Apart from the six people who haven't filled their survey (*cough*), ALL the books are on their way! Just dropped them all at the post office. Uk peeps you should get them in a couple of days (I sent them 48) and everyone else, well, it could take anything from 4 days to 4 weeks depending on how the post is feeling! Hopefully not that long. Please be patient!
I have tracked all the books but I haven't put the tracking numbers etc into backerkit as this is just time I don't have unfortunately - BUT, if something doesn't show up in a few weeks then it will be easy to look it up and find out where it is :)
Thank you all for supporting my silly aliens, it really looks great in person, I'm so thrilled!
I've received notification that the books will arrive this Friday (although it can sometimes be a day later or earlier), so next week I will be packing up the books and hopefully have them all shipped by end of next week. I've already got the postcards in and also the magnets, they all look so fun together, I really can't wait to get the book!
There are still six of you who have not filled out your survey - I can't send you the books without your details so please do so asap! You will have got a reminder email. Thank you!
I will send my next update when I've got the books packed up so you can know to keep an eye out for your packages around the globe!
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.
