We are funded and finished! Thank you so much to everyone for once again helping bring Space Wizard books to life. Here are all the book covers for the great new stories coming to you!

 What Happens Next:

 • Card Processing: BackerKit will now begin charging cards. Please make sure your payment info is up to date to avoid any issues.

 • Surveys: Backer surveys will go out as soon as I finish them up! I'll be setting up the pledge manager in the next few days and I'm hoping to get surveys out to you next week. The first book from this campaign, The Dragonscale Comb, releases on December 16th, so I want to get that to you as soon as possible.

Here's a little bit of the aftermath, and a bonus for you! (keep reading until the end for FREE STUFF...)

The Book Bazaar raised just $49 short of $51 thousand dollars with 1901 backers, and all 22 campaigns funded! That's really amazing for a first time collaboration, and owes a lot to Aimee Cozza, of The Lucky Machine, for keeping us all in line and making everything worked seamlessly. Rest assured, there will be another Book Bazaar...perhaps even sooner than you think!

As promised, here are the answers to the polls!

1) "Would you like to see a "Crossroads George" card game from Space Wizard, in the universe of Kristina W. Kelly's Tales of Trelvania?"
- The correct answer is yes, yes you would. Maybe this will happen in the next year?

2) "Where do you think the characters in Fractal Terminus are going, from looking at the cover?"
- Actually all of these answer are correct, in some way! (except for the turtles. Sorry, turtles)

3) "What new items do you think will be included in the final cover for Mothball Magic?"
- There were two correct answers to this one: "A toiletry bag" and "Laser eyes" (or glowing, at least)

4) "What's your favorite mythical creature from Yuro?"
- The correct answer is "Pegasus." I won't be taking questions.

5) "Which house of ancestor magic would you choose?"
- The winner of this one was "Travel Magic." I guess people want to get where they're going!

6) "What crystal would you have in your chest?"
- This one had a tie! We've got a lot of artists and outcasts in our crowd. Too true.

7) "What happened to the magic in Talio Rossa's world?"
- We must have had some readers of the first book! Two of the three correct answers tied. All three of these are, in some sense, true: "It exploded, and took out the capital city," "All the mages were killed. Magic still exists, but no one can use it," and "It's all trapped behind that blue wall of energy."

And, our bonus announcement! (Thanks for reading to the bottom)
Even though we didn't quite make it to the $8,000 stretch goal, we got pretty close, at $7,670! That's only about $300 off, and I usually have some extra funds come in with the surveys and addons.
So...
The Dissolution Trilogy will be getting new covers, AND you will all be getting an eBook copy with the new covers included (and maybe a digital print, we'll see what happens.). I have some concepts in mind, and I plan to work with one of two artists. I need to figure out who will work best for the scenes I have in mind. Here are the old covers, to compare. I still like these, but they're getting a little dated (they're from 2020).

That's it for now! I'll send out another update when I get the surveys ready, so keep an eye out!
