Our pallets of books just arrived at the Merrick warehouse! Huzzah!


They arrived with a few other projects that are all being fulfilled here at the same time...

Actually should only take around a week or so. 


And we should see books starting to ship out by the end of the month!


Darkling Queen Kickstarter Backers (last chance to update your address)

Please make sure you update your address if you've moved in the last few months.


If your address hasn't changed since you completed the survey late last year, then you're all set to go.


You can update you address in your backer survey by logging into Pledgebox and adjusting your survey.


And that also means it is nearly time for the final book!


Book Four is launching on Kickstarter on June 18!

We've got some absolutely stunning pieces of art in this one, including this one which just got finished up by a new artist to the team, Bobe Florian.

And for the final Shadow Watch deluxe book, we've got a four-foil slipcase add-on option!


Check it out!

And... a Special Bonus for Early Backers!

For the final Kickstarter campaign, I've got a bonus for everyone who backs this one in the first 48 hours.


For many years, I've wanted to re-produce the audio versions of the Shadow Watch series with an elite narrator. And it has finally happened!


The entire series is in the process of recording with award-winning narrator Tim Campbell.


Some of you may recognize his name, as he is the voice of my latest book, Children of the Gods. He's also worked on books for NYT-bestselling authors, including Veronica Roth and Jennifer Armentrout, and has recorded literally hundreds of audiobooks across pretty much every genre. And he is one of my personal favorite narrators for epic fantasy.


These audiobooks are absolute top-tier quality, and also reflect the definitive texts presented in these deluxe editions. 


Tim's already finished the first two books and is working on the third right now.

Honestly, this wouldn't have been possible without all of you backing these books, so...


image


Everyone who backs Well of Shadows in the first 48 hours, will also receive ALL FOUR BRAND NEW AUDIOBOOKS FOR FREE, as a thank you for supporting these editions and this series.


It's coming June 18! So be sure to follow the campaign on Kickstarter, so you don't miss the launch!


I can't wait for backers to finally see Book Three, and look forward to wrapping up the full deluxe set in a few weeks!


Thank you all!



-Stephen
