New Stretch Goal

As you know, the Kickstarter campaign for the new editions of the Champions of St. Euphemia series (in ebook, trade paperback and hardcover) is running through the end of July. This is your chance to get the new Reader Companion, included as a digital reward with all reward tiers. Other downloadable rewards for all backers include the new series map, ten family trees and a set of five colouring pages.

Today, I’ve added a physical stretch goal. When we reach the goal, this set of five full colour 5″ x 7″ postcards will be added to the reward tiers that include all five books in paperback or hardcover, as well as the new reward tier for the Reader Companion in trade paperback with swag. (If the reward tier includes a foiled bookmark, these postcards will be added to it.

These books begin to deliver from the store in February 2026.

You can pre-order them for pick up at the Pages & Pleasures event in Kitchener next spring, as well.

Rewards with five print books, including signed bookplates, stickers and a foil bookmark

Of course, if you’d like them sooner (even to pick up at Ignited by Books Author Event in the fall) you can order them through the Kickstarter campaign that will run through the end of July – and you’ll get extra goodies through the campaign, too.

Five Trade Paperbacks

The first set of special edition trade paperbacks for the Champions of St. Euphemia have arrived, so today we’ll have a look at them.

As well as the new covers, these editions feature a duplexed cover with the illustration from the current retail editions printed on the inside of the cover. They also include the new series map and background images on the chapters.

These trade paperbacks are available through my current Kickstarter campaign, which runs until the end of the month. After that, you’ll be able to order them in my online store for delivery after February 2026 or for pick-up at in-person events after February. They live on the Champions page in my online store.

Backers of the Kickstarter campaign get a lot of bonus goodies along with their books. First, there’s the digital download of the new Reader Companion for all backers, as well as the downloadable map, ten downloadable family trees and five downloadable colouring pages.

Backers of the print editions will get a signed bookplate for each book ordered, as well as a luxe foil bookmark and a set of stickers featuring the illustrations.

I’ve also added a tier to get just the print goodies – the stickers and the bookmark – along with the trade paperback version of the Reader Companion. It’s available as a reward, or as an add-on, if you choose a single book.

The printer sent me a notification that the hard covers shipped at the end of last week, so I should be able to show them to you soon. 🙂

The Kickstarter campaign runs through July 31 and has funded. Don’t miss out on the extra goodies for backers!

The books will be drop-shipped directly from the printer to save postage, but if you prefer signed copies, there are tiers with signed books, too. If you order drop-shipped copies, I’ll mail you signed bookplates and a foiled bookmark separately.

Here’s my video showing the proof copies of The Crusader’s Bride.

And here’s my video showing two of the extra rewards that come with one of the signed book tiers.

The books won’t be coming to retailers, but they are listed for pre-order in my online store to deliver in February 2026. You can find them and the Reader Companion on this page. you can pick up print books at any reader event after February 1.

If you’re attending Ignited by Books Author Event this fall and would like to pick up your books there, please order them through the Kickstarter campaign. Send me a message there and I’ll refund the shipping cost to you at the end of the campaign.
