Hi Everyone,
The BackerKit for The Dark Thorn Preferred Editions launches in two days! It has been approved!
Tomorrow, I should receive final cover artwork from Magali Villeneuve, which will be wonderful. Don Maitz has begun interior illustration work for the book, to produce TEN black and white illustrations that will go into every edition. And cartographer Jared Blando is waiting in the wings to produce a beautiful new map of Annwn if we hit that stretch goal.
Well, what are the stretch goals? For that matter, what are the tiers? And add-ons? Well, I'm going to post some information below and I'll answer any questions that arise so you have the most current information for when the project launches on June 12th at 11AM PT.
Here are the Tiers:

Here are the Tiers:
These should seem fairly obvious to those of you who have followed me for a while. The tiers match up pretty closely with what I did on The King-Killing Queen Kickstarter. Ignore the black and white artwork. I'll update that once I receive the finished artwork from Magali.
ALSO—I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH—BE SURE TO BACK in the first 48 hours! Those of you who do will receive an additional tarot card as well as the first chapter of The King-Killing Queen's sequel, The Witch-Wiled Wizard. And the ability to have me personalize your books if you like. Only good through the first 48 hours!
How can YOU help make the editions more awesome? That's where the Stretch Goals come in:
And what add-ons can you buy? As an example, a slipcase you can house your Signed & Numbered book in? Well, here is an image that illustrates some of them. Not featured on the graphic is a slipcase and an extra trade hardcover book for gift-giving purposes.
If you have any questions, do let me know! I'm always around. I'll also take some of those questions and add them to the FAQ. Thank you for partaking in this. It's going to be fun!
With Magic,
Shawn Speakman
