That's a wrap on the Mathilda Holiday series Kickstarter campaign! As Kickstarter begins collecting pledges, I will be working hard on getting all of the rewards ready for you -- putting the final polish on the new book, putting together the digital omnibus, getting all my ducks in a row so I can order swag and suchlike as soon as Kickstarter pays me.
Surveys will go out soon as well, and you'll be able to add on swag a la carte through BackerKit, so if you were eyeing the book box tiers during the campaign, but you really just wanted part of it . . . you're in luck! The BackerKit surveys will also determine which book you get for those who backed at the pick-an-ebook or pick-a-paperback tiers, and which enamel pin you'll get if you did order a book box. And you'll be able to specify where you want your rewards sent as well.
And I owe you a Happy Hour Chat too! We will go ahead and do that on Saturday, September 10 at 3pm Pacific time. The link and RSVP for that will be forthcoming.
Thank you all so much for making this campaign amazing!

We have just twelve more hours in this campaign, and I'm so grateful to all of you for your support, and excited to get started on commissioning those coloring pages, getting all the cool swag ordered, and then putting the final touches on Time's Up and on that special, exclusive omnibus edition!
I really just have one more proofreading pass to make on the new book, and I have two of the three short stories completed for the omnibus, so everything will be 100% ready to go by the time Kickstarter wraps things up on their end.
It sure would be cool to reach that $2k stretch goal, though, wouldn't it? Get those audio commentaries made for the first two books? Think we can do it in twelve hours? I've seen crazier things happen on Kickstarter!

Just 48 Hours Left

We are getting very close to the end of the Mathilda Holiday campaign, and I feel like there are so many people out there who could still benefit from backing, so please remind your friends that if they have not yet scooped up their copy of the final book in the Mathilda Holiday series, they have only have forty-eight more hours to do it before the Kickstarter campaign ends!
Remember, those of you who have already backed are getting in on:
- Getting the new book 3 months early
- Series map
- Coloring pages
- A backers-only live Zoom chat with me
- 3 free months of Patreon content
And there are certain other perks available only through the campaign as well, if any of you feel like maybe upgrading your pledge:
- An omnibus version of the full series with three bonus short stories included
- Book box tiers with series merch like temporary tattoos, a printed map, enamel pins, and branded Sisters of Saint Joan cleaning cloth, sticky notes, and bookmark.
- Book club tiers in which you can either join my online book club to experience the series alongside other readers or arrange for me to make an appearance at your book club
The campaign ends at 8pm Pacific on August 30, and once it's over, backers will have the opportunity to get some exciting a la cart add-ons as well, through the Backer Kit surveys.
Thank you all for your support!
-Anna

Flash Goal Unlocked!

The flash goal of five new backers unlocked in half the time allotted! So, you'll be getting your coloring pages! Now we just gotta push toward those $2k and $3k stretch goals!
I would love to get those audio commentaries made -- I have a lot to say about these books!

Wow!
I guess you all want those coloring pages -- since I announced the flash goal just a couple of hours ago, we've gained three backers and unlocked the $1,000 stretch goal! Because we hit $1k, I will host a one-hour video chat to which all backers are invited, once the campaign is over with.
And now for the next stretch goal -- it's a two-parter, but I think we can do it! Here goes . . . . . . . . . .
If we hit $2,000, I will record an audio commentary track for the first two books in the series. If we hit $3,000, I will do audio commentary for all five books in the series.
We've got one week left, and I think we can make it!
And we just have to lure in two more backers by Thursday at noon to get those coloring pages. I've been thinking about which scenes I want to do, but those of you who have read the books that are already out can feel free to chime in with suggestions in the comments!
