A Quick Update

Book 2 is Almost Ready!

Risky Witchness is undergoing edits now, and I love how it's coming out. This book is a lot of fun. eBooks should be going out toward the end of March. Book 3 will follow in June, along with all physical copies of the omnibuses.


When I went to order the cover for Book 3, I realized: I don't love the title. Tipsy Witchness was originally a placeholder, more of a way of reminding me that the story would be set in a bar than anything else. The more I think about it, it doesn't embody the story. Emma is helping a bar owner rid itself of an unwanted occupant, but she's not buying drinks. With that in mind, I'd love your opinion on some alternate options. It's a quick survey.


Wishing you a safe and happy February,

Ada

Unfinished Witchness Paperbacks are on the way!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 29, 2022 at 07:22:37 AM

I got a proof of the Unfinished Witchness paperbacks yesterday, and they are beautiful. This morning, I mailed out copies to almost everyone who ordered. A couple of people have not provided mailing addresses yet. If you lost your BackerKit link to the survey, please let me know, and I'll have them resend it.


I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks again for the support.


Happy New Year!

Unfinished Witchness is Being Sent!

Unfinished Witchness is Coming Your Way!

I'm so excited to have gotten Unfinished Witchness almost ready to go. I've been steadily sending out rewards. Here's a summary:

  • All 5x7 art prints are in the mail.
  • All Laura Heffernan and Shady Grove books, physical and digital, have been sent. If you don't see your digital copies, check your KS messages.
  • Most bookmarks, pins, and bookplates have been mailed. The rest should go out Monday. I've hit a few delays because I wanted to hand write everyone a thank you card, and it's been a bad cold/flu season here in New York.
  • Everyone who ordered either an ebook or paperback of Unfinished Witchness, including in the omnibus, should now have an ebook copy. Check your KS messages if you don't see it.

Also, I approved the electronic proofs of the paperback and ordered a copy so I can check it out. Once that arrives, I should be able to start mailing the paperbacks to those backers.


Happy Holidays!

The First Round of Shipping Has Begun!

Now that Mystic Persons is 100% finished and out in the world, I'm sending out the rewards I can. Because of the nature of this campaign, shipping will happen in waves. The first wave is nearly done. 

  • Shady Grove audioboooks have been sent. Check your Kickstarter inbox for a message with links.
  • Shady Grove ebooks have been sent to anyone who did not also order Haunted Haven books.
  • Laura Heffernan ebooks have been sent. I've got a few more paperbacks to ship.
  • Mugs have been ordered.
  • Full Shady Grove paperback sets have been ordered. 
  • If the only physical item you ordered is a pin, it should be on its way to you.
  • If the only physical item you ordered is a bookmark, it should be on its way to you. I'm double checking this.
  • Orders containing both Shady Grove books and one or more Haunted Haven books will be sent when Unfinished Witchness goes out next month.

There's been a bit of a delay getting bookplates and prints, so I haven't started on those yet. If you ordered a pin or a bookmark with a bookplate, those orders will go out next month. One way to help that happen sooner is to double check that you've completed your survey (if you've already gotten rewards from me, I should have it). I need to be sure of the final counts before I can place orders. We're close, but I'm still waiting for about 25 surveys to come back to me. Check your spam if you didn't see it--these are mailed by BackerKit rather than me or Kickstarter.


Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States, and everyone have a wonderful weekend.

Surveys are Going Out Soon!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Nov 13, 2022 at 07:53:12 PM

I just wanted to send a quick update to let everyone know what's happening. I sent out the first wave of surveys from Backer Kit a few hours ago. Keep an eye out for those so I can confirm your orders. The survey also lets me know how many bookplates and other items to order, so the sooner I get them back, the sooner everyone will get their rewards.


Anyone who ordered only Shady Grove books or only books from my Laura Heffernan catalog can get those shipped as soon as the survey is returned to me. Those books are finished and ready to go. My current goal is to have copies of Unfinished Witchness sent by 12/15. Mugs are being sent directly from the manufacturer, I should be able to ship those before Thanksgiving. (Just waiting for my samples to arrive so I can verify the design.) Pins, bookplates, and prints will also be mailed in December. I'm very excited to get everything out! And I love the way these books are coming out. I think you will, too.
