Hi lovely readers!
Thank you for being patient. Me and my family are saying our goodbye's to my dad this Friday. I will get back to sorting this project as soon as I am mentally able after his funeral. I am still doing what needs to be done. The formatting is almost complete and looks stunning. I am just waiting on the final pieces of art that we reached with the stretch goals. They are so beautiful. I can't wait for you to see them!
I have also commissioned an extra piece of art of the final scene in the series. The sketch is amazing. I will include the finished piece as an extra for those of you who backed the tiers with the mystery gift. It will not be in the book but available for those of you who want it as a postcard to purchase either at a reduced rate through my Patreon or via my website.
I'll let you know when it's available to buy. If it's done before I send out the backer survey, I'll make it available on Backerkit, too.
The backer survey and the shipping costs will go out as soon as I have the time and mental capacity to finish creating the Backerkit set up. I've made good inroads but it isn't yet finished.
While you are waiting on your books from me, check out Sheri-lynn's campaign. It's really pretty!
Take care everyone,

Hi folks, I just wanted to keep you in the loop. I have booked KOD in for formatting mid-july. I am currently waiting on the extra art pieces, but in the interests of transparency, my lovely dad passed away last week and my brain is a bit messy at the moment.
I had half prepared the backer survey when he took poorly, so please bear with me while I sort some things out and i will get the survey and shipping costs to you as soon as possible.
Many thanks
Karen
The funds have arrived!

Hi folks! I just want to let you know that the funds have arrived from Kickstarter. The manuscript is booked in mid July for formatting, and the foil dust jacket is ready to go to the printer. I'll get the swag on order, too and then it'll be ready to go when the books are printed.
I'm about to send out the backer survey so keep your eyes open for it. Obviously, your postage costs will also need to be collected. I've never charged later for postage via Kickstarter so I guess we'll work through that process together.
I have RARE London Signing and the Author's In Wonderland signing to do in July, so it may take me a little while to answer any questions or messages. I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible, though. If you are having any financial difficulties when it comes to the shipping payment then please let me know we can sort it out together.
That's all for now.
I hope you're lookign forward to the finale of Dex and Lia's story! In the mean time here's a couple of campaigns you might like.
Last chance to grab some add-ons for Dex & Lia's story!

Hi folks, I'm just waiting on funds to start the ball rolling with production of this lovely book. If you'd like any of the stunning art postcards, or other swag from the campaign or a signed book from my back list, it's a good time to get one. If you already have a physical book coming your way, you won't pay as much in postage to get it shipped to you. I'll be closing late pledges in a few days.
If you are a supporter of the campaign and your payment hasn't gone through, please could you amend your card or payment details before it's too late to go through Kickstarter. If you are having financial issues and would prefer to pay through PayPal and need a payment plan just message me and we can sort it out. I'd rather you get the books so that you can enjoy Dex and Lia's journey ❤️

I'm blown away by all your support for this series! Thank you so much! We managed to get some amazing stretch rewards to add to your books.
I'll be putting together the backer questionnaire very soon so please keep an eye open for it over the next week.
The funds will reach me in about three weeks. Once I get them I'll organise the formatting and get the dust jackets sorted. There was over 1.2 thousand pounds in failed payments for the campaign. If this was you please could you fix your payment details and Kickstarter will try again. If you need to talk to me about a payment plan, I'm more than happy to do that. Just send me a message through Kickstarter, or email me: [email protected]
In the mean time, if you are looking for more campaigns with pretty books to follow here are some to take a look at.
