We have some new add-ons! The new ones are:
Theo's Tea Sampler ($25) - a selection of teas enjoyed by Theo and his friends, both human and Fair
Book cover art prints - 5x7" ($12) - These are 5"x7" double-sided art prints, with the cover art of one of the three books on one side and a lovely quote from the same book on the other side. The add-on includes one of each of the three prints.
We're getting close to unlocking the art of the Fair Lands! That art will be available as digital downloads for every backer, as well as physical art prints for $9 (5"x7") or $25 (8"x10"). Since I don't have the art yet, please enjoy this Mr. Darcy meme.
This is a tiny hint about something in The Frost and the Flame. Just a tiny hint.
Please share this campaign with a friend (or ten friends!) so we can unlock this gorgeous art and see what's next! (There will definitely be mugs at some point, as well as other awesomeness.)
Happy reading!

At almost 90% funded, success is in sight! So what do we have for stretch goals?
At $4000, we'll get character art!
This is really a heart-felt thank you gift from me to you. EVERYONE who pledges at any level will be able to get the downloads of the character art!
Everyone with a total pledge (including all add-ons in any combination, but excluding shipping) of over $50 will also get the character art as vellum page overlays (yes, plural) for no extra $.
Smaller pledges will be able to add on the vellum overlays for $15, with no additional shipping within the US and super low shipping outside the US (no extra if you're already getting books, minimal if the overlays are the only physical perk being shipped). I'll add that option to the perks very soon!
I've gotten comments back from two of five beta readers, and they LOVE it!
Thanks for sharing in this project with me!
Happy reading!

Hurray! The audiobook is fully funded with over a week left to go!
Can we hit the character art stretch goal?
I've had a few questions about pledges and why certain perks aren't showing up as options, and I figured it out!
Physical pledges (like the hardcover) can add on physical products (like the letters in the mail) and/or digital products. Digital pledges (like an ebook) can only add on digital products (like more ebooks, audiobooks, etc)
If you start with a digital-only reward tier, only digital/no shipping required add-ons will be visible to you. If you select a reward tier with physical perks, you can select from any add-ons, digital or physical. So if you want the swag pack, for instance, and you want everything else digital, you will have to select the swag pack as your reward tier and add everything else in the add-on selection.
So can you change your pledge? Yes! Here's how to do it:
Adjust your pledge amount or switch to a different reward tier (changing reward tiers automatically updates the pledge amount).
You'll also have the option to add any add-on rewards.
This also means that shipping the vellum pages in our stretch goal will be even easier - there will be no shipping for anyone! If you select only digital rewards, you'll get them as a digital download only. If you have a physical reward over $50, you'll get them for no additional money. If your pledge is under $50, you can add on the vellum prints for $15 with free shipping. I have added the vellum prints as an add-on, but note that they will not actually be feasible until we hit that $4000 stretch goal.
THANK YOU ALL so much! I'm so excited to share this story with you!

We're just over 70% funded! Hurray! I'm checking out the pricing on some of the items I'd like to do on stretch goals, and it looks REALLY possible to do! If we can get to $4000, we'll be able to unlock our first stretch goal (which I will reveal when we hit our main funding goal). I'm really excited about it!
