I wanted to stop in with a quick reminder for anyone who has been following Dragon Origins: Norse Gods of War but hasn't pledged yet.

Our 48-hour launch bonus ends tonight.

If you back during the first 48 hours with a qualifying physical pledge, you'll receive the exclusive early-backer bonus with your rewards.

After tonight, that bonus will no longer be available.

But more than anything today, I want to say thank you.

Thank you, Flame Nation, for showing up. For being part of all that we're creating together.

This community we're building continues to grow as more of us gather around the campfire, share stories, awaken dragons, and step into these worlds together.

We're already at more than $4,100 with 36 Dragon Keepers, and seeing so many of you step into Nanna and Baldr's story with me has meant more than I can say.

And we're only at the beginning.

There are still dragons waiting to awaken, secrets to uncover, and plenty more of this world that I'll be sharing with you throughout September.

For now, if you've been watching the campaign and planning to join us, this is simply your reminder:

Thank you for gathering around this campfire with me. 🐉🔥

Yours in dragon fire,
Tina

Flame Nation, THANK YOU.

The doors opened, you came charging through, and Dragon Origins: Norse Gods of War is officially funded!

That means this book is happening.

Nanna's story.

Baldr's story.

The journey from Ancient Carthage to Asgard.

And the war that would ultimately give birth to dragons.

You are helping me bring all of it to life.

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to watch those first pledges come in and recognize so many familiar names alongside readers joining us for the first time.

And we're not finished.

Because now...

We're already on our way toward our first stretch goal!

When we reach 25 backers, we'll unlock an exclusive Dragon Origins digital wallpaper for campaign backers.

And this one is particularly special to me.

The artwork was created by my magnificent daughter specifically for this campaign. ❤️🐉

I can't wait for you to see it.

Every new backer brings us one step closer to awakening that first dragon and unlocking even more for our campaign.

So if you know someone who loves ancient gods, forbidden romance, epic fantasy, or, naturally, DRAGONS, now is a wonderful time to invite them into our little hoard.

And for anyone who hasn't joined the hoard yet, remember that physical pledges made during the first 48 hours receive our exclusive Early Dragon bonus!

And if you've backed one of my campaigns before, there's another thank-you waiting for you. ❤️

🐉 Returning backers who choose a physical pledge will receive the exclusive “I Helped Awaken the Dragons” sticker.

And yes...

🔥 We're funded.

🐉 The first dragon is stirring.

⚔️ And our journey has only just begun.

Thank you for showing up for this story and for me.

Now let's awaken some dragons. 🔥🐉

Tina
