Digital Rewards Sent Out
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 30, 2021 at 02:23:22 PM

Forgot to post this yesterday, but the digital copies of Sasquanaut 5 and the others were all sent out yesterday via BackerKit.


So check your inboxes and get those downloads!

Books Arriving and 48 Hours until locking surveys
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 25, 2021 at 02:50:32 AM

Hi, UPS tracking indicates that the Sasquanaut issue 5 books are out for delivery today.  I will hopefully be getting them any time now.


Since they are coming in, I have set BackerKit lock everyone's surveys.  You should have received a final notice to make sure you have the correct address you want to be shipped to, and if you want to make any further additions to your order now is the time to do it.


Less that 48 hours to make any changes to your survey.


If you haven't answered your survey, please do.

Digital rewards are delivered through BackerKit, so even if you are digital only rewards, you have to answer your survey to get the rewards.


I am hoping to start shipping packages next week.  


Potential Delay...

For the sake of complete transparency there is a good chance that rewards will be filled slower than my previous campaigns.  


For the second summer in a row we have a leak in our wall that is requiring some work done to repair everything.  The leak has been located today by a contractor and is, unfortunately, a bigger job than any of us wanted and we must now wait on insurance to get back to us.  


That means I'm playing the waiting game before work can begin on that.  Hopefully everything will happen quickly and we can get underway as our family is coming to visit at the end of next week.  I'm going to try and pack as many books as fast as I can, and keep up with the other work I must do.


I will do everything in my power to get the books packed and shipped as quickly as I can,  but there will almost certainly be some significant disruptions in the process, so it may be a couple weeks to get all packed and shipped.


Please note, that if you ordered a t-shirt they will be shipping separately from the other orders.  Once the surveys are locked and everyone's addresses are set, I'll start placing the orders for the shirts and they should be shipped directly to the address you provided from the manufacturer.


So that's it.  Please make sure your addresses and orders are set, finish your surveys if you haven't already, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns I may help with.  

Surveys, Printing, and BackerKit update
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 08:30:46 PM

Hi!  Production on the books and materials is progressing as planned, if everything continues smoothly I should be getting the printed books in hands next week.


And since the books are coming soon I am aiming to release the digital rewards either late next week or early the following week. 


Most of the surveys have been completed, thank you.  If you haven't taken the time to complete the survey, I encourage you to do so as quick as you can so that there will be no delay in shipping your rewards out.  I am hoping to start putting packages in the mail by the beginning of July, if not sooner.  (My in laws are visiting soon and I hope to have all the boxes out of the way by the time they arrive).


Reminder that DIGITAL REWARDS will be distributed via BackerKit, so you will need to get your surveys turned in to get your downloads.  I really don't want anyone to miss out.


To start distributing the digital rewards I will have to lock orders on the BackerKit store, so any extra add ons or address changes need to be finalized over the course of the next week.  BackerKit should put out a notice of 48 hours or so when I start "locking" the orders.


Additionally, I realized I failed to add the digital copy of the sixth and final issue of Moon Streak that was produced by my former company GKC.  I have gone ahead and added that pdf into the add ons and pre-order store in BackerKit. So if any of you who have chosen to add the other Moon Streak issues want to go back and get that last issue I inadvertently missed making available, it is now there.  If I recall correctly, the sixth issue was never made available digitally on comixology or any other platform and was never printed.  A seventh issue was, I believe, created by a new art team after my departure, but the book was never completed, so issue 6 is the last completed issue of the series.  I am trying to get a hold of and finish off issue 7 if I can, but that is not something I can promise will ever happen, but issue 6 is now available for the first time ever.


That's all, my friends, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Newsletter Email and Minor Update
almost 3 years ago – Sun, Jun 13, 2021 at 09:44:52 PM

Good morning!  I'll be brief.

I have approved the digital proof from the printer for issue 5 and printing is under way and the issue 5 ARTIST EDITION was turned in to the printer on Monday.  


If you ordered a T-Shirt from me, I want to make clear that your shirt(s) will be arriving separately from your other pledge items.  The vendor that I am ordering shirts from will print and ship them directly to you.  I have not ordered shirts yet, but they may arrive before or after your other rewards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earlier this week, those of you who answered your survey that you wanted to sign up for my email newsletter, I went ahead and imported your contact info.  If you answered your survey in the last two days I have not imported you yet.


Why am I mentioning this?


The latest newsletter was sent out a few minutes ago.  


Take a second, check your inbox and see if you received it.  If you can't find it, check your JUNK/SPAM folder and also check on your PROMOTIONS tab if you have gmail, and mark them as "NOT SPAM/JUNK" or whatever.  Read it at your leisure but please take a moment to locate that email if you can.


This actually really important, as my newsletter is tied to my personal email, and I want you to know that the newsletters are written and come directly from me.  No assistants or bots are involved.


There were more than 20 of you who opted to sign up and when I imported your info, turns out, you were already on the mailing list.


That means people are not getting my emails that have asked to get them.  That's why I'm taking this time to point out the newsletter has gone out so if you still want to receive them you know that you should have one waiting for you now in your inbox.


If you decide you aren't interested in receiving them anymore, don't mark my email as spam, the unsubscribe button is at the bottom of every newsletter.  

Book is at the printer, fill out those surveys
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jun 03, 2021 at 12:42:21 AM

I'm EXCITED to say that the issue files went to the printer first thing this morning and I have made the down payment for production to begin.


From here I should expect a digital proof in 1 or 2 business days, and once I approve the digital proof, the printing will be another 10 business days before it is shipped.  Currently the estimate for books in hand is JUNE 23rd.


Most of you have turned in your survey.  Awesome!  Thank you!


If you haven't turned in your survey, please do that.  Even if you only pledged a digital reward, the pdfs will be delivered to you from BackerKit, and the ONLY way to get them is to FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY.  


It's super easy.  Should only take a minute or less. Unless you want to add on some extra items to your order, then by all means do.


Thank you and have a great rest of the week.  If there are any further questions please let me know.
