Important Update In Regards To Shipping!
Hey, everyone. I hope you're all doing well and having a fantastic weekend.
I have some really disappointing news about the special edition.
⚠️ Because of new EU packaging and waste regulations, I’m no longer able to ship physical rewards to countries within the EU or to Norway.
I’m genuinely gutted about this. I’ve put so much effort, and time into planning the physical edition, and I wanted it to be available to as many of you as possible. But complying with the different requirements would come with costs and financial risks that I simply can’t take on as a small indie author.
So, for now, all EU countries and Norway are off the table for physical rewards. (Sweden is exempt from this.)
I hate it. You hate it. Let's just all take a moment to hate this properly together for a minute. 😭
However, I can still ship the physical special edition to countries outside the EU and Norway. Eg: The US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc
BUT before I commit to getting it printed, I need some idea of how many people would actually want one, because if there aren’t enough of us, the numbers may no longer make sense.
❗ If you live outside the EU and Norway and would seriously consider backing the physical special edition, please take the poll BELOW.
This isn’t a commitment to buy anything! I’m only trying to get a realistic sense of where everyone is and whether there’s still enough interest to move ahead with printing.
And, because I need to end this announcement with at least one piece of good news: digital rewards will still be available worldwide. No matter where you live, you’ll still be able to join the campaign and get the books, artwork, Springwell extras, and other digital goodies.
Thank you for bearing with me while I try figure all of this out. This was really not the news I wanted to share, but you know me, and I’d rather be honest with you about where things stand than take a financial risk that could put myself and my family in a financial pinch. 💛
The Springwell Tourism Board Has Approved New Incentives 🏆
Hey all! I can't believe there's almost 200 of you here. That's absolutely amazing and I'm so blown away by your support. So, naturally, I wanted to come up with something cool for you all!
I've already talked about the Early Bird incentive that whoever pledges, no matter the sum, gets the Welcome To Springwell Pack. BUT... I don't feel like that's enough. Because you're all here, believing in me and in this project and if you pledge, you're helping build Safi's and Nai's world. Thus, let me present:
THE FOUNDER'S PASS
A beautiful digital or printed pass (if you pledge to the hardcover omnibus) showing you as one of the founders of Springwell. With your backer number on it.
Once I have the design ready for it, I'll post an update here.
HOW TO GET THE PASS You'll get the pass once you pledge to any tier if you followed the project before launch. That's it! Easy peasy!
BUT that's not all. If you're a returning backer from my Kickstarter years ago, you'll also get a digital (or printed) signed Thank You bookplate. All you have to do, is support any of the tiers.
That's it this time! If you want to see more of me, follow my Discord or Instagram. Or better yet: my newsletter. 🌈
So, I've been tinkering with this campaign, as some of you know. One of the things I did was accidentally pressing a fancy button. 😅 BUT I figured since you're all here I wanted to add two Early Bird Deals. One that everyone gets by simply backing with any pledge. And one for anyone wanting the Hardcover omnibus.
The campaign goes live SEPTEMBER 1st! This is just giving you the details ahead of time.

Is there anything you'd love to see as a reward or stretch goal? Comment below!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that whilst poking around the dashboard trying to get everything set up, I think I accidentally added some of the project followers to follow me as well.
I'm really sorry if I added you! I didn't realise that's what that button did. 🫣
I'd love for you to get to know a little bit of the people behind all the gorgeous art created for this project. And I thought I'd introduce you to one at a time with a little nugget of how I found them and how we started working together.

I met Thomas back in 2008 or so and we used to hang a little bit here and there. He's such a cool guy—we used to call him Vampire Thomas—because he literally channels Lestat. I remember talking to him about going from full time to part time work and I asked him how he managed financially with it, and he said something so profound to 20-something old me:
My spare time and freedom to do other things are worth more than that.
When I met my wife and we were able to look at me reducing my hours, that was one of the main factors in helping make the decision. I wasn't doing well at work being full time and whenever I have full time shifts these days, I'm knocked out for the next week. But my stress levels has decreased so much and I have more energy than if I'd be working full time. I'm in a much better place now that I don't have to work full time, and Thomas is honestly one of the reasons I dared take that leap.
Last year I ran into him again after not having seen him for many years. He was at Comic Con with his own booth and the second I saw his tarot card art I knew I wanted to commission him for The Wishing Well. His art is so detailed and beautiful and it goes really well with some of the witchy vibes of one of the subplots.
He's designed both the tarot cards for this project. They'll be available as both art prints and for the Digital Deluxe omnibus tier.
Also, these cards all have a few clues as to what's going to happen in The Wishing Well.

They're so gorgeous, are they not? Let me know what you think! Next time I'll introduce you to KillerLaurent who's hard at work designing the cover for book 1 & 2. Once I have the first cover, I'll be able to show you a mock up of the hardcover book.
Hey all! Thanks so much for signing up and following my campaign. I'm super stoked to have you here along for the ride. As promised, here's your digital reward. More fun stuff will turn up there, so keep this link around! Link is below in follower only content box. ⬇️
