Good morning! CALL THE STORM is officially happening! <3
First thing today, I got to do that most joyous of tasks: changing this campaign image to "JUST FUNDED!"
I am so happy I can hardly find the words, only an Excited Vibrating you can probably feel on... the moon. This means that this book, third in my first/SO important series, is going to be in the world, and bigger and better than I possibly could have done alone.
THANK YOU. SO MUCH.
And we still have half a month to go! I'm confident we can reach at least one of those stretch goals, and possibly more, which would just be incredible icing on the wonderful... cake you have given me!
10 years ago, on October 11th, 2016, I published CHAMELEON MOON (second edition)
...And became the author I wanted so badly to be! Nobody does this alone, and I'm so grateful to my wonderful family and book friends who helped make it happen.
It was one of the best days of my life, and kept getting better as I joined my wonderful writing community of friends and colleagues, and I can't ever say how happy I am to be here. And that you're all still here too. It's been an often-rough stretch of Unprecedented Times, but amazing as well, and we're getting through it together, with the power of stories and each other.
Chameleon Moon: stubbornly hopeful queer superheroes; all 4 hardcover books
Secondly:
Sorry for the long silence - a couple days after launch, I got hit super hard with a monstrous cold which laid me flat for ten entire days, out of the blue. DIdn't expect that, but I'm back now, and it's time to rock to the finish line...
Which really, really isn't that far away at all!
As of now, we have only $550 to go, we're about 82% funded (!!!)
And we can absolutely do this by the end of the month, and then some. I'm still really optimistic and happy with how it's gone so far.
That said, thank you so much for your patience here, and if you have any friends (or enemies?) who might like these books, please spread the word. I'm going to be as obnoxious as possible!
Good morning, it is Day 4, and yesterday we passed the threshold of 2/3rds funded! This is going incredibly, and I'm so, so happy and grateful. <3
Also, since someone (thank you, Rain of Feathers!) was kind enough to tell me, I have added a PDF version of the Un-Dead short story to the bonus folder, since EPUB might not work for everyone. If you still can't open it, tell me!
Also, I can't believe I didn't do this (thank you again), because I have many audio processing difficulties and need subtitles/lyrics on always - the song LET THE RAIN FALL now has lyrics in the bonus folder! I'll put them below as well, so you can follow along and understand what the heck I'm saying!
Thank you for being here so, so much. Onwards!!

LET THE RAIN FALL lyrics:
Let the rain fall
Let the sky open over me
Let the storm rage
We're calling it home (x2)
Here we go again!
Any minute, I can feel it coming
There's a charge in the air, the fires are burning,
Everything is going to change
We know how it ends!
We're not supposed to get a happy ending,
Got a new one, good one, change our story
Like the moon, a brand new phase
Forever we're singing
They're not listening
(CHORUS)
No more time to lose!
I know, I know, the fire's still burning
It's a bad one, hot one, scorches everyone
But we all are drops of rain!
No more fucks to give!
All we gotta do is tell our story
It's a good one, old one, told forever
When the flood ends, we'll remain
They tried to ignore us,
Now they're listening
(CHORUS x2 modulate on 2nd)
RADIO ANGEL WITH MEGAPHONE:
"Good morning, Parole!
This is your! Radio! Angel!
We are seeing just, an unprecedented level of bullll-shit!
But like we say, everything's going to be okay and that's a promise!
Good morning everyone! I woke up to 18 amazing backers (!!!) and the entire thing 1/3 OF THE WAY FUNDED. In one night!!
You're all absolutely amazing and I appreciate it so, so much! I think everybody has some anxiety leading up to their campaign start, especially since anxiety is kind of my existence baseline, but it's so, so good to see that it was unfounded! THANK YOU.
A couple PSAs:
If you've already grabbed the digital bonuses or any other "instant access" reward, you might get an update that the link has changed. This is because I, in my infinite wisdom, accidentally made the Dropbox links "edit" and not simply "view/download"! (Thank you, Ryan!)
So most digital files have just been uploaded to BackerKit, where you should be able to just download/extract them directly. (The exception is the bonus folder; that is still on dropbox because it's too big and juicy to upload here!) If you can't access them, let me know and I'll get them to you one way or another.
Secondly, a couple new FAQs have been added, thanks to questions some of you have sent in! Hopefully they help, and if anyone has any more questions, please ask and I'll answer/add them to the FAQ too!
THANK YOU so much again. <3 I'm so, so happy to see that you're all happy, and excited about this as I am.
