Thanks to those of you who've read the book and expressed how much you loved it! 

Many people told me personally and I owe a special thanks to those of you who shared your reviews publicly. (Read them here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/66780692-masked-magic)

This is the last update I'll be sending until my next Kickstarter (if I do one), so thank you again from the bottom of my heart! The Kickstarter was a success thanks to you and I have more possible opportunities than ever thanks to its success! 

All the orders except 2 have been shipped out (waiting on addresses) so if you've had any problems or haven't received your orders, please let us know. 

As I always say at the end of the Directing Animation Livecast, "Until next time, I hope we all...get a little Wiser"

Shipping & Reviews

Great news! Around half the orders have shipped and should be all shipped by the end of this week!!!

Since some people live close by and have already received their books, I keep hearing enthusiastic reviews about the book!

If you want to leave a review on goodreads, that would be great.  Here's the link:

There are still 8 of you who haven't filled out the survey, which of course will delay shipping, but with the majority of orders shipping, please check your emails for tracking and let me know if anything does not arrive.  

Thanks!

Book Printing Progress!

Great News! The Printer has finished the books, shrink-wrapped them, packed them extra well, and now they are on a month+ long shipping journey. We still plan to ship them out to you in mid-December!

I had a beautiful sample copy that I was going to show you in a video, but in a whirlwind of events I ended up selling that copy to the CEO of a certain studio. 

While you wait, here are some pictures the wonderful printer sent us! The color in these photographs isn't accurate because you know how photography can be. They are definitely more vibrant in person! Enjoy. 

Talk Soon!

Your Name in the End Pages
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 08:35:48 PM

Hey Everyone, as promised, we've hit the survey deadline for getting your name in the endpages ... but don't despair.  I just put in the Kickstarter names for those of you who haven't yet filled out the survey. 

Sorry if you wanted custom name spelling or preferred to opt-out, but I had to get the files to the printer so we can deliver the books on time. 

Here's how the design turned out (Spreads over two pages) 

Also, the audiobook is recorded and about to go into editing, and that helped me find every last error in the book before printing.

Oh! And since my printer couldn't find adequate materials for the more durable plastic dust cover upgrade, we increased the paper thickness along with laminate and a french-style inner fold to make it extra sturdy!

Thanks and I'm looking forward to updating you further as the printing progresses!
