Hi!
I wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that my new book, Black Market Heroine, is live on Kickstarter right now.
Kickstarter link
Black Market Heroine follows a criminal that accidentally rescues the Antichrist and must keep her alive until morning to prevent a demonic cult from using her blood to open a portal to Hell and start the Apocalypse.
Kickstarter link
It's the third graphic novel in The Godsverse Chronicles. If you loved Katrina Hates the Dead, Pixie Dust, and/or any of the novels, you're going to love this book. It's the same high octane action-adventure fantasy you've come to know from the series, taken up to 11.
Plus, early backers get a ton of amazing digital perks for backing early.
Everyone who backs the campaign at any pledge level before September 4th will receive Banjax #1 by Rylend Grant, Fabio Alves, Edson Ferreira, and HdE, Jember #1 by Beseret Debebe, Obende, Ibeh, Akorede, and Asah, Boston Metaphysical Society #1 by Madeleine, Holly-Rosing, Emily Hu, Gloria Caelie, and Fahriza Kamaputra, Goth Ghost Girl #1 by John Schlim Jr., Sergio Quijada, and Bernardo Brice, Inferi #1 by Casey Bowker, Ruben Romero, Rodrigo Catraca, E. Lyrio, Avery Tan, Laymes Reed, and Alison Flaherty, Gods of Aarurn #1 by Gary Scott Beatty, Impure Blood #1 by Nadja Bear and Nathan Lueth, and Hard Wyred #1 by Erik Bitmanis, Ross Zucco.
If we raise $7,500 by September 4th, then every backer, again even if they only pledge $1, will receive digital copies of Killeroo #1 by Darren Close, Team art of awesome, and Beezzz Studio, James Flamestar and the Stargazers by Tim Irving and Shane W. Smith, Bulletproof Chicken by Jon Westhoff, Bobgar Ornelas, Mat Nixon, and David Halvorson, and Blood of Gods #1 by Erick Dominguez, Jake Bilbao, Gabriel Caitano, Dos Santos, and Emily Elmer Walker.

I couldn't wait :)

Hi,
I couldn't wait until Monday so I took everything that came through to the post office this morning, and you should have received a tracking number if you filled out your Backerkit form.
I will still be going to the post office on Monday, and probably several other times in the next couple of weeks to catch the 20 or so stragglers (though is it really straggling if it's only been a couple of days?), but the majority of you should have your books posted.
If you didn't get your survey, you can request it below.
https://obsidianspindle1.backerkit.com/
With that, I'm calling this campaign fulfilled.
We have a new GODSVERSE CHRONICLES graphic novel coming in September of this year called Black Market Heroine.
It follows a criminal who accidentally finds the Antichrist after a deal goes bad, and has to save her from being sacrificed before the sun comes up to prevent demons from opening a portal to Hell and unleashing the Apocalypse.
If you follow the Godsverse, you know that Katrina Hates the Dead happens two years after the Apocalypse, in 2020 (fitting).
This story is set in 1985, and is the beginning of a new set of books that will be launching in January 2022 that tell four stories of the world leading up to the Apocalypse.
Here is the cover.
If you'd like to get a sneak peek of that one, you can click on the link below. This is the first new Godsverse Chronicles comic book in FOUR YEARS, and I know fans have been clamoring for one, so I hope you'll check it out.

Thank you so much for all your support!

SURVEYS ARE OUT!! + How to get your digital downloads!

Hi!
I just hit send on all the surveys from Backerkit, so they should be in your inbox now. Please note, this email will not come from me, but from <[email protected]>, with my name attached.
The subject will look something like this.
Response Needed -- Get your reward for The Obsidian Spindle Saga: 4 mythic fairy tale fantasy books
And and and and and...it will come to your KICKSTARTER EMAIL ADDRESS, which may or may not be your main inbox.
I mentioned this yesterday, but I will mention it again today.
While I have given you the option to pick up ANY book in the surveys, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, start with The Sleeping Beauty, and then The Wicked Witch, and then The Fairy Queen, and then The Red Rider.
These books are not standalones like the Godsverse and you WILL have a bad time if you don't go in order. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start with book one.
Okay, now if you haven't used Backerkit before, here is how you find your digital downloads.
STEP 1: Log into your email and find your survey confirmation. If you type in survey confirmation Backerkit Russell, you should be able to find it.
STEP 2: Scroll down.
STEP 3: At the bottom, there is a unique link to get back to your survey. Click it.
STEP 4: That link will take you to your survey. Once you finish your survey you will be taken to your survey confirmation page.
If you have ALREADY filled out the survey, then you can use the same link to get to your digital rewards.
(FYI: If you need to change your address, you can do it here.)
Once you get to that page, then click the link for digital rewards.
STEP 5: BOOM! There they are.
If you have digital rewards only, then this is will fulfill your rewards. If you have physical rewards that don't include Ichabod volume 3, I will try to get those rewards out to you once the books arrive. And if you have volume 3 in your pledges, you will get your books fulfilled when the books arrive in port.
Thank you so much!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi!
Thank you so much for backing this campaign. This has easily been my most success novel Kickstarter campaign. I've really really wanted to hit 300 backers this time, and you helped make that happen.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this series has captured my heart and attention for the last three years, as I have built it out and written nine books in the series. Yes, I finished five additional books before this campaign ended. That's how much I believed in this series.
Thank you so much for believing in it too.
So, now let's talk next steps.
I have already prepped the Backerkit page, and am waiting for them to approve it before I can send out surveys. The books have been formatted and one of four has been approved by the printer. The other three books are processing, and I'm hoping I can place an order for them on Friday.
Because I am printing POD for this series, I can place an order and deliver this book quickly. The last two times I did a novel campaign, I delivered it before I even had the money from Kickstarter.
I have already loaded money into Backerkit for shipping, and have all the shipping supplies, so there are only two things stopping me.
-Approval from Backerkit to send surveys
-Approval from Ingram to print books.
If you are a digital backer, then I have already loaded everything into Backerkit. I am waiting for them to move the rest of my digital downloads over, and then I can start distribution and you will be fulfilled.
We are on pace to fulfill by the beginning to middle of July, unless you ordered a hardcover copy of Ichabod #3 through the campaign, which will take a little longer because it's shipping from China.
Thank you so much once again. I'm so so so so so so so so excited for you to see this series, and hopefully fall in love with it.
Russell
