New Alien Paintings & Heads Up For The Surveys!
Hi everyone!
First order of business is to let you know that I should be getting the surveys out by the end of this month, that is the plan! Keep your e...
First order of business - There are still six of you who have not filled in your surveys! Please can you do so asap. Thank you :)
I hope you're all doing ok out there. I've finally finished the writing and I am now leaving it a couple of days and then I will go through it all and edit. Unfortunately this time I can't stretch to a professional editor, so I have to rely on me this time!
I've also been working on the layout of the book, getting the cover ready too! I'm so excited that it's nearly time to send to print, it feels like it's been ages since the campaign! I think this time of year always drags a bit, but the birds tell me that spring is coming which is always encouraging.
Anyway, with any luck I should have the books ordered (I hope) by the end of this week, if not they'll definitely be printing next week and the next time you hear from me will be an automated message to lock addresses which will give you 48hrs to change your address if you need to before I ship.
How is it the end of January already? Can whoever is in charge of this time thing slow it down at all?
Anyway, everything is on track, but I do need for some of you to fill in your surveys - there are only 12 of you remaining who haven't filled it in yet. Thank you to everyone who has done theirs already!
It looks like I will be able to send off to print around mid February so that means (depending on how long the printer takes) that I should be sending everything out by the end of Feb/early March as planned. I will give you fair warning when I'm sending to print as at that point I will be locking down addresses since I will be shipping as soon as the books arrive.
I also have an exciting bit of news which is that this year I will be making my fourth Strangehollow book - Savage Strangehollow! It's thrilling to be heading back to the enchanted forest again. I'm feeling quite 'dragony' so expect lots of dragons in this one, and other bitey beasts.
I hope that everyone has had a lovely break since I last wrote to you - some of you may have celebrated xmas, but whatever you were celebrating, I hope it was restful and cosy (or cool, if you're in the southern hemisphere!).
I am sending out the surveys this week, I am just getting used to how Backerkit works (as it's very different from Kickstarter) so please bear with me!
Before ALL the surveys go out, I will be sending out what Backerkit calls a 'smoke test' - it's sending to a small percentage of you to see if it all works efficiently before I send out ALL the surveys. If you get your survey and something seems off or confusing, do let me know as soon as you can.
I am hoping to be able to send out the books to be printed in late February which is exciting!
Take care all and keep your peepers open for the surveys!
Just one last update for you before I take my winter break.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN IN JANUARY FOR THE SURVEYS! You won't get your book without filling out your survey :)
I've got three aliens remaining to show you, one of which is not wanted, but is the sheriff who is responsible for pursuing these naughty characters.
His name is Sheriff Pongo Jibnits:
And the infamous Gorson Dust - Flunch breeder and smuggler of Wot weed and Flunch manure (he's also quite the plantsman and grows the best Wot weed in the universe). Flunch manure is a particularly potent fertiliser for Wot weed, which is why he leans towards Flunch husbandry.
Finally there's Han Zoff. I will keep his story to tell till you read it in the book!
