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!

Wow! We are officially more than halfway through the campaign—and what a great two weeks it has been! Yesterday the stretch goal for the 5 page overlays and art pack for Wounds of Ash was reached! 🥳
That means the Audiobook stretch goal is next—and I have a good feeling we can reach it in the next 14 days!
Now back to the page overlays and art pack…
All tiers that include the special edition Wounds of Ash will also include both 5 page overlays and 5x7 prints of art depicting scenes from the book! This means, these tiers will get 10 page overlays and art prints with 5 from each book.
Already have a copy of Wounds of Ash but want the overlays or art pack? You can select them as add-ons for $10 each (You also can get the dust jacket for Wounds of Ash as an add-on as well).
Thank you once again for all your support! I can’t wait to see what the next 14 days have in store!

Oh my goodness! Today I received the line art for the Wounds of Ash dustjacket and 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
Isn't it gorgeous? I may have fangirled a little when I first saw it. (Yes, authors freak out in excitement over character art too 😅)
Speaking of art... We are only $40 away from unlocking the page overlays for Wounds of Ash! The next goal after that is the audiobook for Oaths of Shadow! To those of you who have pledged, thank you so much! For those who haven't yet, what are you waiting for? 😉 This is something you do not want to miss!

Hi all!
I wanted to update you on where we are on the Wounds of Ash dustjacket stretch goal. Our lovely artist just finished up one of the last few designs for the Oaths of Shadow page overlays/art pack pieces. I sent her the design idea for the WoA dustjacket image and she absolutely loved the idea! It will feature Aliyah, Josen, and Kaino sitting around a campfire and just being themselves. I cannot wait to see the final product! I will send updates as she sends me sketches to approve!
For the next stretch goal, we are so close to hitting the page overlays for Wounds of Ash! When that goal is reached (I'm manifesting it will 😉), I will post a survey in an update so you can vote on scenes you want to see illustrated!
We also are only $2100 away from reaching the audiobook stretch goal! Woohoo! We are over halfway there! If you could help spread the word about the campaign, I would really appreciate it! Word of mouth is so helpful for indie authors and the sooner this stretch goal is reached, I can start planning with my narrator.
I can't wait to see what next week brings! Thank you all for being awesome!
