Project Update: More Eternal Library fun while you wait!

Hi everyone! Once again, thank you for all your generous support! We're currently ONE backer away from 200, and that's amazing! 💕

Since this book isn't due to be out until the end of 2025, I thought I'd invite you all to join me over on Patreon FOR FREE to enjoy more Eternal Library Series content while you wait! Yes, that's right, freeeee ✨ (or a small monthly donation, if you are so inclined, which unlocks the occasional extra special post).

It’s been a little over a year since I got back on Patreon, and I’ve been having so much fun over there! If you aren’t there already, it’s where I currently post new art, story excerpts, writing blogs, memes, and other things that used to go on social media before I quit those platforms.

I post about once a week, and you can get notifications/updates either through your phone with the Patreon app or in your email inbox.

Hope you all are having a good start to your summer! 💕

Project Update: FUNDED! + Painted Edges Hardcover Sold Out

Hi everyone! Welcome to the TFTS campaign on BackerKit (thanks to BackerKit for being awesome and having great tools that I've come to prefer over Kickstarter), and THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for funding this project in just FOUR HOURS!

I'm so blown away and thankful from the bottom of my heart that you all are so excited for the next book in this series. I absolutely can't wait to get them out to you later this year so you can enjoy all 550+ pages of magical crafting trauma healing fantasy goodness.

Update on Painted Edges Hardcovers

I have received several inquiries about the sold out single copies of The Flame That Sings in hardcover with the hand-painted edges. I knew this would happen since in the book 2 campaign, I sold a TON of them--they were way more popular than I expected!

Unfortunately, I will not be opening more slots for this reward tier. The reason I limited them this time is because they are extremely time/labor intensive to make. One book takes about 20 minutes to paint (even considering I paint like 6 of them at a time), which means the 65 painted copies I have available across tiers will take me twenty hours to make. As a disabled person who only works 20 hours a week, that's, um, that's a full work week for me!

Some folks have asked if it's possible to get some kind of waiting list to nab copies from dropped pledges. I don't currently have the ability to create such a list, but you're welcome to check back on the campaign page from time to time to see if any have become available.

At the end of the campaign, if there are any painted hardcovers left over, I might make them available during the post-campaign checkout as add-ons or upgrades from the regular TFTS hardcover. That said, this is absolutely not guaranteed due to how popular they are, and I suspect if there are any there might be like...six, and they'll go just as fast.

Thank you so much for your understanding on this matter! I know that it's super disappointing for so many folks who have the painted book 1 and 2 to miss out, and it's absolutely on me for selling too many of those in the previous campaign (It took me a full month of doing nothing else but painting those to get them done...regretti spaghetti). I'm cutting it off now before we get to book 4 and 5 as well, phew!

If you are the crafty type, however, I do have a mini tutorial on how to do the painted edges for TFTS on YouTube! If you want to buy the normal hardcover and DIY the edges to match your collection, I heartily recommend giving it a shot, it's fun--and then you'll have the supplies and skills to paint any and all of your book collection, hehe.

Again, thank you all SO MUCH for all of your amazing support! You're amazing!
