The Final Stretch

June 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Only a few hours to go! If you want to add anything to your pledge (e.g. an add-on with extra books) then now is the time to make any alterations. :-) Currently I am ahead of schedule, so it's possible Lost Solace books 3 and 4 will be available in... (Read More)

First Look At The Book Covers!

June 17th - via: kickstarter.com

Updated With Additional (Optional!) Paperback Tiers

April 28th - via: kickstarter.com
As the original campaign text said, I'd been reticent about including paperback versions because international postage is time consuming and costly (for you), and I've also had issues in the past where postal services lost packages (meaning time and... (Read More)

Thank you!

April 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
The project funded within the first day! Thank you to everyone who backed it, and to anyone who backs it in the future. Opal's adventures will continue! :-)  (Read More)
