I've got a shiny to show you...

Good morning everyone!

Thanks to everyone who has backed the campaign so far, and howdy to the new folks! Tips cowboy hat. Glad to have you on board.

I have a SOOPER SPECIAL surprise to share! I bought a little extra something for the first 50 people who back a physical level of any kind (book, merch, stuff like that). My proof for the item came! Behold, the holographic glory:

It is sooooo cool. I have no regrets about this purchase! None!

What's Next?

We've reached the end of the first 48 hours of Early Bird Perks, but I do have fun weekly perks planned! And that means if you've already backed, you'll get these cool things going forward, too. Yay!

I know some of you will not be at all familiar with Jefferson, the gentleman on the phone screen, aside from what you've seen here on Kickstarter. I assure you he becomes a major player in the series. He's an utterly adorable and frustrating man (and you'll get to hear more about my frustrations with him if you're getting the audio commentary. I have an entire Airing of the Grievances over him.)

Stretch Goal Status Update

Our next stretch goal is for when we hit $3500, which will unlock a new short story (ironically, one about Jefferson). As I write this, we're a hair over $600 away!

Thanks to everyone who has supported this project so far - I am absolutely humbled. Y'all are amazing!

P.S. Here's another couple of lovely campaigns you may want to take a peek at!

Aren't those covers just everything? The poses, the colors, the drama! I can't wait to read these stories!

The Last Phoenix is worth a look if you enjoy magic in the real world, slow burn romance as a subplot, unique creatures, witty humor, and diverse characters. That sounds right up my alley!

Day 1 was incredible!

Wow, y'all are absolutely blowing my mind. Thanks to everyone so far who has backed - I am very appreciative of your support! I wouldn't be where I am without you!

(ALSO: I don't think I mentioned it in the first update, but we funded in 12 minutes. Twelve. Minutes. That's amazing.)

And hey, guess what? Kickstarter noticed us! Breaker got a Projects We Love tag in under 12 hours of being live! Woohoo!

Annnnnd stretch!

In yesterday's update, I mentioned the $2000 stretch goal of an audio pronunciation guide. Guess what?

That means now we set our eyes on the next goal which will get us more goodies for everyone...

Once we hit that mark, it'll unlock a story all about how Jefferson and Flora became unlikely besties. 

Other campaigns you may enjoy

Oooh this one has dragons. And dark gods! And just a stunning bit of art, don't you think?

Ooh and this one has a dash of time travel, pirates, history, and romance! Also some spice for those who enjoy that in your books.

Thanks for coming along on this ride with me!

I can't even right now. I have the best readers!

Well, that escalated quickly. (In all the best ways possible)

I want to say "words can't express how grateful I am" but I'm a writer, so I do have words. Many words. Good words, even. But all the same, none of those words can fully show how humbled I am that so many of you 1) took a chance on a new author 2) took another chance on the weirdest genre mishmash I could come up with and 3) want MORE of it. Thank you, you're all the best.

So, three hours in and we have absolutely demolished the first stretch goal (at $1000) which is a stellar new exclusive cover by Atra Luna Graphik Design. And I hope you'll agree, she knocked it out of the park:

So on to the next stretch goal! At $2000 we'll unlocked the audio pronunciation guide of some of the more unusual fantasy names/places in the outlaw mage world, straight from the horse's--er, author's--mouth. And I have many more exciting stretch goals planned for us! (So don't forget to tell your friends, family, and random passers-by.)

I'm so excited by how things are going so far! Just know if we were all in a room together I'd be running around giving high 5's and fist bumps!

Here's another shiny campaign you may be interested in...

I backed this one when it came out, because it looked right up my alley!
