Clothbound proof is in!
10 days ago – Thu, May 28, 2026 at 03:53:28 PM

Hello Stitchbinders!

I have received the clothbound proof. And it looks amazing! I'll post pictures on social media and try to upload some here. I did find a few flaws (mostly my own mistakes like the ISBN on the back covers the back of the book blurb so I need to get the designer to fix it.

But the book looks amazing!! I'm so pleased with how it looks!

I'll be fixing those small flaws and sending them back to the printer and then once they arrive, I'll be sending out the remaining books.

If you pledged for the ebook and haven't received it, let me know. I sent out the codes through the Backerkit interface. (I noticed a few were never used.) They do expire after two weeks, so if you missed it, l'll re-create the codes for you. Just reply to this email.

Thank you!

Hello Stitchbinders!
Thank you for backing Chains of Deceit! I started preparing books for the first wave of distribution!

I still have a few people who haven't paid shipping. I am re-charging the cards. It's a little confusing to do separate transactions and I've never split the rewards and the shipping before. So thank you for your patience as this is a little bit different for me.

Anything that fails, I'll reach out to individuals to see if we can figure out a solution to get your books to you!

Thank you!!

Hello Stitchbinders!

Paperbacks and case laminates are both in! I have ordered the proof copy of the clothbound books! So it will take a little while longer! I promise it will be worth it!

Fulfillment for the paperbacks and the case laminates will start next week! YAHOOO!! It's time to get these beautiful books to you!!!

I am so excited to share this with you!

Thank you so much for all your support! This has been an amazing journey! And I am grateful for each one of you!

In the meantime, if you have any questions, let me know!

Paperbacks are ordered...again!

Hello Stitchbinders!

So, LOL! I ordered the paperbacks and realized that I forgot to put the list of backers in it! So now I have 13 books without a backer list. It's okay. I can sell them at shows and conferences, but dang!

Soooo, I added the list and ordered the batch again. LOL! 

So they'll be here in a few weeks.

That is all! Sorry for the delay. 

Shipping will be collected soon!

Hello Stitchbinders!

Shipping surveys will be going out soon! I've tried to keep shipping and handling costs at a minimum and I hope they feel reasonable. I hope it won't be too much of a burden on anyone.

I'm super excited as I start to see items we created together coming in! I am loving all the merch! Squeeeal!!

Thank you again for supporting this project. I am excited to start working on the next two books where Lineya and Kemp will have a side-quest but I will introduce two new love interests in Mori. Thistle and Ash will be returning in the next two books as well. The color scheme will be red/black/gray...If I have my way. My designer may disagree! LOL! I will likely release that duet as a crowdfunding but I'm trying to decide if I should launch them together or as two separate campaigns. LMK what you think.

Thank you all for your generosity and support!
