Greetings Star Seekers,

Today's update brings mixed news. 

TL:DR Books arrived, I am signing it, and will charge cards soon. 

I will start with the good news; the books have finally all arrived! And from what I can tell there was only a couple which needs to be replaced (Don't worry, I ordered lots extra this time). This happens to be exactly one year since the campaign ended, so it is a really good feeling to finally have some closure for this adventure! 

Now begins the task of signing and boxing 113 books. 

As you can imagine, this might take a while since I am also checking to make sure everything looks good as I do a quality check. I am also numbering them as I sign them, with the book boxes getting #4-10.

I am buried in something I only ever dreamed possible! 113 of my own books ❤️and boxes. My little Dragon's lair is swamped and have shrunk to half its size. But I am not complaining, this is a good problem to have ^_^

I will now charge cards and begin fulfillment. USA backers, please read the backer section below for IMPORTANT information regarding your pledge.

Once cards are charged, all eBooks should be sent your way. All digital tiers and pin only tiers have long been fulfilled as well. Soon, you will all get to read these books ^_^

It has been a long journey, and I am grateful for each and every one of you. From my returning backers to new backers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! 

I have learned a lot this campaign, mainly not to rely on others when there is a time limit and to make sure books are fully edited BEFORE launch. (Even a year isn't enough time apparently, no matter how things went with other books.)

But in the end every set back merely made the book even better, with more art!

I have had to pivot and grow and try things I never imagined I would need to. The world has shifted and changed so quickly in the past year alone, and like many, I have had to navigate strange new waters. And while the shoreline is finally in sight, there are still turbilant waters for some (namely the sudden taxation to make port from pirates--details below). Will these books find safe harbour? I hope so. Because they are beautiful and I am so proud of them! 

Until next time!

Yours in art, Therena

PS: Are you tired of adulting life? I have the perfect campaign running right now! "D" is for Derpy Dragons art book & pins on adulting and how much life sucks...I mean, how we cope with sarcasm and by avoiding adulting like a pro. And it ends in only 5 days!
 

So whether you are feeling overwhelmed, or your life is a dumpster fire, I would love to have you join us in these final days!
