I will be locking the existing orders for FROZEN DREAMS on Friday.

Title says it all, really. The sooner I lock down existing orders, the sooner I can start releasing rewards. That’s going to include the Kindle/Nook/PDF book, mind you. Also: once the book is live on Kindle I can get started on proofing it for print.

You should still be able to pre-order via Backerkit, but in case you can’t: link. And, if you haven’t filled out your survey yet… FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY.

Welp. At some point in the process, you have to slam back the shot of whiskey and say That’s all the goram rogue em-dashes we’re gonna find. We have reached that point in the book’s journey. It’s back from the editor, and as soon as EVERYBODY SENDS THEIR SURVEYS IN I can start in with getting the list together for the Special Thanks. There’s just not that much left at this point.

Well, for the book. The audiobook and RPG worldbook are both later-stage projects. But the book (and the physical copy) are still coming along. But a big milestone’s been passed here.
