Dear fantastic backers of Ruby and the Off-Road Rally!

We’ve reached a major milestone in our publishing rally—our final printing invoice has been paid, and Ruby and Scout are now packed snugly in their cartons and revving up for the transoceanic trek to the East Coast of the U.S. 

It’s been a long and winding road since we crossed the starting line with our successful BackerKit campaign, but we’re now in the final stretch of this adventure! 

Like every rally, some twists and turns were expected, but we ended up staying a bit longer at some checkpoints than we bargained for.

Thanks to your patience and unwavering support, we are approaching the finish line—writing, editing, illustrating, and printing—without stalling out. 

And while our first book is cruising toward the checkered flag, we haven’t taken our foot off the gas.🏎️

🛠️ Book #2 is currently with Alvin in the illustration garage getting polished up,
✍️ And the text for Book #3 is getting a final tune-up before being sent to our editor.

Your cheers from the sidelines mean everything to us. 

Thanks for being part of the team that’s helping Ruby and Scout shift from a desert dream to reality.

We will send you another update when we have the beautiful books in hand. 

Be sure to check out the book preview if you haven't already: https://youtube.com/shorts/ZG6LRZKC75A

We can't wait! 🚚📚

 With gratitude and grit,
 —Lisa, Julie, and Alvin - your Rally Crew 💙
