Hey there, Kickstarter crowd!

We have a lot of things happening in the next six months, starting with a campaign launching in under two weeks. Everything available thus far is below!

FULFILLMENT COMPLETE FOR QUEEN

Fulfillment is now complete for the deluxe edition of A Queen's Command!

I've sent an email addressing this in more detail to the backers of the campaign, but I'll repeat this here: if you run into any issues with your rewards, reach out to either me or Merrick Books (support@merrick-books.com) and we'll get you sorted.

Thanks once again! Here are some of the awesome backer photos I've seen as the packages arrive.

EMPEROR LAUNCHING SEPTEMBER 16TH

While I'd initially delayed the campaign for An Emperor's Gamble to October, with fulfillment for Book 2 complete in a timely manner, Merrick and I have brought it back forward.

It's now launching on September 16th, so in just under two weeks!

Check out the first art reveal below. Fans of the series might recognize this scene, but for the uninitiated, let's just say things get strange with some gryphons with Tal and Pim (a new character to this book).

If you haven't already, make sure to follow the campaign so you don't miss the launch!

FUTURE KICKSTARTER PLANS

Things are getting final enough on a couple other projects that I'm confident we'll be running them in the next 4-6 months.

Here's what we have planned:

• In December, a new campaign for an at-launch special edition of the first book in the Legend of Tal sequel series (title and more to come soon)
• In February, the fifth and final campaign for Ranger of the Titan Wilds

My wife and I are planning to fulfill both of these ourselves (rather than go through Merrick), so I have a feeling our basement is about to get a lot more crowded!

Also, I should address a possible concern. As more of these projects get underway across more series, it necessarily means they'll overlap during fulfillment. But I hope I've completed enough campaigns successfully to have your confidence that I'll get them all done.

We'll concentrate on Emperor for the moment, but stay tuned for more info on the others after.

That's it for now. See you for An Emperor's Gamble Deluxe soon!
