Hey everyone!

I have a lot of announcements and information so make sure to read through everything relevant to you.

What's in this update:

Smoke test surveys have been sent out! These are a test survey that only went out to a few people to make sure everything is good before we send out the rest. 

And… everything looks good, so I will be sending out the rest of the surveys today!

The survey allows you to confirm and finalize your pledge, snag any additional add-ons you might be interested in, and set your shipping address/preferences for physical rewards. Once you receive your survey, make sure to fill it out ASAP.

Local pickup is an option if you live in the Boise area. If that describes you, then when you open your survey, instead of selecting a region/country, choose “Local Pickup”, and we can work that out directly with you so you don’t have to pay shipping.

If you come across any problems or have questions, feel free to send me an email at [email protected] so I can help you out!

Major editing is DONE!!! 🥳

The plan is to finish up the rest of the minor edits THIS upcoming week and begin formatting. Once formatting is complete, I will send everyone who ordered their ebooks those, and I will order proof copies of the physical books! If everything is good with those, then I’ll order the rest of the books and get them sent out with all the other goodies as soon as possible!

Due to personal reasons, the editor I had lined up was unable to edit Ødiri’s Board. I still wanted to make sure to get you the best book I could, so I secured additional beta readers, and my Dad helped edit the book  through both developmental drafts as well as doing line editing.

Reviews from early readers are coming in, and they unanimously love the book! Comments have been overwhelmingly positive! One reader raved about how Ødiri's Board read like a professionally published story. Multiple have mentioned how they could not put the book down, especially the last fifth, going into the ending 😁

I have to thank you for your absolute patience. The book you are going to receive will be the best book it can be!

I am planning on setting the wide release of Ødiri’s Board for mid-to-late November. All those who ordered ebooks will receive them before then, and we'll do our best to get you your physical copies as well. Print on demand companies can be unpredictable, but we’ll keep you updated.

I have an unfortunate announcement regarding the Conquest of Alaubi card game. 

Our chosen artist was initially delivering some good artwork, but unfortunately not all of it was up to the quality of work that I hoped to deliver to you. What's more, he disappeared after we had invested a lot of time and funding into the game, but before it could be completed.

This disappoints and frustrates me considerably.

As a result of all this, the game will not be happening at this time. All who purchased it will be given a refund for the game portion of their order.

Thank you for your understanding.

(Note that we still do have plans to develop a game, but we're putting that on hold for the time being to focus on production and other book business things.)

The last of the bookmarks are in! Aren’t they GORGEOUS? 😍

Thank you so much for your patience as we head into the last stretch here before we begin fulfillment.

I am so excited to get you all your books and goodies! 

Thank you all for joining me on this journey. You mean the world to me ❤️

Best,
Emma ❤️
