Latest Updates from Our Project:

New Fairytale Fantasy series you don't want to miss!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 09:34:15 AM

Just popping in to tell you all about my co-author's new kickstarter project coming very soon! The Six Kingdoms is M. Lynn's Fairytale inspired series featuring Rapunzel as you have never seen her. (Cinderella, Robin Hood, and Sleeping Beauty retellings are also included in this amazing Omnibus set! (FYI Cursed Beauty is my favorite!))

This is not your typical Fairytale retelling. Each of the books in this omnibus set are based on the original fairytales that went a little different than our Disney favorites. These heroines are feisty and they take charge of their stories in a way you will not expect. 

I could not recommend this series more. It's one of my absolute favorites and these deluxe editions are going to be GORGEOUS! I can't wait to get mine. 

Be sure to follow M. Lynn's campaign so you don't miss out.

In Love and Books,

Shipping update and announcements!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 11, 2023 at 06:23:15 PM

Hi all!

We have been busy wrapping and packing books for shipping. Some of you have already started receiving your packages so I have a few announcements for you. 

If you are outside the US, you will receive your books directly from the printer. Your signed and numbered bookplates, physical swag and coloring books will ship separately. We're just waiting on bookmarks to arrive. They're supposed to be here later this week. (we've have so many delays on these things!)

Paperbacks are ready to ship as soon as the bookmarks arrive, ideally late next week. 

We are processing Hardcover orders as we speak. These items will ship as soon as possible! 

We are far past my ideal date for shipping and I sincerely apologize for the setbacks. Unavoidable and unexpected delays on final editing, proof errors and shipping have profoundly impacted our original timeline. 

I also never anticipated how long it would take me to sign, wrap and package everything, and we still have a ways to go before we're done. That's why I've enlisted family and friends to come over for a shipping party so we can finally get these gorgeous books to their new homes! (I have quickly learned this is not a one person job lol!) Next Saturday, we're calling in all the troops for all hands on deck. I'll be sure to share pics of the chaos that will ensue! 

This was my first campaign and first time doing a major shipment of books. I naively set an arbitrary timeline that was far more ambitious than I realized. But this has also been a huge learning experience that has taught me what not to do and how to handle certain kinds of delays in the future. Our next campaign will be smooth sailing now that we've worked out the kinks. 

Thank you so much for your continued patience. You guys are the best! 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me. 

Melissa

Hi there, beautiful backers!

This is just a quick update to let you all know we have started fulfilling physical orders. Paperbacks will be going out next week and hardcover editions will ship soon after. 

Hang tight while we get everything boxed up and ready to go!

Thanks so much for your patience as we've dealt with too many delays on proof copies. (we're on our 4th and final proof!) 

In the meantime, check out some of these awesome projects!
