Hi %{member_name},
We've got an exciting update! In a few days, I'm going to do some raffles to celebrate.
Yesterday, we learned that our graphic novel, Mary Shelley’s School for Monsters: La Llorona in the Machine is a finalist in the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Book Awards in the graphic novel category. We are so thrilled to be included with the other wonderful finalists.
A little over a week ago, we had learned we were Foreword INDIES Book of the Year finalist. We were still dizzy from that news so this awesome double-whammy nearly knocked us out.
We can't thank you all enough for being part of creating this series with us. We are so excited to bring you the next chapter with the Origins #2 comic. We will be exploring complex themes around forgiveness, redemption, and revenge while taking you on a spooky adventure that spans from the Arctic to the the Sessho Seki in Japan.
Thank you so much for joining us on this journey and supporting this campaign. We promise you the next book is going to be even better.
If you want to add the hardcover La Llorona in the Machine to your order, you can if you go to manage your pledge. It's in the add-ons. Find out what is getting the independent book world so excited. For those of you who were backers for that book and have read it already, thank you so much!
If you are attending Wondercon, please stop by SP-30 (Ahh! Real Indie Authors) and mention the campaign for a cool freebie. I will only be there tomorrow and Saturday.
I've added one panel to my schedule. I will be participating in The Writer's Block Presents: Where's the Front Door? on Friday, March 29th, 4-5 PM in Room 300E. The other panelist are Rylend Grant, David Avallone, David Booher, and David Pepose.
I can't wait to bring you the next chapter of our monster odyssey. Thank you from my deepest depths for being here to support my monster obsession.
Stay spooky!

New Stretch Goal!
Once we hit 7K, all backers at the physical level will receive a postcard print of the Sea Voyage illustration by Anna Wieszczyk.
There are still a few gorgeous comic-sized metal prints of this illustration available for add-on. We are only printing 25 of them. This metal print on silver aluminum is a very limited, beautiful collector piece.
I will be at Wondercon Friday and Saturday. Come see me if you are there! Please mention the campaign for a special freebie!

A KILLER KICKSTARTER I BACKED
This amazing detective series has been around for a while, and I'm a big fan of its creator, Madeleine Holly-Rosing. I think many of you will dig this world and its characters. If you love a steampunk world where ghosts and demons are a regular thing, you will love this comic series.
An ex-Pinkerton detective, a spirit photographer, and a genius scientist battle supernatural forces in late 1800s Boston.
Pages from Origins 2, Wondercon, and 200 Backer Bonus Unlocked!

Good morning!
We hit our 5K funding milestone and unlocked another backer perk! All backers will now receive a PDF copy of the Origins #2 script written by me along with selected process art by Anna Wieszczyk. Our next funding goal is 6K. When we hit that all physical backers will receive a Shel, Frank, and Barg magnet. All backers will receive the PNG. As an additional bonus at 6K, all backers will receive the Frank and Shel digital desktop background.
There are 187 of you wonderful misfits that believe in this story, these characters, and us. It means so much. We're going to give out a surprise bonus at 200!
I am so thrilled to announce this bonus. Snow Paw is a great book with talented and wonderful people involved in it.
I did also add a temporary reward tier that is running until Saturday. This includes the hardcover book that is a 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year finalist. Whenever, I go on Blake's show, I usually open up a new tier that is different from my other ones.
I am going to release some new add-ons on Friday so stay tuned and stay spooky!

Shout-Outs to Other Amazing Creators on Kickstarter
As a hint to one of our Week 3 bonuses, please check out this gorgeous samurai action-horror comic. I love the interior art and story of Blood and Fire. Can't wait to see where Ice and Bone takes us.
A samurai action-horror: 16th Century Japan. Anarchy reigns. Revenge took Nakaaki beyond BLOOD & FIRE, now there is only ICE & BONE...
I really dig multi-media storytelling and water worlds filled with new species so Big Empty Blue really pulls me in. It even has a cool FREE welcome bundle with creatures, magic items, maps, and a one-shot adventure!
