New Review, Survey Updates, and International Packages
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 04, 2020 at 07:36:18 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

A brief update:

SURVEYS

There are nine (9) outstanding surveys, so if you don't remember filling one out then you probably didn't. :(  Let me know and I can send you a direct link. You can email me at [email protected] or message me through Kickstarter. I'd love to get your rewards out to you. :)

REVIEW

We received a wonderful review from Fanbase Press for Ghosts and Demons which you can check out here.   A big thank you to them for taking the time to review the comic. 

INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES

Because of the lack of flights out of LAX I'm seeing wait times now of almost two months before some of the packages even leave the U.S. My apologies for that and if I could do something about it, I would. 

I'd also appreciate it if those of you who are outside of the U.S. to let me know if you have received your package. USPS is not updating in all cases where I know packages have been delivered. 

Once again, I want to thank you for supporting the project.

Please stay safe and healthy.  Best, Madeleine

Kickstarter Thank You Wall is Live!
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 20, 2020 at 09:03:42 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

Down to business...

The Kickstarter Thank You Wall is now live and you can see it here. If your name is spelled incorrectly, please let me know and I will fix it. If your name is missing, it probably means you have not filled out your survey. I'm still missing sixteen (16) surveys, so please let me know if you need me to send you the link.

REVIEWS

If you have read Ghosts and Demons, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take a few minutes to post a brief review on Amazon.  :) It's OK to mention that you got it through a Kickstarter.

INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES

Because of COVID-19, there are far fewer flights going overseas which means it's going to take a while for your packages to arrive. I apologize for that, but there's not much I can do. However, you can use the tracking number I sent you to see where it is.

ORDERS OF SOME TIME LATER AND NEXT STOP ON THE #13 FROM BACKERKIT

More Some Time Later books just arrived, so I'll be getting those out shortly. Next Stop on the #13 should arrive by the end of the week. If you have ordered both, I will be mailing them out together.

I think that's it for now.

Stay safe. Stay healthy.  Best, Madeleine

Weekly Update - Packages are Arriving!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 14, 2020 at 08:57:05 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

I have shipped 405 packages so far.  Of those, only two (2) seem lost in the black hole of USPS. I have already contacted those two backers, but I am keeping an eye on them. Never fear! You will get your rewards.

For those waiting on the anthologies, Some Time Later, and Next Stop on the #13, I have a shipment coming in next week. Those will go out as soon as I get them.

As this Kickstarter comes to a close, I am mulling over different things as we move forward during the pandemic.  Once I settle on what I want to do, you will be the first to know. In the meantime, my second draft of the novel series is off to beta readers. I need to do some administrative house cleaning, then I will dive back into hammering out the next graphic novel.

Online Things To Do:

Nebula Conference - May 29-31 (Online)

I will be part of the "Crowdfunding for  Authors" panel at the Nebula Virtual Conference on May 29 at 8:00 a.m.  There is still time to sign up for the entire conference which offers  panels with Cat Rambo, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Grand Master, Lois  McMaster Bujold!  Sign up today!

Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.   Best, Madeleine

Rewards on the Way and More!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 08, 2020 at 10:22:23 AM

Hello Awesome Backers:

To date, over 90% of the physical rewards have been mailed.  I'm still missing about 35 surveys, so please check your inbox or message me for the link. I'd love to get these all out the door before the end of May.

USPS Tracking Numbers

It has come to my attention that for a few of you the tracking number perpetually says "Not Scanned." Do not worry about that. Your package has been delivered to the post office by me personally. According to the manager at my local post office, they are so swamped they are bringing in extra trucks to move packages out before they are scanned at their branch. They are then entered into the system at a distribution center and that field will not change until after they have been delivered. I can confirm this as one of my reports lists the dates when the distribution center enters them into the system. Unfortunately, that information is not passed on through the regular tracking system.

VIRTUAL STEAMCON

I will be doing a talk this Friday, May 8:00 at 4:00 pm (PST) in the Facebook Group, Virtual SteamCon. You are welcome to join the group here.    I'll be doing a Facebook Live to talk about corsets, comics, Kickstarters, and pretty much whatever you want.   Event Link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1573559892797520/

That's it for now.

Stay safe. Stay healthy.   Best, Madeleine

New PDF to Be Uploaded
about 4 years ago – Fri, May 01, 2020 at 06:10:18 PM

Hello Awesome Backers:

It has come to my attention that the PDF I uploaded for Ghosts and Demons was too low res for proper viewing. My apologies. When I viewed it, it looked fine, but not so much for other folks.

Which means in about an hour those of you who pledged to reward tiers which included the PDF will be receiving a notification from Backerkit that a new download is available.  

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best, Madeleine
