Still Waiting for Delivery :(

Hello Awesome Backers:
The books are stuck at port and have not cleared customs yet. I have no idea why, so all I can do is wait. I'm so sorry for the delay, but I'm at the mercy of customs and port scheduling.
In the meantime, if you haven't filled out your survey, please do so. Here's the link:
Once the books come in, I'm going to do a massive push to get them out.
Thank you for your patience.
Best, Madeleine

Hello Awesome Backers:
Quick update...
My printer informed me that the books are in port, but waiting to go through customs. If all goes well, they should be released and arrive sometime next week. As I mentioned before, I will be at Worldcon next week, but my husband will take delivery in my absence. Happily, the packing team is in place, and my goal is to pack most of the rewards around the 22nd and ship them out shortly thereafter.
For those of you who pledged to the variant cover ONLY (with or without add-ons) and completed your survey, those went out last Saturday (8/2). (42 packages) I believe many of you have already received it.
If you are attending WorldCon, please stop by and say hi. I will be in the vendor room.
More to come. Thank you.
Best, Madeleine

Hello Awesome Backers:
I have sent the digital rewards to those of you who have submitted your survey and pledged to receive digital rewards and/or digital add ons. Please check your SPAM folder in case the Backerkit email wound up there. If you can't find your Backerkit survey, here's the link:
For those of you who pledged to the variant cover reward tier and are ONLY receiving the variant cover and/or add ons, I'll be getting those out before I leave for WorldCon. As I mentioned in an earlier update, the standard cover is not due to arrive until around August 11. Since I'll be at WorldCon until August 18, the majority of fulfillment will take place around August 22.
As usual, I will keep you posted. In the meantime, please check out these two fabulous projects:

Hello Awesome Backers:
Quick update...
Surveys have been sent out. Remember, you need to fill them out in order to receive your rewards. I will lock them down after I return from SDCC. Digital rewards will go out before the end of the month. As I mentioned in the previous update, physical rewards will not be going out until around Aug. 22 as the books will not be arriving until mid-August, and I will be at WorldCon until Aug. 18.
Happy News! The variant cover has arrived and they are sign, bagged, and boarded.
That's it for now. More after SDCC.
Best, Madeleine
ETA of Books, Plus Shipping Schedule

Hello Awesome Backers:
My printer informed me today that the books are scheduled to arrive on or after August 11. I will be at WorldCon in Seattle from Aug. 12 - 18, so the soonest I'll be able to ship is August 22. (I have to sign, bag, etc.) The exceptions are those who pledged to the variant cover tier with or without a bookmark. Since they are coming in this week, I should be able to get those out right after I return from San Diego Comic Con.
Since many of you would prefer getting your pdfs sooner as opposed to later, I will send out the Backerkit surveys this coming weekend, then lock them down once I return from SDCC. That way everyone who is getting issue #1 as a pdf will receive them by the end of the month.
I think that's it for housekeeping right now.
A couple of fellow creators are running terrific campaigns right now. Please check out:
