C. S. & I love a special edition, but we normally open pre-orders on our websites. But we've been missing out on the extra goodies that we could be offering to you! So we've decided to take Guardbait to crowd funding & run our first campaign together! We are technically long-distance co-authors, so this is a special treat to sign books outside the official signings. This will give us the freedom to add fun goodies, get even more art created (by a human artist), & to finally have a mini book that both of us have wanted forever (& we will beg to hit the stretch goal for the pink pages in said mini book)!
Why Crowd Funding?
This was almost a Kickstarter, but we said, “Why not get it to y’all sooner rather than later?”
