Hi guys,
Quick message just to give you a heads up that my editor and friend Erica Schultz is running a Kickstarter campaign for her series "The Deadliest Bouquet."
I've read the first issue and it's an absolute beauty. Well worth your hard earned cash.
Check it out here:
THE DEADLIEST BOUQUET
"THE DEADLIEST BOUQUET is a new 120 page full-color original graphic novel written by Ringo Award nominated writer Erica Schultz (Daredevil), interior artist Carola Borelli (Destiny, NY), colorist Gab Contreras (TRVE KVLT), and editor James Emmett (I Am Hexed) with a fabulous cover by Kevin Wada (Scarlet Witch).
In 1998, three estranged sisters trained by their Nazi-hunting mother come together to solve their mom's murder…and try not to kill each other in the process. Rose, Poppy, and Violet Hawthorn had an unusual upbringing. Their mother, Jasmine, was the daughter of Nazi hunters and indoctrinated into La Résistance after WW2. After moving to the United States, Jasmine settled down and had three daughters, but her hard-lived past caught up with her.
The Deadliest Bouquet explores the relationships these sisters have with each other and their complicated bond with their mother. Can Rose, Poppy, and Violet put their resentment aside to find Jasmine's killer? This is a family of secrets…and they're all about to be laid bare."

Quick update to let you guys know that the books have arrived and have already been shipped! They are bloody beautiful and I can't wait to get them into your hands!
The comics have been packed in cardboard mailers, but although they are well protected, I'm always nervous about what may happen in the post... Please contact me asap if any of them are damaged in the post. I'm assuming shipping will take longer than usual during the pandemic as well.
Although our deadline expected shipping date was March, everything went incredibly smoothly so we're way ahead of schedule.
Backerkit has already distributed the digital rewards, but please let me know if you haven't received the Backerkit email with your digital rewards.
Thanks again for supporting us!!!!!

Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday. 2020 is finally bloody behind us.
A few quick updates to share.
Firstly, and most importantly, the PDF version of the anthology is ready to share with backers, and has already been sent to the printer. We're way ahead of schedule so far.
You should all have received your surveys from Backerkit by now. If not, please check your spam. You have to fill out these surveys to receive your rewards. There are still a few stragglers so please try to fill the survey out asap so I can send out the PDF version of the copy. And for backers of the physical tiers, you need to fill out the surveys so Backerkit can record your shipping addresses. Please let me know if you haven't received the survey.
I've also received the magnets, which all physical backers will receive. The Producer tier tote bags have also arrived, and they look fantastic! The stretch goal print and the postcards are on their way to me from the printers. It's all happening...
Also, the comic can still be ordered from the Backerkit page:

Hello backers!
As of last night Backerkit should have sent you all reward surveys. They are super easy to fill out, which is lucky because you need to complete them in order to receive your rewards! Thanks to all who have already filled them out.
The comic is actually now 100% complete and ready to send to the printer. I'll send out the digital rewards once the surveys are completed.
Please check your spam if you didn't yet receive the email from Backerkit.
And here is the absolutely marvellous pinup stretch goal reward from Lucy Sullivan:
Thanks again to everyone!
