Project closes TOMORROW.
Just a reminder: Project officially closes TOMORROW. If you have NOT completed your surveys yet, I will be emailing you directly. If I do not hear anything by September 15th, your pledges will be put to good use. I hate to do that, but I have to close this out as I prepare for The Book Bazaar 2026.

The Dark Side of Super is released, and this campaign is closing September 1st!
Hi!
This campaign is closing down now that the book is released, and almost all goodies and swag have been bundled up and delivered. I am preparing to launch The Forgotten Princess as part of The Book Bazaar 2026.
Because we're nearly at the next campaign, I am going to close this one out as of September 1st. What's that mean? If you're one of the few people who hasn't completed your survey yet, you have until August 31st to do so. If you do not, you'll further have until September 15th to reach me directly to handle shipping/etc. through me.
After that, the signed, physical copies of The Dark Side of Super will be put to donation and/or a give-away, I am not sure. I don't want someone to not get their rewards, but I can't sit on these nor can I ship them without completed surveys/shipping costs.
Either way, thank you all again for the support and love you showed this project, and I hope to see you back soon!
Looking forward to more adventures with you awesome heroes!

Up, up, and away!
Yesterday, I sat down and completed packing up and shipping for all of the goods going out for surveys completed already. The line of people at the post office gave me some serious side eye as I wandered in and dropped off two bags full of packages. But, barring the six stragglers we have on surveys (which, if you need help or need links to get your survey, please let me know!), we're pretty much fulfilled,
At this point, if you completed your survey and your card was charged, and you're getting physical goods? Those are out the door and barring the few outside the US, most should arrive by next weekend. For the ones outside of the US, those may be 1-3 weeks, depending. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Digital goods were also already distributed. If you backed at a tier for those, you should've received links to BookFunnel for both.
That's pretty much it. We're nearing the finish line on wrapping up this campaign. From the bottom of my heart, from the depths of my dark side, I thank you all again for helping to bring this audio book to life. If you missed out on backing it during the campaign? Fret not!
It's now widely available!
Check it out on Libro.FM, and support an indie platform/bookstores!
Head over to Kobo Plus and subscribe or buy it there!
Toss an Audible credit to your author and listen to it there.
Pick it up on Google Play.
And many more!

Shipping Charges are HERE!
I have sat down and sorted through shipping charges and have filled out everything so I can start charging cards. I should've had this done up front and I apologize about that! This is my first time doing this and it's definitely been a learning experience.
That said, here's the breakdown:
Outside of the US, charges will be anywhere from $15 to $40 dollars, depending on the chart available here:
https://www.pirateship.com/simple-export-rate
Based on that. and weights of The Dark Side of Super/The Backwards Knight, it's going to be no more than $23 to go where those rates support.
Inside of the US, most charges are anywhere from $7 to $15 depending on add-ons and weight.
These charges will be coming within the next day or two so I can start shipping stuff out SOON! Just wanted to give everyone a heads up: If you are getting physical goods, I am charging you soon.
Also, those who added add-ons also will see a charge come through for that.

UPDATE - Shipping charges
Hey friends! Sorry for yet-another-update, but I wanted to make you aware: those of you who ordered physical goods? Shipping charges are charged after the campaign, and I now have everything set up for those to go through here.
I've submitted my shipping fees to Backerkit and I'm working through Pirate Ship so it definitely cuts some money off of how much postage costs, for the most part.
For those not in the US, I've also opted into Pirate Ship's "Simple Export" plan to make this as inexpensive as I can.
That's it for this update. The physical goods and swag are coming soon!

Most of the surveys are done and Digital Goods are distributed!
IF you've completed survey and IF you've backed at a tier to get digital goods, those have now been distributed. Both the Ebook and Audio Book are being distributed via BookFunnel, and everyone should have codes for those who backed at those tiers.
If you run into any snags or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask!
That said, right now I'm prepping shipping charges for all of the locked orders/surveys completed that have physical goods on them. I'll be putting those charges in today or tomorrow, hopefully, so that last step can be done. Once those are paid? I can start shipping physical goods! YAY!
We're almost done with this campaign and I just want to say: thank you. Again. A million times over. Thank you. The audio book is better than I could ever have dreamed, I met an awesome narrator I plan to work with again, and all of you made this happen. Thank you.
Seriously. Treat yourself to something special today. I'll allow it.
