So far, the people interested in having the map available as an add-on outnumber those who aren't interested about three to one so I went ahead and made them available in the surveys.
You have three options
- the map as an insert $6
- the map as an art print $6
- both together $10
FYI, certain pledge levels, listed below, will have both automatically included, so you don't need to buy it.
Those levels are:
- Name a Friend/Local+ Free Autographed Hardback & Ivy's Book Box
- Be Part of the Book + Free Autographed Hardback & Book Box
- Name a Pet + Free Autographed Trade Paperback
- The Friend Box - One for You, One for a Friend
- The Treasure Chest - Valued at $1000
If you want to add the print, the insert or both on, just go to your surveys and look for them. FYI, I fiddled around with the layout so they SHOULD be right up top.

And the cover...
WOW.
It will look like this, roughly

I'm kinda giddy.

I dunno why I didn't think about this, but before I close the surveys in a few days, would anybody be interested in adding on either a vellum insert of the illustrated map or an art print of it?
I've always liked maps in books and the guy I found (
Metruis with ArtistsnClients) makes gorgeous maps but I don't know if anybody would interested. So before I bother...I thought I'd ask.
Poll below!
Since I haven't closed the surveys, you should be able to adjust them. The cost will be along the lines of $6 - just making it a flat fee because I don't want to redo any of the tiers (mah brain is tired). If you want to add it on, then you can, if not, then skip!
Thoughts in comments if you want and the poll is open!

Look at how pretty!!!

It's still being finished, because me and my tired brain kept missing information while I was on the road, even though Rachel patiently explained what she needed from me, but... isn't it GORGEOUS?
This is the dust jacket going on the hardcover for those who ordered. I LOVE IT.
The design was done by Rachel with
Blue Raven Book Covers.

Also in the works:
Have commissioned the artist for the map and the second chibi, as well as another piece of erotic art and the image that will reveal Ivy in her true form.

Extra art...
The trip I was on with my kiddo...we spent some time in Maine and one of the reasons... I wanted to travel a little farther north and check out the area where I wanted to base the story.
I'm kinda thinking about having an artist commissioned to do a piece of art based off a picture we took of Moosehead Lake to include in the picture. It was views like this that inspired me to set the book in Maine. (Image is below in backer-only updates)
If I do this, I'll include prints of it in the book boxes. :)
The kid and I took so. many. pictures.

Speaking of book boxes (and all assorted book stuff)
It's your last chance to finish/update your surveys. Either this week or next, I'll close them and cards will be charged. I've got a book event this weekend, so I might wait until next week to close the surveys out, but once I do that, cards are charged and there's no chance to add anything else.
Perfect for Spooky Season

Just...look at their faces and imagine.

It's so sensual and pretty.
This is one of the illustrations going in the book and it's going into:
- Jonas's box
- Ivy's Box
- Be Part of the Book tier
- The Treasure Chest

I haven't locked surveys because I've been out of town with my kiddo for a much needed vacation but I'm back now and will be locking surveys soon.
If you want to add a book box or upgrade your tier, now is the time. It's shutting down soon! At this time, I won't be making any more adjustments to the tiers or offering any more add-ons. Almost everybody has their surveys in but if you want to add something on or make an adjustment or two, do it in the next few days!

For anybody who missed backing the project, you can still
pre-order the print book! But do so soon!
