Project Update: Thank You, Holiday Chaos, and What’s Next

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for funding this project and for sticking with me through the wild finish line. Life decided to throw a few extra side quests my way right as I was up against a book deadline, but I did squeak that book in on time—victory dance achieved.

Because of that timing, this project will go a little quiet until January. I have two books that are ahead of this one in the production queue, and one of those is in the home stretch now. Once that’s wrapped, I’ll shift more focus onto this world and have a clearer timeline to share with you.

A quick note on logistics: surveys will not go out until early next year. That way, I can confirm details and make sure I’m asking you for everything I truly need—once, instead of in ten tiny annoying follow-ups.

In the meantime, I’m so grateful you’re here helping bring this story (and its dragons) to life. Wishing you a warm, restful, and happily book-and-dragon-filled holiday season.

— Claudia / CJ Blood

Project Update: Less than a week left with the dragons

Hi friends,

We’re officially in the final stretch—less than a week left in the Dragon Regime: Reckoning campaign!

First and most important: thank you.

Whether you jumped in for the ebooks, grabbed the fancy hardcovers, or are quietly lurking and cheering from the shadows, you’re the reason this book gets to exist.

A quick happy update:

The campaign structure is the same as before—no surprise changes, just steady progress toward our goals.
All current tiers, add-ons, and stretch goals are still live. You’re good to keep hoarding exactly the way you planned.

If you’ve been meaning to:

Upgrade your pledge
Add on an extra edition
Or finally hit “back this project” after stalking the page for two weeks

…this is your gentle nudge from your friendly neighborhood dragon wrangler that now’s the time.

Holiday note ❤️

For my friends in the United States:
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! I’m incredibly grateful you’ve chosen to spend your time, attention, and money on my strange, dark, dragon-filled stories.

For everyone outside the US:
I hope you’re having a cozy, low-chaos week with a good beverage and an even better TBR pile.

Thank you for being here with me in this world of bonds, betrayal, and dragons. I can’t wait for you to meet Samantha, Dezi, and the rest of the cast properly on the page.

With so much gratitude (and just a little dragon smoke),
Claudia

Project Update: Crawling Back to the Land of the Living (…and We Funded!)

Hi all,

I’ve spent the last 3+ days down with the crud. Zero stars, do not recommend. I even missed one of our group events!

The wild part? While I was out, you all helped push the campaign over the funding line.

Woot!

Thank you so much for backing, sharing, and generally being awesome.

Project Update: We hit just under 50% funded on Day One

Thank you.

Whether you pledged, shared the link, or just quietly cheered from the sidelines, you helped this strange, dragon-haunted MMF book take its first real step into the world.

This story has lived in my head and in messy documents for a long time. Seeing so many of you show up for it this quickly means more than I can put into words.

Help Me Choose What’s Next

Since we’re already halfway there, I’d love your help steering what comes next:

Poll: Next Stretch Goal
I’ve put up a poll so you can help choose which stretch goal we aim for next. If you have Opinions™ about what would make this book even cooler, this is your moment.
Poll: Interior Art
There’s also a poll about interior art—what kind of art or embellishments you’d most like to see inside the book. Your votes will shape how we prioritize those upgrades.

You can vote in both polls right on the campaign page.

Want More Dragon Chat?

I also did a segment about Dragon Regime: Reckoning on the Book Bazaar stream on 11/20. If you like seeing me talk about the book (and let some nerd out), you can catch the link from the campaign.

Early Backer Specials

If you’re reading this during the early window, the early backer specials are still live. If you know someone who was “going to check it out later,” this is their friendly nudge-from-a-dragon.

Thank you for being here at the beginning—and for helping shape what this book becomes
