πŸŽ‰ What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

Edit
H is for HEA or GTFO


This is Romance. Give us the HEA.

It's HEA or GTFO. Any diehard romance lover will tell you it's all about the HEA. The happy-ever-after. We're wrapping up our campaign with the HEA.

A is for Alpha header


If A Means Alpha...

Then what does B mean?

There's only one way to find out.

Join me in this fun, quirky pin project and find out more letters.
Edit
header, with text reading: A is also for about the project


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.

Naturally, A for Alpha came to mind first.

Edit
D is for designed by humans


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.
Edit
E is for Extras

C'mon... who doesn't love extras?

And FYI? If you're a reader of my books? These extras might really appeal to you!

The add-ons

mini pins showing chibis, a pair of vampire fangs, and wings


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:

You can buy all five pins for $35 or you can buy the pins separately!
