The idea for the "ABCs of Romance" came to me just this past year, a fun, quirky idea based on the various tropes, archetypes and subgenres of romance.
Something I love about Backerkit is that they wholeheartedly support human-created projects.
This project is a fully human concept, with no AI input. I thought up the concept myself and searched through numerous artists to find the right ones to bring those concepts to life. Their art is human-crafted, without AI input.
And FYI? If you're a reader of my books? These extras might really appeal to you!
The add-ons
By pledging to one of the main tiers, you can access the add-ons, including the mini pin add-ons. The collection features pins depicting art from my most popular series:
The Colbana Files
The Hunters
Grimm's Circle
The Pretern Wars
I Choose the Bear
You can buy all five pins for $35 or you can buy the pins separately!
