Hi!!!
Thank you so much for making this my most successful novel series launch ever, both by total funds raised AND backers :)
Seems like a lot of new faces here, so I will let you know what happens now...
I have already set up the Backerkit surveys which I will use to fulfill this campaign. They need to be approved by somebody at Backerkit, and then I can send them out. I expect this to happen on Wednesday or Thursday.
After that, I will be sending out surveys, probably on Monday as it gives enough time for people to update their cards in case their pledge errored.
I have finished the audio commentary stretch goal, received the shipping supplies, and the postcard, which means all I have to do is place an order for the books, and then receive them.
I plan to place the order on Wednesday or Thursday, after I update the files in Ingram and they are approved. I expect that to take less than a day as it's just interior files I'm updating with the special thanks at the back of the book.
If Ingram is as fast as usual, I will have these books in my hands by the end of the month, and be able to get them out by the beginning of February.
For digital backers, you will be fulfilled WAY before then, but physical backers will need to wait just a couple weeks longer to get their books.
They have to be shipping out by the 22nd of February, because that is when I launch my next campaign, finishing out the trilogy for my most popular series, Cthulhu is Hard to Spell: Battle Royale.
Cthulhu is back, and this time heroes of legends will team up to send him and the old gods back into the void of oblivion where they belong...but these immortal deities of chaos and disorder will not go easy.
The third and final volume, Cthulhu is Hard to Spell: Battle Royale features stories by Trina Robbins (the first woman to draw Wonder Woman) David Pepose (Scout's Honor), Christian Gossett (The Red Star), and a fantastic cover by Aaron Alexovich (Invader Zim), among many fabulous writers and artists.
Plus, we have a theme song, a brand new pin, and just so much awesomeness.
You can download a 40-page sample of the third volume by clicking here.
In total, over 75+ creators contributed 34 incredible stories to this third 180-page hardcover collection, and the results are pretty mind-blowing.
Stories range from cute to scary and funny to poignant, and feature creators who have worked on books from Marvel, DC, Image, Oni, Dark Horse and more, along with brands from Invader Zim to My Little Pony, and everything in between.
Plus, the second volume featured over 70+ creators contributing 38 incredible stories across 160 full-color comic pages including ones from Paul Jenkins (Spider-Man) and Tony Donley (Grimm's Fairy Tales), Ray-Anthony Height (Wakandaverse).
Plus, the first anthology is a 176-page hardcover collection featuring 35 amazing stories from 70 more creators, featuring stories by Lea Hernandez (Teen Titans Go) and Megan Hutchinson (Will o' the Wisp).
There is a total of 107 full-color comic stories in this anthology series, comprising over 500 pages of Lovecraftian goodness!
If you love Lovecraft or comics, then you're going to love this series. I already built the page and you can sign up to get notified at launch by clicking here.
Thank you so much. I'll be back to tell you when the Backerkit surveys are sent out, and when the books ship (both to me and out to you), so stay tuned.
