Exciting news! All of our books are all printed and Slipcases are near completion, too! 

Currently, due to COVID, shipping overseas is more complicated than normal, however, our partners are doing a fantastic job. We have a full container scheduled, which will include The Red Opera and another book's print run from our printer all bunded in the same container to save time. Lucky for us, this means there will be no consolidation waiting time and more streamlined transport. Yay!

We are so happy with how our books came out and so very excited to showcase them here, getting ready for transport! We can't wait for you all to get and enjoy them! We truly hope you have been enjoying the PDF of The Red Opera, but know there is something truly special about having the physical copy in your hand! Soon, my friends, soon!

We even have a very special sneak peek of the brass plates made for our Sirens: Battle of the Bards cover below, too! You can see Vlahnya on the cover in negative--the two-color metallic foil cover for Sirens: Battle of the Bards Special Edition will be stunning and we will have samples for that book (which hits Kickstarter April 22nd!) shortly! 

Stay tuned, and please hit the green Kickstarter "Notify me button" over at Sirens: Battle of the Bards so you are ready for the big launch on Thursday, the 22nd! We are so stoked to share our new book with you soon--and our Kickstarter video is EPIC! You'll be blown away!
