Hi lovely backers!
I have had 62 out of 79 backers fill out their surveys! 🥳🥳For the 17 of you who haven't, you can click here to get your survey.
Please have all surveys filled out within the next week. The sooner I have surveys completed, the sooner I can order all your wonderful goodies and send ebook copies to you!
Now for some exciting news! I have just completed formatting Oaths of Shadows and have sent it off to my editor for one final run through. This means ebook copies will be sent out and I will be ordering physical copies of OoS in the next few weeks!
To tide you over until then, I wanted to share the first chapter (with the physical copy formatting). Click here to read the first chapter!
What do you think? Should I share more? 😉

I wanted to let you all know I haven’t forgotten about the surveys! It’s been a crazy few weeks but I finally have them ready to send out. You can now expect to receive your survey from Backerkit within the next few days!
Reminder, shipping has yet to be charged but will be with the survey.
Also, I have set up a preorder store on Backerkit. Feel free to check it out and, if you know someone who missed out on the campaign, I would love for you to share the link with them!

I have ordered all the copies of WoA and should have OoS ready to be sent to the printer by the end of June. It’s currently with the proofreader. Once I receive it back from them, I will format the book then have them look it over one last time. It’s SO close to being completed!
The art for the overlays is halfway completed and the artist is working as quickly as possible to complete the rest.
I will get shirts ordered as soon as surveys are completed.
Thank you all again for your patience and support!

Woohoo!
Thank you all so much for your support and backing this project! If it hasn't happened yet, your choice of payment should be charged for the amount you pledged. Just a reminder, taxes and shipping will be charged via backerkit at a later date. I will be finishing setting up backerkit on my end this weekend and getting surveys and other items sent out within the next week or so.
Again, thank you so much! Seeing how many believe in these stories and characters makes my author heart so happy!

You’ve Asked, I’ve Listened!

With only 8 days left in the campaign, I’ve had quite a few people reach out to me about how they wished they could back the audiobook so it would for sure be funded.
Well… 🥁🥁🥁
No matter what the audiobook is happening! I’ve talked with the narrator about different payment plans. I want to be able to get this story to my readers in whatever format they prefer.
As of tonight, the audiobook for Oaths of Shadow is no longer a stretch goal and can be selected as a $12 add-on! (I also have created a ebook+audiobook pledge tier if that is easier for those who only wanted digital).
*Come release day, retail price of the ebook will be between $15-20 (depending on the retailer).
If we reach $6000, the new stretch goal is a “Property of Ringard” sticker for ALL backers.
As always, thank you for all your support!

Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother's Day to those in the US!
I cannot believe we are down to only 10 days left of the campaign!
Today I received the art for the inside of the Wounds of Ash dustjacket!
Isn't it gorgeous? I love the way she captured their personalities.
If you haven't yet backed, now is your chance to get this and many other beautiful pieces of character art from Wounds of Ash and Oaths of Shadow!
