The Eyes of Mandoral: an epic fantasy series of found family and more

Hello, and Happy Halloween! I know many of you have received your surveys from other Booktopia projects, and I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. I'm working on getting accurate shipping rates as low as possible, and when I can confirm, then I'll send surveys. 

I hope you can appreciate that I'd like to save you a few dollars where possible. I'm checking several different shipping and packaging options for the best combination. 

You'll receive an update and an email when we're ready! Any questions in the meantime, please contact me. :)

Have a great weekend!

Ohmygosh, you guys are awesome. We finished at 620% of our funding goal, and you are, as I said, awesome.

Now the work begins continues!

Pledges are being processed. If yours already completed successfully, you should have received an email to that effect. If your pledge did not process -- perhaps your credit card was near an expiration date, or there was a typo, or a sunspot, or something -- you can sign in to your BackerKit account and fix it.

It typically takes a couple of weeks for pledges to complete. Once all pledges are processed, I will send backer surveys. These are very important! so please watch your email for them. They should come in late October (and I'll update here again when they go out). These surveys confirm your desired rewards, let you make any adjustments or additions, and confirm shipping information and payment.

(Don't worry -- I'll do one more shipping confirmation before actual delivery, in case of a move or other necessary update.)

As I said during the campaign, delivery will come next year, and I'll update here as we progress.

In the meantime: If you haven't read "A Midwinter Theft" to meet Lisveth and Galen, you can pick up the free ebook here or get it in audio on the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast. 

Thank you again, and I'll be back with updates as we go!

We are less than 24 hours from closing, and we are just $352 away from one more stretch goal! Thank you so much for doing this with me -- I really appreciate your amazing support. We have ebooks, paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks, and special editions, thank to you.

Since we're so close to one final stretch goal, maybe tell a friend who might enjoy some found-family grimhopepunk ensemble-cast epic fantasy?

And don't forget to check my partner, Weave of a Thousand Lies, for an intriguing fiber arts magic system and more goodies when you back both at a physical tier. You can link there directly from my campaign page.

And one more time:

We are so very close (<$200) to unlocking full-color hardcover jackets for the special editions, letting you switch between jacket and foil at will for your preferred shelf display.

We're within striking distance of another double-sided glossy print.

And today we're getting another reading! Join me live at 3pm Eastern for several readings from Booktopia projects, and I'll give you Chapter 2. (You can hear Chapter 1 on a previous stream; just replay if you missed it!)

TELL SOMEONE, PLEASE?
Telling someone else about this project would be a huge help as we enter the last 3 days. Share with a friend who loves epic fantasy and found family! Unless, of course, you're keeping this secret because it's intended as a gift, in which case....

GIFT COPIES: YES!
One of the earliest questions I received about the campaign was whether backers could order additional copies of the books as gifts. Yes, definitely! Paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks, and special edition hardbacks are all available as add-ons to your pledge. (If you want these shipped separately, please contact me when you receive your backer survey and shipping information.)

If you want to give ebooks as a gift, I can make that happen, too -- it just takes a bit of manual adjustment. Contact me!

Thank you so much!
