Project Update: A Festive Update: Art, Progress, and Holiday Cheer!

Salutations and Felicitations, Wanderers!  

We have some delightful news to brighten your day! First off, we’re thrilled to share some art sketches for the book. The marvellously talented Dozerdraws is hard at work illustrating all the chapter title art, and we’re expecting the final pieces to be completed by early January. Keen-eyed backers might even spot their custom commission portrait in these sketches! 


Flabbergated is Back in stock!
Just a quick note to let you all know that we have in our hands the reprint of Flabbergasted - now available to purchase from our store. If you ordered Flabbergasted in the mystified campaign, it will be shipped out with Mystified and not earlier. 

Next, back to writing and layout progress!
Next, on to writing and layout progress! Since our last update, we’ve assembled a group of beta readers to review our completed chapters and provide invaluable feedback. We’re pleased to report that the first three chapters are now fully finalised, laid out, and sent off to our beta readers.

We must admit, the writing process is taking a bit longer than anticipated. As we lay out the book, the text often needs adjusting, and new ideas have a habit of sneaking in. Still, we’re pleased to say we’re on track to send the book to print in the first quarter of next year.

Finally, we’d like to wish you all a very happy holiday season! We’ll be taking a well-earned break from next week until the 2nd of January, after which we’ll dive back in with renewed vigour.
Cheerio for now, and may your holidays be utterly jolly! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

❤️ Fleur & Chelsea
