Production Update

Hello Awesome Backers:
I'm waiting for confirmation from my printer, but when we spoke last week I was told the production of the books will not be completed until Aug. 3. Add a month for the boat ride and a couple of weeks to clear customs and we're looking at a late September ship date. :( I'm pretty bummed as I had thought production would finish sooner than that, but with vacations and holidays this is where we are at. If anything changes, I will let you know.
I will delay sending surveys until the first week of September after I get back from WorldCon. That way those of you receiving digital rewards will have them before September 15, when I plan on launching the campaign for Morgana 3 and 4. More on that later.
I'm off to San Diego Comic Con next week, so if you are there please drop by our table in Small Press L-03 and say hi.
In the meantime, please check out this fabulous campaigns.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTERS
Charlie Stickney does great work, and The Game is no exception.
The Game Volume One: an oversized, deluxe-edition, hardcover
In the game of life, no one's been keeping score...until now. A sexy, sci-fi thriller from the creators of White Ash and Glarien.
The Game is the story of the down-on-his-luck Eli, who, on his thirtieth birthday, is told he's Player Number 3 in a game that's been going for over a thousand years. And that Eli needs to figure out the rules pretty quick if he wants to survive.

Hello Awesome Backers:
The Mechanical Arm Bookmarks have arrived!
I'm thrilled at how they turned out. :) If you missed them during the campaign, and you pledged to a physical reward, you will be able to add them on through Backerkit once the surveys come out in early August. I should know more about production/delivery in a couple of weeks.
As a reminder, the digital stretch goals were sent via KS messaging.
Before I go, I want to give a shout out to my buddy, Mike Shea, who has another issue of Miskatonic High on Kickstarter right now.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTER
Miskatonic High Issue 32 - Waking Nightmare
Alex wakes up to discover she's 3 years younger and her mother is alive. But this dream life soon turns into her worst nightmare.
If you like your horror mixed with tongue-in-cheek humor and a bit of unexpected drama, like Buffy, Evil Dead, Get Out or Widow's Bay, you'll probably enjoy Miskatonic High.

Hello Awesome Backers:
The Dropbox links for the digital stretch goals have been sent. Please check your KS messages.
I officially approved the proof last night for for both the hardback and softback. So, that's done. The printer will keep me posted on production. Once I know, you'll know.
And if I hadn't mentioned it, I will be at San Diego Comic Con, Small Press L-03, WorldCon in Anaheim, CA from August 27-31, and Rose City Comic Con from Sept. 11-13. Please stop by and say hi if you are there.
I also wrote a story for an upcoming anthology called, "The Rats of Hamelin Station," that will launch on July 15.
SYSTEMIC VOL. 2
The hit anthology returns with nine all-new stories where infinitely critical human lives and systemic forces grind together.
Be sure to sign up to be notified when we launch!

One Week Post-Campaign Update
30 days ago
– Fri, Jun 19, 2026 at 04:19:32 PM
Hello Awesome Backers:
The foil and the satin bookmark have been selected, and the final files have been sent to the printer. There were a couple of things I wanted to fix in the book which took all week to do. No one's fault. These things take time. Anyway, I hope to get the final proof from the printer early next week and sign off on it.
DIGITAL STRETCH GOAL REWARDS
I will be sending those by Kickstarter messaging probably next Friday unless I get a chance on Thursday. I'll post an update once they have gone out.
BACKERKIT SURVEYS
They will not be going out until after San Diego Comic Con. Most likely early August. I like to send them about a week or so before the books arrive, or rather, their ETA. Customs can always take longer than expected.
***
Hoping everyone has a great weekend, but before I forget, my buddy, Ray Chou, has the next issue of his excellent fantasy, Glow, on Kickstarter right now. It's exceptionally well done.
RECOMMENDED KICKSTARTER
Glow #1-8: The Blood of Aldai
Return to the post-magical wasteland and find the answers to ancient mysteries! The exciting conclusion to the second book of Glow.
Glow is a coming-of-age adventure graphic novel set in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by bad magic and even worse decisions. On this adventure, you'll be following two siblings riding the waves of perpetual change and conflict, along with their friends, foes, and companions they meet along the way.

Hello Awesome Backers:
Thank you so much for believing in this project. You all rock!
What Happens Next
Kickstarter will be charging your credit cards so please make sure your credit card information is up-to-date.
(Note: Please be aware that Kickstarter only gives you a week to update your credit card, otherwise your pledge is dropped, and you miss out on all the goodies.)
DIGITAL STRETCH GOALS
Digital stretch goals will be sent through Kickstarter messaging once the money has cleared into my account. (That takes about 10 to 14 days.)
MECHANICAL ARM BOOKMARKS
They have been ordered.
FULFILLMENT AND SURVEYS
I will not be sending out Backerkit surveys until we get closer to the fulfillment date of August. I will post an update when they are sent out. So far, we are on schedule.
I think that's it for housekeeping. Now, I'm going to take a couple of days off. I'll be back next week to post on the status of everything.
Once again, thank you.
Best, Madeleine
