Hi!
Books have come in and they look amazing! I just received everyone's info that I needed and I'm currently prepping everything to ship out within the next couple of days. After that, and once I get confirmation everything has been received, I'm going to lock this campaign so if you get a notice about that, don't worry about it. For those of you who backed the early bird, we're about to go into the hardcore editing phase of the second book. The goal is to get the sequel book published spring 2026. So expect the first part of Yours, Marnie Rayburn (hopefully) in January or February. This is going to be my last update here, so if you'd like to keep on top of new releases and get sneak peeks, I have a website, https://slayanemoybooks.wordpress.com/ where I'm posting 'primitive' versions of my books to garner interest and also will be updating on the projects I'm currently working on. I also have a YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@SlayaNemoy, where I talk about the publishing industry and writing process and rants about my frustrations with both. Thank you so much for bringing this project to life, and keep in touch!

Hi!
Thank you everyone who filled out your surveys or otherwise got back to me. I have already sent out the PDFs for those of you who ordered those and the print books are currently on their way to me. I expect to get them some time next week (assuming Thanksgiving doesn't delay things too much) and then I'll start packaging and shipping them out first or second week of December. For those who haven't gotten back to me at all, I highly encourage you to reach out so you can receive your books/s by Christmas! Thank you everyone for supporting my campaign! I'm happy everything has gone smoothly so far and hopefully there won't be any snags on the timeline. 

Hi,
I've been made aware not all of you may be receiving these updates as they may be going to spam folders. That's okay for now, I'm gearing up to send out the surveys and I wanted to let you all know that Backerkit will ask for your credit card information at the end of the survey. Just a note: I will NOT be charging shipping or taxes and so you won't see any extra charges. However, if you prefer not to put your information in again, please contact me at [email protected] with the email you would like me to send your PDF to. If you bought any physical books, tell me how you would like to receive them/what address to ship them out to.  I've already received some responses, so those who have don't worry about any of this. If I don't hear from you either by the survey or reaching out to my email within the next ten days I'll try to get in touch. I still plan to get everything out before the holidays. 

Hi!
I hope you all see this, I'm getting ready to send out the surveys with the information I need. Backerkit has it's own way of doing things I did not quite anticipate, so things may be a little bit strange. I have survey questions where I'll be asking for shipping and email addresses, and also backerkit might collect those as well, but I am going to go off the surveys as I plan to ship these out through my own means. Shipping was calculated in the pledge levels so I will not be asking for any more funds. 
For those of you overseas or in Canada, I will send your books directly from the printer so as to cut out shipping and customs costs. 
For anyone in the Seattle area, if you would prefer to get your book in person, contact me at [email protected] and we can arrange for a pickup, once those come in. 
The funds should arrive sometime next week, and once they do I will immediately put in the print order so as to get these books out ASAP. 

Hi!
Sorry for the late update, was a busy weekend, but the campaign is over and we finished strong! I spent some time going over all the PDFs and getting those ready to send out, and I'm currently waiting on a proof copy of the book to check some printing details, but once the funds come in I'll immediately put in that order and get everything ready to ship. Keep an eye out for emails about your rewards, I still plan on getting those to everybody before the holidays!
Also the first part of Yours, Marnie Rayburn is in the editing phase and my goal is to get that finished by the end of January and out to all you early backers, with the full book to come soon after. Keep an eye out for updates on that. And you haven't already, check out my YouTube channel and discord.
