Finish line in sight!
I have four orders left on my desk - two to be delivered here in town, and two that have custom artwork that I still need to draw. I also have to get the coloring book add-ons o...
I can't believe it's been an entire YEAR since I finished fulfilling A Unicorn Key. This is still one of my favorite projects, EVER, and I love showing it off to people when I do shows in person. I am so grateful for all of you for helping me make it happen! I would love to hear your reviews now that you've had a chance to use (and hopefully love!) your decks.
I also wanted to reach out and let you know about my newest endeavor, which is funding on Kickstarter now! Fae Shifter Knights is a four-book series that I wrote originally as Zoe Chant. It follows four fae knights who were cursed into glass ornaments and banished from faery. Now, they have to find their fated keys and unlock their power to save our world! The knights are hilariously out of their depth on Earth, and there are adorable pets and just a splash of spice and danger. I'm bringing not only beautiful hand-embellished hardcovers to life, but also collectible resin ornaments and metal charms. I've been getting packages this week that are making me squeak and dance around:
Four ornaments!
Four metal charms! (These aren't polished yet!)
AND I've got audiobooks of the series (already finished!), narrated by Travis Baldree and Stephanie Németh-Parker!
You can check it out and pledge for amazing rewards here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ellenmillion/fae-shifter-knights?ref=951r6y
The ornaments won't be ready for THIS year's Christmas tree, because production is going to take some time, but if you're looking for holiday gifts for 2025, you can use the code BACKERKIT10 to get 10% off of anything at my new webpage! https://shop.ellenmillion.com/
Thank you for the space in your inbox! All my love, Ellen Million/Elva Birch

The project ends on Thursday at noon (Alaska time), and the first 100 backers get their copies sketched! <3

I finally got the last survey for A Unicorn Key and it is off to its owner! The project is completely fulfilled at this time and I'm so happy that I made my daughter take a dorky photograph for posterity:
The last package goes in the mail!
I have a limited number of decks left, if you missed the campaign, and you can find them at my webpage! (These are the standard edition, not the crowdfunded edition with extra cards.)
I'm diving right into my next art project...okay, I've actually been working on this one for years, too, but I have put up a Kickstarter page for it now!
Artistrix is another project of my heart, a collection of my best coloring pages, including eleven that have never been in print before, plus ten card layouts, four bookmarks, and a book tracker!
Artistrix! Coming soon!!
I am just waiting for my prototype copies and hope to launch in June (though it may be July, because life!).
Thank you again for your support of A Unicorn Key. I hope the cards have been a source of comfort and guidance for you - and I would love any testimony that you have to add to my order page!
We're four months past the campaign for A Unicorn Key, and I am still so grateful and happy that you all helped me make it happen! By now, all of you should have received your decks and extras and I hope they've brought you a lot of joy.
I am gathering testimony about the deck and would really love to know if you've found this a beautiful and useful addition to your collection! Please leave your comments at Backerkit or email me privately at [email protected]!
If you know someone still who needs this deck, I have the standard edition (which does NOT come with the bonus cards!) available on my webpage, along with coloring books and paperbacks. I also have spiral binding available for both the companion guidebook, and all of my coloring books! (Including for lefties!) I will be closing down ordering for the season on Dec 1, so get orders in while you can: https://ellenmillion.com
Remember to follow my next project on Kickstarter, for hardcovers, audiobooks, and resin ornaments for Fae Shifter Knights! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ellenmillion/fae-shifter-knights?ref=6bzf7a
And if you are looking for an amazing multi-artist Tarot deck, I highly recommend the new Nautical deck and companion oracle deck coming from 78Tarot! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kayti/78-tarot-nautical-new-wave
I have finished every order I have the information I need for! There is one lingering with uncleared funds, one survey that I haven't received, and one that I'm waiting for custom art direction, but everything else is not only mailed but probably also already delivered! I am very close to out of the bonus cards and the crowdfunded edition of the companion guide, so if you missed out, or want a second copy, or you know someone who desperately needs this deck, you'd better grab it soon.
If you got tracking for overseas and your link is showing an unknown status, try using your tracking number at THIS site: https://www.goglobalpost.com/track/
(I'm not sure why they weren't showing correctly through the USPS link!)
I would LOVE to hear from you if your order arrived safely and know which parts you enjoyed most. Have you done a few readings? Is the system intuitive?? I would ESPECIALLY like to know what your favorite card in the deck is, and which layout you like best (if you got the guidebook)!
If you missed out on the Patreon bonus card, I have a few extra, and they will go to new patrons at any tier until I run out.
What am I working on next?
I have a book coming out next week, A Bear in a Birdbath, which is a silly-fluffy menage romance book with a Fairy, a Troll, and a Cave Bear. Next on my writing desk is a prequel novella for Green Valley Shifters. (If you'd like to download a checklist of all my Elva Birch books, I have one you can print here!)
I'm also planning to put together a new coloring book before the holidays - this one a print on demand retrospective with the best of my previous four solo books and seven new pieces! I will also have spiral bound books available direct - including left-hand bound!
Bonus Picture
I went to a Viking Festival two weekends ago, bought an antler headdress that I didn't take off all weekend, and got to hold a gyrfalcon!!
Thank you so much for supporting A Unicorn Key! I hope you are wildly happy with it! <3
