Hello, hello! I hope you all had a fun Halloween! Mine was fun because it's the day most of the books arrived! I now have all the paperbacks and almost all of the hardcovers in my possession. The poor UPS guys who had to carry the heavy boxes up the stairs to my apartment complex must be thanked. Have some bad phone photos:
stacks and stacks of boxes in my kitchen

She's a THICK boy!! Five hundred fifty pages in paperback!!
TFTS hardcover edition!

I haven't shown this publicly yet, because it was sort of a last minute thing, but both the hardcover and paperback feature these BEAUTIFUL antique borders at the start of several chapter/story-within-the-story sections 🥰😍✨!! They came out AMAZING. Sadly they're not in the ebook version, as this sort of formatting in epub is still beyond me.
Since everything is going so well, and for logistical reasons, I'm going to start shipping a week earlier than planned, which means some of you get your books earlier! 😊💜
Current Schedule:
Friday November 21 - Addresses lock
Monday November 24 - Shipping starts, ebooks distributed digitally
My Shipping Process - a few notes
Shipping should take me about two weeks total; I do it all myself and thus can only do so many per day.
I begin with the easiest orders first (ex: a single paperback) and work my way up to bigger, more complicated orders; orders with all three painted hardcovers are likely to be last as the book 1 and 2 books are arriving later.
If you have digital rewards, you will receive an email from BackerKit when they're ready for you to download. Ebooks and bonus content PDFs should go out on November 24; short stories may come a bit later. If you don't see it when you think you should, check your spam!
When your order ships, you will receive an email from BackerKit with tracking info.
You can also log in to Backerkit at any time to check the status of your rewards and/or find your tracking number.
My packages are discreet and don't have any sort of obvious queer branding on them. The return address is to "Numinous Spirit Press."
Non-US backers are responsible for all and any customs/tariffs/fees your country may impose on your package.
I will make later updates with information on what to do if your package is lost/damaged/stolen.
Other Important Notices
If you need to change your address, do so before November 21 by logging in to Backerkit! You will receive a warning email on November 21 to make sure your address is correct.
If you have concerns about the timing of shipping (ex: you're moving around this time) and need your rewards held or expedited, please contact me here.
Join me on Patreon for Free for more fun behind the scenes and bonus content!
I know I say this a lot, but it's because I'm passionate about it! Patreon is a subscription service/app that lets you support indie creators directly in exchange for exclusive posts. Recently they introduced FREE memberships, so it's basically become my replacement for the social media I no longer use. I post every Monday, and you can receive notifications on your phone (with the Patreon app) or in your email so you don't miss them!
