I've sent out a few surveys to select backers to make sure everything works okay before sending out the rest. Please take the time to fill out the surveys as soon as you can. These surveys will:
1. Allow you to update your address. NOTE: Backerkit surveys that are unanswered and do not have a confirmed address will not be shipped.
2. Choose add ons!
3. Finalize your payment.
Please fill these out quickly, and everyone else can expect their surveys within the next few days.
I am just completely stunned by the level of awesome that you all brought to this campaign. I'm so happy we made it to the end, well over the stretch goal. It was intense for a second there, but we beat the bots and rocketed over that $2k mark. This means a lot of things:
This is my highest-earning crowdfunding campaign EVER. INSANE.
This is the most backers I've ever had on a crowdfunding project.
Most importantly, this is the first time I've made all my money back for editing costs for a project.
What's so crazy about this is that I've been publishing professionally for 8 years, and a lot of my projects have been funded via ramen noodles and pocket change. Previous crowdfunding campaigns have always made just enough to print the thing, but not enough to do much more. It's very, very rare for an author to be able to go, "I made a profit off this," and be able to pat themselves on the back for all the hard work they did.
Thank you so much.
Court of Snakes #1 on Amazon
Court of Snakes was a #1 Bestseller
Court of Snakes was a #1 Bestseller on Amazon when it first came out, but before that, it was Crowning Justice. It was a not-so-great book I had published in college, so to rewrite it and see the first book shoot up to be a bestseller, then to have the sequel and omnibus be 185% funded is just mind-boggling to me. I've grown so much as a writer, and I'm not only proud of the book Crowning Justice has become, but thrilled to finally be able to publish the sequel and finish the series.
To everyone who's been on this journey with me from the first ugly Crowning Justice version to now, you rock.
Almost to the first stretch goal! You all are AMAZING
Hey everyone! I'm so stoked to announce that we only need a few more backers to reach our first stretch goal. We're 96% of the way there!
We lost a few backers because they were bots (BOO), but Backerkit got 'em! BEGONE BOTS
I'd love to be able to get all of you prints of The King. To reach this goal, it would help so much if you shared the campaign with your friends and loved ones and let them know that this goal is right around the corner. I believe in us!
Thank you to everyone who has gotten us this far. I appreciate you all more than you know.
You all are absolute legends.
Current stretch goal!
Somehow, we're already 85% of the way to $2000, which is something I never thought would happen for any of my crowdfunding projects. The number keeps ticking up, and every day I wake up with my jaw on the floor. Thank you so, so much for your support!
If we reach the goal, I'll be able to send all physical backers holographic prints of The King to match Terran and Parisa, which would be a great way to expand the set.
The King from Court of Snakes
This is the time when we hit the mid-campaign slump, so don't forget to keep sharing the book with your friends to keep the momentum going.
I also wanted to showcase some of the amazing reviews I've gotten for the book so far:
Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage
Amazon Review 01
Amazon Review 02
Court of Snakes: Bitter Truth, Honeyed Justice
Goodreads Review 01
Goodreads Review 02
It literally means the world that you all love my work so much, so thank you!
Let's keep it up, y'all! I think we can make it there!
And CRAZY news, it was funded in 2 hours! That is insane. This is the quickest launch I've ever had for any of my books, so a MASSIVE thank you. Here's a lil' drawing of Aumi to celebrate:
What's up next? Stretch goals!
If the project reaches $2000, not only can I recover my cost from editing, but all physical backers will get a holographic print of The King as well.

So what are you waiting for? Share it with your friends, hype it up!
Something is Coming (and this book is my first ever sparkly Special Edition!)
Hi!
I’ve been working on something big behind the scenes, and I can finally start talking about it.
Court of Snakes: The Omnibus is coming to BackerKit next month, and you all are the first to know about it!
Court of Snakes - The Omnibus
This is the full series in one killer special edition book: magic, rebellion, messy relationships, and tarot card magic woven through everything. It’s a book about power, survival, and choosing who you become when the world is… not exactly stable.
This book is really important to me at this time of my life, and I hope to give people a little bit of hope during whatever chaos we're living through.
