Between Stars & Shadows is exploring the space between science fiction and fantasy (and everywhere else). The best stories may happen at the edge of things: where the known bleeds into the strange, the uncanny has a familiarity about it, and where shadows speak when the moon listens.

I received a printed proof video at the beginning of July, and all the extra time it took to get everything squared away with the printer looks to have been worth it.
Now, I am just waiting for them to cross an ocean.
Seriously, I'm so sorry.
Sorry for the delay, I am working on finalizing the zine and I've just had a bit of a rough start to my Spring which has led me to fail reaching my personal deadline for finishing my comic. So, I've made the decision to pull my comic from the anthology.
I am probably a third of the way done with the comic and I have not had much energy to work on it between other obligations, so to avoid further delays in production, I am going to finish up formatting for the zine without including it and I'll plan to release my comic digitally for backers once it's complete.
Currently, I estimate having the zine sent to the printer by next week, one last proof check, and then on to print! I'll update again when I have a better estimate of when I expect books to be in hand. :)
Just a quick update: zine proofing wraps up this week; I am working on finishing up my comic so the placeholder in the proof doesn't look so empty, and then the zine will be going to print!
Here are some of the goodies that have already arrived:
Pearl chibi princess keychains
Art foil cards
hair clips (larger than I expected)
Here we are in 2026, So I wanted to post a quick update on the progress of the project. I'm pleased to report almost all the merchandise has arrived, the zine production is a little bit behind where I was hoping to be, we're still in the process of editing and proofing the book while I work on my comic, so while there's a chance books may be here in February, it's looking like rewards will likely start shipping out in March.
I'm going to work on taking photos of some of the items, I'll post an update with those pictures (the art foil cards are amazing) soon.
