Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
My first-ever Kickstarter has come to a close and I am blown away by the amazing support! These Toy Runners have been such a fun adventure for me and I am so grateful how many of you have come along for the ride!
I cannot wait to ship your gorgeous special editions full of naughty stories!
You are all the best!

Fulfillment Updates:
I want to give you an update on fulfillment. While Kickstarter is processing payments, I am getting the BackerKit survey set up and I hope to send it out in the next 3-4 days (though given this is my first time doing a Kickstarter there could always be an unexpected hiccup!). The survey will confirm important details like your shipping address for physical items, your email for digital items, and how you want your name to appear in a Personalization and on the Thank You page (if you purchased those tiers/add-ons). If you didn’t originally purchase something, but decide that you want to, you can always add it during the survey.
Tentative Fulfilment Timeline:
I won’t finalize the e-book, paperback, and hardback files with all of the appropriate names on the Thank You page until you have all had the chance to verify the name you want on the Thank You page via the survey. That means that digital delivery of the Toy Runners won’t happen until that is done, I think the week of Oct. 23rd is a reasonable target for delivery of the ebook. The physical prints of the artwork are currently at the printers, so shipping prints during the week of Oct. 23rd is also a good estimate.
Once the paperback and hardback files are finalized (week of Oct. 23rd) I will send those files to the printers. The printers are relatively quick and based in the USA, so I anticipate the printed books will be back to me probably in the second or third week of November (I’ll take some photos of me signing the books and post them so you can see the progress). Then I anticipate beginning to mail out the books relatively soon after that (targeting the week of Nov. 20th).
Of course, this is a tentative timeline and things could change, but I will continue to keep you updated as I progress through all these fulfillment activities. If you have a question, feel free to reach out to me via email ([email protected]) or through the messaging system within Kickstarter. This is my first Kickstarter so I don’t completely know what to expect, but I will keep you updated throughout! Again, thank you for your support and the vote of confidence in my work, it means so much to me!
