Credit Card Charges!
Hello Stitchbinders!
Cards were charged yesterday. You should've received an email letting you know. There were a few that didn't get charged. I hope you get the right card ...
Chains Of Deceit is off to the editor! Woot. She should have it back by the end of this week. I will work on edits on the first week of March and then we'll talk about distribution. I was hoping to be further along in the process, but some family stuff came up. Family comes first. But things are great now, family-wise, so we're off to the races.
Amended timelines
Ebooks: 2nd week of March. Everyone who pledged for the levels with physical books as part of the campaign will also receive the ebook. You can start reading if you want before your nice hard copy arrives.
Paperbacks and hardcovers: Will be sent to printer. My printer is in UK so depending on shipping and printing times, I'm hoping to have them back by about a month and a half. It could be longer. (One never knows with international shipping.) Then we'll proceed with fulfillment. I'll ship paperbacks first, then case laminates, then the clothbound. Thank you for your patience!!
In the meantime, all the swag ordered has arrived safely, except the vellum inserts which will be ordered shortly.
I can't wait for you all to read this book! It will be worth the wait!
Thank you again for your continued support and patience!
If you have any questions, just reply to email or reply with a comment to the thread.

Things are moving here! I am in the last stages of revision and I AM LOVING how Chains Of Deceit is coming along. it feels bigger and more meaningful than my original plan.
I should be turning the book into my editor this coming week. She's efficient and I should have edits done by the following week. I have a conference and a wedding that next week, but then the ebooks should be ready to go by mid-March, slightly behind schedule. The physical books will be sent the formatter and printer. I'll update you with timelines but I'll send the ebooks so you can start reading! (Chains Of Deceit is getting to be rather long 116k words!)
What's next? I've been charging cards for taxes in TX and any add-ons added during the survey period.
Shipping info is coming soon. Now that I have addresses, I can get an idea of the shipping and handling costs. And we can start collecting shipping fees. (if you are local, you can pick up at my house). And if you live in Utah and want to wait until May, I'll be at Storymakers which is open to the public this year for signing! You can save on shipping by picking it up there.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate each one of you. Because of that reader-author bond, I feel like I have to make every book the best it can be! So thank you for being here and inspiring me to grow and stretch as an author!
I am attaching a poll for ideas for the next crowdfunding campaign.
Thank you for filing out your surveys! Orders are locking today! Only seven people haven't filled out their surveys, but I know all of them personally so I'll be sending texts to those people. (One of them is my husband. Another is my mom!)
I've been madly buying all the add-ons for our campaign. Stickers and pins have arrived. The die-cut bookmarks are shipped!
Revisions are going really well! I'm so excited for you to read this book!
Shipping will be updating closer to distribution. So look out for that. All non-US orders will have books drop-shipped from their location. All small things like stickers I will mail with a regular stamp so not a big deal. There may be some exceptions, in which case, I'll reach out to you personally!
Surveys are going out! Check your emails! It may take a few days for them all to go out as I'm sending them in batches. IMPORTANT: You only have two weeks to fill out surveys!
Shipping will NOT be collected at this time! Feel free to buy some of the add-ons if you missed them during the live campaign. I have already received all the acrylic pins and stickers. I'll be posting pictures of merchandise after the holidays.
