And….we’re off… (well, sorta)

Summary

It's been a little over ten years since Kit first came into the world. And I'm currently working on her final book. I had the brilliant idea to do new cover art & maybe a limited special edition.

It’s been a little over ten years since Kit first came into the world. And I’m currently working on her final book. I had the brilliant idea to do new cover art and since I was at it, I thought maybe I’d do a limited special edition. And while I was at it, I thought maybe I’d do it via kickstarter.

The Art

With new cover art designed by Kmochi of ArtistsnClients, I can’t tell you how beautiful this book already looks.

Through the Kickstarter, the book will be available in ebook, trade paperback and hardback and reward tiers will start at a couple of dollars and go up, with higher tiers offering payment plans.

About the Special Edition

The book has been revised, smoothing out a few editorial issues I’ve noticed, mainly repetitive phrases but I’ve also reformatted this edition.

The Bonus Chapter

Have you ever wondered just what went down with that fight between Annette (I’m sorry, the Queen Bitch) and Damon? Well, the Special Edition is your chance to find out. Everybody who buys the Special Edition, in any format, will receive the expanded book, complete with a bonus chapter, written from Damon’s POV when he returns to face Annette.

Special Tier Rewards

Tiered rewards start $3 (plus shipping), where you receive an adorable Chibi sticker.

The design was by angellix3 of Artistsnclients, and there’s one that’s even cuter than this available as a reward, too!

If the kickstarter goes well, I’m hoping to add in illustrations to the final project and I’ve got a few other fun goals in mind.
