I have some exciting news to share! The first book in the Midnight Blade MC series, Savage Wolves, has now been released into the wild, which means my attention has turned to Ruthless Wolves. I've almost finished with the rough outline, which should be done by the end of next week, so I plan on starting the first draft once I'm back from the Author's Behind Bars signing event next weekend (Nov 9th). I have a lot of prep work to get done between now and the signing, so I won't be able to make a start beforehand.

I have a couple of updates about the other rewards. I have most of the postcards and Storyteller's Oracle Cards already, but the good news is, the Booktopia Oracle Cards are now on their way to me as well. I've also been working with my collab partner, Cara, on the pin badges. We want both halves to fit together perfectly, like in the pictures we've shared, so we decided to order both parts together as one order. Both Cara and the manufacturer are based in the USA, so to save on shipping costs and time, the cross collab pins badges will be sent to Cara and then she'll forward mine to me. They've already been sent to production and will hopefully be shipped to Cara soon. Once she's confirmed they're on the way to me, I will post an update.

I've also been in talks with another manufacturer about the Midnight Blade MC logo pin badge. After a little back and forth about the colour of the skull, the manu have sent me these two mock-ups. I love both versions, but alas, there can only be one. I can't decided between the two, so I need your help. Which one do you prefer? Black Skull or White Skull? Vote for your favourite on the attached poll by Sunday 10th November 😊

Much love and happy reading

P.s. I'm going to start numbering these updates so it's easier to keep track of what information is in which update.

I will be taking part in Pintopia with my own Witchy Vibes & Smut Lovers Club Enamel Pins 😊

 


 

Hey everyone, surveys have finally gone out! 🎉

I can't wait to get these gorgeous books into your hands, but as I've mentioned before, they're not ready for production to begin just yet. I will keep posting updates here, so you know what's happening in the background, but the updates will be more spread out for the moment while I get things underway. I'm currently preparing to publish the first book in the Midnight Blade MC series, Savage Wolves, with a special signing event cover. Once that's been released on October 30th, I can turn my attention back to Ruthless Wolves.

The surveys have gone out now, but I won't be locking them until closer to fulfillment. So if you need to make any changes to your address, you'll be able to do so. You should also be able to add on items in the pre-order store.

I would like to remind you that shipping will be charged closer to fulfillment as well. I will post a few updates closer to the time to let you know how much it will cost to send to each country/destination, so you'll have plenty of time to prepare for the additional cost. I will do my best to keep the price of shipping as low as possible, but I do need to make sure I cover the costs.

Thank you again for helping to bring this project to life. I couldn't have done it without you.

Much love and happy reading

I'm so unbelievably happy that we managed to fully fund and unlock the first stretch goal. I've had so much fun collaborating with different artists to bring you these stunning books as well as different authors for the extra rewards. I wish you could see all the love and support that's been going on behind the scenes between the many creator's in the Booktopia project 😍 it's been a joy to be part of such a supportive crowdfunding community. The book world really is a wonderful place to be 🥰 

Now the campaign is over, I'm going to take a week off to recharge and catch up with some housework and homework, but I wanted to let you know what to expect next. Backerkit have already begun collecting payments from all the backers, but it could take some time because there were 59 projects running at the same time with nearly 10k backers. If a payment should fail, Backerkit will try again before contacting you to let you know what to do. 

Once all the funds have been collected by Backerkit and cleared in my account, I'll begin sending out surveys. You'll need to fill in the survey, so please make sure you've whitelisted Backerkit to receive their emails. There will be important information in some of the emails/updates that you don't want to miss.

As I've mentioned before, Ruthless Wolves is still in the creative process. I'm aiming to have the book finished and ready for production to start early in the new year with fulfilment to follow in the Spring/Summer 2025. However, I have begun ordering some of the other rewards and will continue once the funds have cleared.

Partner Reward

My collab partner also funded, so if you backed both mine and Cara North's projects at a physical tier, you'll receive the two enamel pin badges for FREE. I will have the wolf moon enamel pin available as an add-on in my pre-order store, so if you didn't back both projects and would like to add my pin badge to your collection, you can add it to your order in the survey/pre-order store.

Some of the postcards have arrived and I'm in love 😍 I knew they would be gorgeous, but they turned out so much better than I thought they would! The only thing that could have made them even better would have been foil stamping, but alas, we didn't reach the stretch goal for foil stamping. Maybe next time 😊 We did unlock the first stretch goal, which is still amazing! And the art that stretch goal unlocked is some of my favourite 😍 Who am I kidding? I love all of the artwork! 😍
My photo's don't do the cards justice, but what do you think of the postcards & Storyteller's Oracle Cards?

I was going to do an unboxing video, but I'm having a high pain day today, so I didn't think you'd want to see me in my pj's and dressing gown. Let me know what you think of the cards/art in the comments. Please leave a comment if you have any questions or concerns as well.

Right, I'm off to recharge after the whirlwind of Booktopia and the crowdfunding campaign, but I'll be back in contact very soon.

Much love

Hey gorgeous,

I know shipping fees are a big consideration when backing a project, especially when the rewards are being sent from a different country. I plan on signing each book and packaging each parcel myself, so everything will be sent from the UK.

I want to keep the cost down as much as possible while also using a company I know and trust. Royal Mail might not be the cheapest option, but they're also not the most expensive. More importantly, they haven't lost or damaged any of the books they've delivered for me and that includes shipping international, so I'll be using them as much as possible. If the weight is above their max limit, then I'll use Parcel Force.

I've mentioned briefly before that shipping will be charged closer to fulfilment and I just wanted to explain a little more about that before the campaign ends today. I'm trying out Backerkit's new beta feature where you'll be charge shipping separately and at a later date. By collecting the shipping fees closer to fulfilment, it helps me charge the correct amount for postage at the time of shipping and it gives you the opportunity to spread the cost a little.

I will also have local pickup available, so if you're attending any of the signing events listed below, you're welcome to collect your rewards from me in person.

The Indie Pride Book Con - Manchester, UK - August 9th 2025
Dirty Outlaws Wanted - Watford, UK - September 13th 2025

Here's a rough timeline of events:

You'll be kept up to date every step of the way through backer updates, social media posts, and through my newsletter. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.

Thank you for supporting this project either through backing the campaign or spreading the word about it. I really do appreciate all of your support and I can't wait to get these gorgeous books and rewards into your hands.

Much love
