Hi Amazing Backers,
 
It’s eBook Delivery Day! I’m excited to announce that eBook add-ons have been delivered! Find instructions and more information on how to access your books below.

 

I’m popping in to let you know that those who ordered eBook add-ons, your books have been delivered.  So check your email for an email from our partner Bookfunnel. 

How does it work: Access your books in your Bookfunnel library using your Backerkit email address. Head to https://my.bookfunnel.com/ to sign in to your library and download your books for your preferred eReader. 

Every email address receives its own library, too.
 
Troubleshooting

Having problems? No worries, Bookfunnel’s customer service is there to help ensure you get your books on your preferred device, be it reading on your computer from the cloud or on your eReader. You can also download their app, which is personally what I recommend for ease  (and it is free for you to use and a site used by many authors to deliver their digital books).
 
Don’t see your books? EBooks were delivered to all orders that had been successfully processed. If your card errored out, your books are on hold until your card is updated and payment is made.

If you prefer to side load your books to your device, the download page provides detailed instructions for that.

 

What else is happening? We’re preparing our next project for our completed Dragons series with the surprise book, A Dragon’s Dilemma and the complete series omnibus.

We hope to launch in mid-April (as we're waiting for some art from our super talented artist). This is a time travel, dragon romantasy, and will conclude the Dragons Series. While writing the new romantasy, A Dragon's Queen, I realized that the prequel series needed another book. So, I had to write it! For this one, we are back with our main characters, Jaz and Erich.

This rich tapestry of epic romance, adventure, and high stakes is not one you want to miss. Please give the campaign a follow so you don’t miss out when it launches. Here’s the link! 

 
Thanks so much for being a part of the journey!

Yours with dragon roars,

Hi Amazing Dragon Lovers,

Happy Day after St. Patrick's Day! Ha! I know it's not a thing, but maybe we can make it one.

March is halfway over and we are well underway.

Pins Ordered

I'm happy to pop in here and let you know that the pins and most of the bonus items have been ordered! Woot! Totally worth doing a jig!

Digital Orders

This means that the next step will be for digital orders to be sent out (later this week). The to-do list is growing shorter and we are so happy about how this project has turned out and the fun we've had along the way. Yay!

Surveys

As a reminder, if you haven't already, please complete your survey. It will help us ensure that we ordered enough for the final count.

Payment Processing Issues

Additionally, please check to see if your card had declined. It appears that Backerkit had a hard time processing some of the payments. Backerkit will run them again automatically after their denial, to attempt to accept payment if there is an outstanding balance.

Like always, if you have any questions, please drop me a line!

Yours with dragon roars,
Tina Glasneck

Hi, Amazing Dragon Hoarder!

We're 2 days away from locking orders! Woot :) This means,  we'll be tallying up all our numbers to send our order to the manufacturer (not only for the pins, but all items). I'm so stoked.

Additionally, next week, all digital orders will be processed.
 

Like always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out!

Your with dragon roars,

Hi Dragon Lovers,

I'm popping in to let you know that surveys have been sent. We've passed the smoke test and are now underway for the survey completion process. We've corrected errors thanks to the smoke test. Yay!

Don't forget, if you backed during the first 48 hours of the campaign, to add your backer reward add-on (either the set of dice or the leather bookmark). This option is on the add-on page. Please select your preferred reward add-on so I can ensure accurate ordering.

Additionally, we are closing in on funding the earth dragon pin. Yay! We're 3 orders away from making this happen! I really want to add this one to our collection, so to ensure we can add this pin to our collection, we've lowered the funding goal (and then those who wish a complete set created by Therena can have all of her beautiful dragons too).

Want to know about this dragon? I'm currently in the throes of writing my work in progress, and thought to introduce the dragon I'm calling the Geowyvern/Geodrache (Steinbrenner).

Above is a wonderful sketch created by our artist, Therena, during the creation process.

Our Earth-themed dragon spews acid and has a bulky, armored body with scales that resemble dark, rough stone. Their mighty wings are sturdy, broad, with a thicker membrane due to their size. They contain bony protrusions, which also resemble a stone-like texture.

Color: (Earth) Green and brown dragon.

Signet: Jera Rune ᛃ (represents harvest, fertility, and cyclical nature of life, reaping). Linked to the power of nature. The Geowyveryn/Geodrache are cousins, with the only difference being that one is bipedal and the other quadrupedal. 

This particular species of dragon is inspired by my wyvern in A Dragon's Witch.
 
Help us unlock the earth dragon pin by adding it to your order now!

If you have questions about the earth dragon pin or reward add-ons, feel free to ask.

Thank you so much again for your support! 

Yours with dragon roars,
Tina Glasneck

Hi Amazing Dragon Lovers,

I'm popping in to update you on things as we head toward the end of February. January seemed to have lasted five years, while February breezed on by (as if soaring on the backs of dragons).

First, thank you for trusting in our project to bring our wonderful dragon collection to life. Pat yourself on the back! I'm still celebrating us and the community we're building around our shared love of pins and dragons.

Now, on to what's happening next.

On the backend, I've set up the pledge manager and I'll be initiating the Smoke Test within the next 24 hours. The Smoke test is when I send 5% of the surveys out to backers. Backerkit requires this, so that way if anything arises--any problems with the surveys, we can go ahead and fix it. 

Once the Smoke Test clears, all the surveys will be sent out.

The survey is super important and shouldn't be overlooked. This is where you:
1. Choose your pins from available designs;
2. Confirm your shipping address
3. Purchase any add-ons (or even help unlock any stretch goal pins, from the 3 pin designs we didn't have a chance to fund).

The survey will be open for you to complete until March 15th!


Errored Pledges

There are some error pledges, where Backerkit has not been able to collect your pledged amount. You can still correct your payment information and make payments through the survey. 

Surveys will close on March 15th and all outstanding pledges will be processed by Backerkit. I will then use those surveys to move to production with the manufacturer, and order the necessary number. The goal is to ship all pins to you by May!

EBook add-ons will be sent after the survey closes in March and will be delivered by Bookfunnel.

Do you have friends or family members who'd love some of our dragon pins? Then you're in luck. We've launched the PREORDER STORE.

To unlock the locked dragons, those pins require only 20 pledges and we are off to a great start!

That is all for now!

If you have any questions, please comment or DM me.

Yours in dragon roars,
Tina Glasneck
