Hi Everyone!

Since Rovina Cai was taking last month off and is getting back to it, we wanted to take a quick moment to introduce you to a couple members of the Wraithmarked team— and the two people you'll be interacting with the most!

Hi! I'm Eira (pronounced like Ira)

I am in charge of coordinating the campaigns and fulfillment for nearly everything Wraithmarked does. I came to Wraithmarked nearly 2 years ago after spending a little over a decade in the corporate IT world. I bring a lot of that experience with me, but my true passion is storytelling, so I cannot imagine being anywhere else! :)

A couple of quick things about me. I'm an author myself (horror and sci-fi), a published tabletop RPG developer, and a cat mom. When I'm not being a total dork, I hit people for fun while skating with my local roller derby team.

Hey there! I'm Heather, and I'm Eira's underling at Wraithmarked!

In addition to helping out my benevolent overlor- Eira, I'm also head of the Wildcrown brand! You'll likely talk to me if you send us a support message here on Kickstarter or via email. 

Within Wraithmarked, I'm a bit of a nerd. Outside of Wraithmarked... also a nerd. I have my own illustration business which allows me to travel to different conventions and meet some truly fantastic con-goers and fellow artists alike!

I love to get lost in writing and illustrating my own paracosm, my little home away from home. I build Zoids model kits, play too many videogames, and collect trinkets (I just want to be a Khajiit).

Okay, back to Wraithmarked...

We bring all this up to let you all know that when you interact with us, you're talking to real people who have been involved with the creative process from start to finish. It's super important that your experience with us is a good one. While we can't promise completely smooth sailing— manufacturing and distribution are tricky businesses— we will do our best to keep y'all informed as the process progresses.

That's all for today! Just wanted to stop by, give y'all a peek behind the curtain, and say hello! Thanks again for supporting what we do here at Wraithmarked!

Cheers, Eira & Heather

Time for a Surprise!

Hi Everyone!

We have a fun surprise for you all today! Rovina Kai will be designing a black and white art piece that will be included on the reverse side of the dust jacket!

We haven't gotten the art in yet, so we don't have any sneak peeks for you yet, but once we do get it you can be sure you'll see it in an update here! So stay tuned!

Final Quote Request submitted!

Hi Everyone!

This is a quick update for you all today! In anticipation of wrapping up the book interiors we've submitted the final quote request with our printer. Once we that quote back from the printer and accept it, we'll be able to move on to the pre-press process, which includes getting the dust cover dimensions, page counts, signature pages printed, and more!

As we move on with this process we'll keep y'all posted!

Bookmarks have Arrived!

Howdy, all!

We're very excited to announce that the bookmarks have arrived! It was a big order so it took a bit longer to print and ship, the wait was absolutely worth it because these things are gorgeous. We've never done a bookmark with red foil before, and the way it pops looks so good. But you don't have to take our word for it, take a look at the picture below!

Bookmarks are on their way!

Hey Everyone!

Quick update for you today! We just got the tracking info for the bookmarks so they should be on our doorstep in the next few days. Once we get them in we'll share pictures.
