to everyone who has completed their backer survey. We've even seen some rewards have been delivered already! 🎉
If you have not completed your survey, we cannot distribute your digital files or ship your physical rewards, so please do so ASAP. We will be sending reminder emails to those who have not completed their survey.
As we close the chapter on this campaign, we want to take a moment to thank all of you. This was our first crowdfunding campaign with a lot of unknowns, and we were so so touched with all of the support we received, both big and small. EVERY backer counted toward hitting the final goal, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. THANK YOU!
The HERALD OF THE WITCH'S MARK audiobook is officially complete, reviewed, and READY FOR YOUR EARS! The .zip file with individual chapter .mp3s will be distributed directly through backerkit, you should receive an email with information on how to download/access them. Christian (https://www.instagram.com/leathermanaudio/) did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job narrating HOWM, I'm so excited for everyone to finally get to experience it like I did!!

A reminder that these mp3s are meant for backers ONLY, and we ask that you please not distribute them freely! The audiobook will be made available for purchase for other interested listeners hopefully by the end of this month. That said, you are of course more than welcome to share on social media, etc, that you've received it, and especially any parts you're enjoying!
Secondly, all physical rewards have been dropped off with the local post office, save a small handful whom we need more address or other information from (if this is your case, you will be receiving an email ASAP!). Due to the nature of sending via stamped letter mail, there will be no tracking information attached to physical rewards--as such, if you have a United States address and do not receive your rewards by July 15, or a non-US address and you do not receive your rewards by July 31, please send me an email directly ([email protected]) and I will get replacements into the mail ASAP. We will also be checking our PO box regularly to nab any that are returned and need corrections to addresses or the like.

Once again, thank you all SO MUCH for your support for this project, we genuinely could not have done it without you. We hope you enjoy HERALD OF THE WITCH'S MARK!

With all of the merchandise ready to go and the HOWM narration now fully reviewed and completed, we are going to start fulfilling + shipping your rewards! We are planning to have all physical and digital rewards distributed/shipped by June 20th.
This is the last chance to complete or edit your backer survey in order to avoid delays in receiving your rewards, so please make sure you have done so! We are also going to start locking shipping addresses so you will be receiving a final notice to make any changes to your address and then addresses will be locked after 48 hours.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us!We're so excited to get these goodies into your hands!
Hello everyone! We have some exciting updates for you!
First off, the HOWM narration is complete!! We are in the process of reviewing it right now, and can already say that Christian has done an INCREDIBLE job! He's absolutely knocked it out of the park and we are so excited for you all to hear it! There are a few line deliveries that have literally made both of us start to cry. 😭
Once we're done reviewing it in full, we'll do any final checks, edits, formatting, then it will be time to distribute it to backers, and then upload it to the various platforms like Audible for the wide release. We are currently hoping to have the audiobook distributed to backers around the first week of June.
Secondly, the prints are here!! And they look incredible!! Here are some ✨ glamour ✨ shots, because we are so excited with how these turned out.

Currently, the sticker sheets + early bird stickers are in production, and we are expecting them to be delivered to us within the first two weeks of June.
Once we have all the merch, we will start packing everything up, and getting it in the mail and on its way to all of you! Our optimistic plan is to have all physical rewards shipped out by June 15th.
A quick reminder since we're inching closer to fulfillment, its extremely important to make sure you've completed your backer survey, so that we have an email address for digital rewards, and a shipping address for physical rewards. We won't be able to send your rewards if we don't have somewhere to send them to! If you have any questions, issues, or if you've lost the link to your backer survey, feel free to send us a message and we will get it sorted out for you.
