The King-Killing Queen Kickstarter Ends Soon

Hi Everyone,

You all love signed books. That’s why you follow The Signed Page.

Well, this is my last pitch to you, true magic believer, because my signed-book Kickstarter ends in about 1/2 hour. The King-Killing Queen is a high fantasy story. It is a perfect place for you to read my work if you haven’t already. Readers who enjoy Terry Brooks or Brandon Sanderson will likely like it, in my opinion. And of course, there is The Briar-Sword Monk graphic novel and short story combo, which is a Kickstarter exclusive!

A lot of the stretch goals have opened up, either upgrading the books or adding cool swag to physical pledges. Now is the time if you are so inclined: Pledge HERE now! Also, those people who pledge get their names put into a Kickstarter Backer Appendix at the back of the book, which is pretty cool!

Thank you for supporting me over the years. I wouldn’t be able to do this with you!

With Magic,
Shawn

The Signed Kickstarter

Hi Everyone,

A quick update here on a busy Friday.

As I am about to head to The Signed Page shipping area and begin today’s work on the Robin Hobb comic books #1-3, I thought I’d share some news that might interest some of you. My new Kickstarter is off to a rousing start, likely thanks to many of you. Since it is doing well, we’ve opened up a number of Stretch Goals that either make the books nicer or add additional merchandise items to every order. Yesterday, we revealed the next one, a good one.

Which one was it? The regular hardcovers of The King-Killing Queen and The Briar-Sword Monk could be signed by me! The Signed & Numbered, Signed & Lettered, and Signed & Rare books were already going to be signed by me. But now, with just a few more pledges, ALL books will be.

And since you are on The Signed Page, I thought that little bit of news might be of interest to you. We will get to this goal today or tomorrow, I’d imagine. So it is happening. But it will happen faster with your aid.

Also, your name will be printed into my book with the Kickstarter’s other backers. Which is kinda cool. Here are the two tiers that will be affected by reaching the new Stretch Goal:

As of right now, due to already-reached Stretch Goals, these regular hardcovers will have acid-free paper, cloth boards, the dust jackets have embossed titles, and the black and white world map will be included in The King-Killing Queen. Also, if you back one of these, you will receive a Sylvie bookmark as well as the King-Killing Queen tarot card! Let’s open some more Stretch Goals to improve these even more!

Thanks for backing my Kickstarter and/or sharing it online. It means a lot!

Best Magical Wishes,
Shawn

Update: Robin Hobb #1-3 Comics & Fonda Lee

Hey Fitz & Roc Fans,

Some good and bad news, I’m afraid.

The good first. This morning, I received a box of 1000 comic book bags. I ordered 1500, so I’m still short 500, but at least I can begin getting 300 or so full sets of Assassin’s Apprentice #1-3 out the door and into eager hands. I will spend this week putting the boards into the bags — something that takes a while at that amount — and will begin shipping out those first 300 sets beginning April 17th. I’ve already asked my rep where the other 500 bags are. Hope to get those around the time I’m wrapping up shipping that first wave of sets.

In Fonda Lee news, she started her tour in her home city of Portland, OR and then continued her tour outside of the Pacific Northwest. In short, she doesn’t visit the Seattle area until the end of her tour, which will be April 21st. This is 10 days after release of the book. If you can’t wait that long and wish to buy the book elsewhere, simply write me an email requesting a refund. No worries!

Okay, back to work for me. Gotta get these bags and boards put together while I answer question on my Kickstarter for my new fantasy novel, The King-Killing Queen! It’s doing well. Thank you to anyone and everyone who has backed it already! Robin Hobb and Terry Brooks are both reading it right now…

And I’m… fretting.

With Magic,
Shawn
