Hello everyone, and once more an ENORMOUS thank you to everyone for backing this project! The campaign ended last night with 222 backers and $10,050. AMAZING! 💜 That's twice the original goal. It makes me feel much more secure for the second half of this year, knowing I have the funds to focus on this book.

This update is to let you know what to expect going forward. This is my 9th crowdfunding campaign, so I know that setting expectations ahead of time is very helpful for making sure everyone feels good about the project. You can expect an update from me here (keep an eye on your email and whitelist BackerKit updates if you can) at the beginning of every month moving forward, if not more, letting you know where things are at.

Hopefully this will stay the same, but I would like to let you know that it's possible it will be moved back a bit. I'm currently struggling with some health issues--I have dynamic disabilities which change from week to week, month to month and can flare up unexpectedly. I may need to take some of July off to rest rather than diving right into finishing the final line edits for the book.

That said, I did plan the December date with some buffer in mind. As we get closer to fulfillment, I will let you know if there will be any delays. Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Along the way I will post more detailed updates letting you know exactly how each of these steps work, what to look for/expect, answer any questions, and help solve any issues. I'm here for you every step of the way and strive to provide the best customer service I can, even if my response times may be a bit slower than average!

I mentioned this in the last update, but if you would like more fun behind the scenes, process, progress, and otherwise fun posts about these books, you can join me on Patreon for FREE or a small monthly donation! Everyone gets the same posts, except for the very occasional special post for paid folks.

I post about once per week--lots of character art, excerpts, writing blogs, memes, and such things to enjoy, plus there's a whole year's worth of posts already there for you to go back through. You can get updates notified via email and/or your phone, via the Patreon app.

Once again, thank you SO MUCH for your incredible support. I'm beyond excited to share the next book in this series with you all. Aeronwy is my favorite character and it's finally time for em to be the star of the show! I hope you all are safe, loved, and well-fed in these trying times. I'll see you in the next update 💜.
