Stargun Messenger and Beyond Lights' Reach paperbacks are headed to your galaxy! 🚀

Books are headed out over the next couple of days! I'm very excited for these to get in people's hands and for you to enjoy the books. 

Reminder the hardcover editions are still printing and those are expected to head out late September/early October. I'll post updates once those are ready to ship! You can still get copies of those for a limited time through the BackerKit store! Once fulfillment ends, the store closes and the limited edition hardcover editions will go in the vault!

If you've already read the books on your Kindle or other device, it would mean so much if you left a review on Amazon and Goodreads! Thank you all so much for your support. It means so much that you've helped bring the books to life.

Fulfillment Update And Art Reveal! 👀

Happy September! 🍁

Today, I will be locking orders for those paying for shipping on physical rewards as well as any add-ons purchased through BackerKit. Once that's finalized, I'll be charging cards. It will take a couple of days to process the funds, and then fulfillment will begin! 

Paperbacks will begin to ship out beginning next week. Hardcovers are still printing, and I anticipate them to be ready to go out toward the end of the month/beginning of October. On that front, I'm very excited to share with you the exclusive back cover art for the dust jacket of Astra Idari Beyond Lights' Reach! If you recall, this was only teased as a SPOILER during the campaign! Without further adieu...

That mysterious character on the back cover is Gen Penthea, a Lumenor like Emera from Stargun Messenger, but very different. She is a major new character in Beyond Lights' Reach and will impact the story significantly. I'm so happy that people are seeing her! Once again, the art is by the illustrious Al Hess, author of Key Lime Sky, available now from Angry Robot! Again, hardcover sets will ship end of September/beginning of October. If you want to pick up a set or extras, they are still available in the BackerKit store!

As a reminder, digital rewards were sent in August via DM! Let me know if any questions.

Before I go, let me spotlight some current Kickstarter campaigns!
