Latest Updates from Our Project:

Week 2 Wrap Up!
almost 2 years ago – Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 12:02:42 AM

You continue to blow us away with your support! THANK YOU!

This week, we’re spotlighting Volume 2, which will contain The Hellmouth Guardian’s Lover by Adriana Herrrera, and The Vixen’s Deceit by Nikki Sloane. In addition to the art reveals, we’re also sharing the covers that will make up Volume 2!

As a reminder, if you’ve signed up for Kickstarter using an Apple device and clicked to hide your email address, you will need to go into your account and edit that. Surveys and ebooks will both be sent to the email address Kickstarter has on file, and so if we don’t have a “real” one, then you won’t get your rewards! There’s been few people who aren’t able to change their address in the app, so we’re looking into solutions for this! It may be that we have to send a direct link to your survey when the time comes, so please keep an eye on these updates, as they will announce when we send surveys.

Below you can also find:

  • NSFW art for The Fae Queen’s Captive and The Captive Merman’s Promise
  • Greeting Card art for The Death God’s Sacrifice and The Demon’s Bargain
  • Vellum overlay art for The Hellmouth Guardian’s Lover and The Vixen’s Deceit
  • Bookplate designs for The Hellmouth Guardian’s Lover and The Vixen’s Deceit

Projects We Love This Week!

Katee stumbled across Queer Black Horror Stories Collection and promptly lost her mind with excitement! She loves a good horror collection, and this one promises to be exactly that! Their campaign runs until August 12th!

Stretch Goal #2: Happily-Ever-After Art Prints!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 05:44:53 PM

Y’all did it! We’ve unlocked the $350k stretch goal and all swag boxes will now include a set of HEA art designed by Kinkh Sarsm


The art print set is also available as an add-on if you aren't getting a swag box or would like an extra set! 


We’re so excited to share it with you because we can’t handle how adorably swoony they all are! They're inspired by what a happily-ever-after with the respective couples will look like, in all its slice-of-life glory! Kinkh did an amazing job putting these together for us!


Do you have an immediate favorite? Which one are you most excited to read?


(art prints will not be censored when we send them out)


We also want to spotlight some projects we love going forward! 


The first is Angels of Hell: Tales of the Apocalypse Vol 1! It runs until July 24th, so get in while there's still time!

150k Stretch Goal Unlocked! MAP!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 09:39:33 AM

We blew right past our first stretch goal! WOW! You all are so freaking awesome!


We’re so excited to announce that the first stretch goal unlocked is a MAP of the Shadow Market. It was created by the amazing Shannon Donahue and she really knocked it out of the park!


This 6x9 map print will be automatically added into all swag boxes. It will also be included in the ebooks of each book that will be sent out at the end of August/beginning of September.


Additionally, the map is now included as an add-on option. If you don’t have the swag box (or would like an additional copy), you can access the Add-Ons by clicking Edit My Pledge. It will take you through the pledging process (do NOT change your tier unless you’d like that changed), and after you select your tier, you’ll see the map included as an add-on.


We have more goodies in the works for you that we’re excited to share!

Day 1 Update and a new Stretch Goal!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 09:39:23 AM

Holy wow! We are so blown away by the enthusiasm everyone has shown for our launch day! We’d hoped that you’d love this project that we put together, but you LOVE it. THANK YOU!

You unlocked the map stretch goal before we could even post it, but we’ve got a new stretch goal for you! At $350k, we’ll reveal a whole new set of art! Kinkh Sarsm designed 6 pieces for us that depict each couple in their HEAs…and every single one is delicious, joyful perfection! We can’t handle how swoony they are! Once we hit $350k (can I type quickly enough??), we’ll reveal all 6 pieces and the set will automatically be included with every swag box along with the map. If you didn’t get a swag box, the set will be available as an add-on.

As a reminder, if you’ve signed up for Kickstarter using an Apple device and clicked to hide your email address, you will need to go into your account and edit that. Surveys and ebooks will both be sent to the email address Kickstarter has on file, and so if we don’t have a “real” one, then you won’t get your rewards! We’ve included some screenshots below to show you where to change it, but if you’re still having trouble, please don’t worry. As long as we get it sorted before the end of the campaign, it won’t be a problem!

Please note that if you’re getting a swag box, you don’t need to add the map as an add-on unless you want an additional print. If you did already, you can edit your pledge to delete it, but please be careful not to remove your main tier or you may lose your early bird or early shipping tier.

A handful of people have also asked where to input their address, so we wanted to let everyone know there will be a survey that goes to your email after the campaign ends and that’s where you’ll confirm your address.

We love seeing all the comments and posts on social media and knowing you’re as excited as we are! We'll be rolling out all the art and covers as the campaign continues! Thank you for overwhelming us with your support!!

Love, 

Jenny, Melody, and Katee
