Warrior Mage Librarians is now LIVE!
11 months ago – Thu, Jun 15, 2023 at 11:14:38 AM

Just wanted to drop in and let you all know, in case you haven't seen, that the next saga of this story is now up on Kickstarter. It is, in fact, funded and well on its way to the first stretch goal!

Warrior Mage Librarians is a complete four-book series that begins about a year and a half after the final book of Mathilda Holiday, and follows Trevor and Sister Margaret as they embark on their new career together, working as Warrior Mage Librarians for the Vatican.

If you loved these characters as much as I did, you're definitely going to want to follow their story as their whole world opens up to include cryptids and strange magics that nobody knew were possible. And as they try to save humanity from being torn apart by a cryptid war....

We Have Paperbacks!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Jan 21, 2023 at 10:53:36 AM

Ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary humans, we finally, at last, have paperbacks! I have packed them up and they are on my porch, ready to be picked up and sent your way! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 

While you wait, here are a couple of campaigns by other amazing indies you might want to check out. Both of these campaigns include cards for the Storytellers Oracle Deck:

If you like DARK romance with heroes that don't always do the right thing, villains you hate to love, but do anyway and scenes that might trigger you one minute and then have you laughing, or crying, the next, then this is the collection for you!

Update on Paperbacks
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 10, 2023 at 10:04:06 AM

Hello, backers! I know some of you are still waiting on paperbacks, and I just wanted to let you know what's happening there. The last message I got from the original printer was that the glitch had been fixed and that I should expect then to ship within a week or so. That was in November.

I have sent them multiple messages since then, and gotten no response. Obviously, this is very frustrating, so today I decided to cut my losses with that printer and try a new one. The files have been uploaded and paid for at the new printer, and this company has a good reputation for fast, high-quality printing, so I am hopeful that we should have these books out to you soon *knocks on wood*

As an apology for the late delivery, I'll be sending along a couple of extra goodies with each paperback. Thank you so much for your patience!

-Anna


PS - I've been working with a group of other authors on an exciting new project called the Storytellers Oracle Deck. 

The Storytellers Oracle Deck is a multi-author project spanning a variety of genres. Each author has designed a card that distills the essence of their book or one of their characters. Put them all together and you have a truly unique Oracle deck that can be used for divination or displayed however you see fit.

Each author will offer their own card plus a two-card starter deck in their Kickstarter campaign. Back as many campaigns as you'd like to assemble your Oracle deck. These campaigns will be staggered throughout the year and on-going into the years to come, resulting in an ever growing, ever evolving deck.

The first campaign featuring one of these cards launched today, and happens to be for one of my favorite serieseseses (you know, plural of series). Click here to check it out!

Printer Update!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 21, 2022 at 09:59:20 AM

Hello! 

I know many of you are still waiting on your paperbacks, and I do so appreciate your patience as I deal with delays from the print-on-demand company. I am pleased to report that I received an email from them this morning, and the books are *finally* going to print this week! 

You have no idea how relieved I am to be able to give you this news at last. So, if you ordered a paperback, you should have that on your doorstep soon! If you backed at a digital level, and you still haven't downloaded your books, be sure to do so, and let me know if you have any issues. A couple of you have reached out and we got those situations resolved; I used a new-to-me fulfillment service for the digital rewards this time around, so there's bound to be some hiccups. You can either send me a message thru Kickstarter or email me ([email protected]), and we'll get your books to you in a jiffy.

Physical Rewards
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 02:27:41 PM

Hello, backers! I hope your October is coming along nicely. I just wanted to pop on here and let you know that if you ordered physical books or book boxes, those are still in the works. Everything is ordered and almost everything has made its way to me, but the most important component of all -- the actual Time's Up books -- are still in printer limbo. As soon as I get them, I will be sending them your way, I promise! 


By now everyone should have all the digital rewards, so enjoy the ebooks. If you haven't gotten your ebooks or there were any ebooks missing, please let me know, and I can resend them. 


And in the meantime, here are a couple of awesome Kickstarters by other authors that are happening right now:
