Project FAQ
Nope! This is the first in a trilogy.
Yes. The printer may shipped wrapped, just in case, on the survey I'll give you an option to get a signed dragon bookplate instead.
Yes. Even with the close door romance there are situations that may be triggering. I know Samantha was rescued from SA by a dragon. The full list of triggers will be distributed before copies are sent. If the trigger list is too much for you, I will issue a refund or allow trade for a different book I have in stock (I have science fantasy - Relic Saga or Crystals, Carrots & Cosmic Clues: Cozy Fantasy Series that may be available for physcial rewards) or a variety of e-books to choose from.
Yes, there will be romance. The open door will have spicy scenes. Both versions will have a science fantasy feel in addition to the romance.
• eBook (EPUB + MOBI (if you REALLY want) + PDF) • Paperback • Excusive Edition Hardcover
Yep! BackerKit’s pledge manager lets you build a buffet. I have add-ons for everything available. (If not email me!)
The hardcover will only be available on backerkit. I intend to have the next book in the trilogy available on backerkit for the next Book Bazaar and IF I have any left over hardcovers from book 1, they will be available in that campaign. Right now the plan is to just have the closed door softcover available thorugh retailers.

Not this time. Due to super scary and confusing rules, I can’t send physical rewards to the EU for this campaign.

Absolutely—right up until the we lock the survey which happens right before we ship.
If you just lost it and need a copy, I can help you. If you are abducted by aliens and don't fill out the survey before I order books, unclaimed pledges will be donated.

Drop a comment on the campaign or send a support request. :) I'm happy to answer your questions.
There is one book that has a closed door and spicy option. The book is bascially the same plot. Are there differences? Yes. Whatever emtional bonding that happened with the spice needs to happen on page on the closed door version. The backerkit books have backerkit only scenes and covers. (I might put a permutation for sale on my website, but that is way in the future)
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
