![]() Meanwhile, artwork continues to go well for The Druid of Shannara Special Editions. This week should see all of the remaining regular edition pledges shipped as well as the beginning of the S&N editions shipping. Now that that's done, we are right back to the Kickstarter pledges. And then I was gone to NYCC to soft-announce my forthcoming new book from Skybound Entertainment (more on that soon). Then Daughter of Darkness published - Terry's new book - and we had to ship out those 600 books. Yes, we received books weeks ago but Terry still had to sign many of them. Hunter and I are still shipping out pledges. Details coming next week more than likely. I'll pick a date and time soon for that and it will be shared in advance and on multiple newsletters and social media channels. PS: Some people have asked about when the additional copies of the books, slipcases, and merch will be available on The Signed Page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The shipping just continues for me, taking me away from writing. What else to report? I leave today for the Grim Oak warehouse where I'll be helping Becky ship out copies of Digger Unearthed by Ursula Vernon & Patrick Rothfuss. That will shorten the delivery time considerably, probably in late Spring or early Summer! Yay!Īnd I've already hired the artist for The Elf Queen of Shannara. All elements will be finished and at the printer by January, so we will already be far ahead of this process by the time you pre-order. And I'm about to have the signature pages printed since Terry is close to finishing the the first draft of the third book in The Fae of Viridian Deep series. Lixin Yin continues to produce beautiful artwork. That doesn't mean we aren't moving forward with The Druid of Shannara now though. That way, all of you will have monies to spend during the holiday season. The better news: We won't be doing pre-orders until early 2023. I'll be talking about this more with Terry. I can see a huge headache there with new backers trying to buy the Lettered Edition and causing all sorts of mischief. As far as I can tell, Kickstarter doesn't have the ability to allow the Lettered Edition tier to only be backed by the owners of the Scions Lettered Editions. It may just be a pre-order on The Signed Page. The Druid of Shannara Special Editions might not be a Kickstarter after all. I've reached out to them via email/Facebook, and hope to have those completed in the coming days/weeks. With the exception of about 8 packages since those backers haven't completed their survey. ![]() USPS will do a giant pick-up this morning and then all packages will be gone from me. The 2 cards are inside the Art Portfolio already. The Art Portfolio was for 13 colossal cards and 2 cards that were stretch goals. And one more note: I've had two people who ordered the Art Portfolio wondering where their Unsigned/Signed extra art print was. For the colossal card snaffu, Terry and I decided to create an envelope for the cards to sit within, an extra bonus from our original intention. There were some issues - like the colossal cards having minor damage due to poor shipping from the printer that they wouldn't redo or our artist Marc Simonetti not allowing his pen ink to dry completely as he signed, creating some smudges - but otherwise I'm pleased with the end results. I'm a fan like you, and I think the books and merch items turned out pretty snazzy. I haven't forgotten about it.įor those of you in the US, I hope you have a safe and joyous Thanksgiving holiday.įirst, let me say it has been honor producing these books. Needless to say, you will be receiving the Digital Art Package. I'll be working on this over the next three weeks when I have any sort of down time - which isn't much given the holiday, family commitments, and especially shipping out Kickstarter copies of Digger by Ursula Vernon and Patrick Rothfuss. Now that the Shannara physical items have shipped, I'm receiving a lot of requests for the Digital Art Package that is owed. PS: Watch Terry and I reveal the Druid artwork here: Well, enough people have asked that I feel like the cost per slipcase will be doable, and I can offer them again as a pre-order. Dozens and dozens of you have reached out to me hoping to get them. Marc Simonetti painted such brilliant imagery and it is time to share it as promised.Īnd lastly, many of you - so many - missed out on ordering the slipcases for Scions and Indomitable. ![]() I do want to share that I'll be delivering the digital art to all of you on Friday this coming week. Limited edition owners of Scions will of course be able to match their numbers too. I'm conducting some tests to ensure lettered and rare edition owners of The Scions of Shannara have password-protected access to buy their matching letters/rare numbers. I have finished preparing The Signed Page for the release of The Druid of Shannara on March 15th at 11AM PT.
