The Deluxe Special Edition is in my hands!!! (and a Book 2 update)

Y'all! I never thought we'd get here, but look at us--we hit over 200 followers on my Kickstarter! I am already feeling so much love from this community! 

I have been working behind the scenes to prep some very, very cool secret rewards for this campaign that I can't wait to share, but for now--a first look because I am holding this Deluxe Special Edition beauty in my hands! I just receive my 1st copy of this gold foiled special edition and it is STUNNING!!!! All art and writing is done by real people :).

These gifs do not do the rich colors justice, but I can only send gifs, not videos, on the platform.

The colors are a luscious jewel-toned green with a golden sprayed edge. Aren't these cute little baked-goods-themed sprayed edges the cutest? The gold foiling on both the dust jacket and hardcover have a wonderful texture.

Here's a look at the first end page by @themoonborn.illustrations . Again, the colors are not represented well with these gifs. Follow my instagram for a better look here!

Gabby will be creating a second piece for the back end pages--a Christmas at the elven palace of Elkhaven. I can't wait to see it and share it with you!

Book 2 news! I have finally landed on a title for Book 2 that I can't wait to share with you! I am 75% done with the first draft and am giggling along with all of the fun shenanigans. There is so much love in this book, so many cozy moments, that I can't quite hint at, but what I can do it tell you of a very tentative Book 2 release date of February 16th! It is also a very special date as it was right around the time my husband proposed to me.

Thank you for following along the journey! And please share the campaign with your Lord of the Rings wholesome romance Christmas loving friends!

Love, Lenore
