Hi folks, I wanted to let you know what’s happening with the dust jackets . I
The dust jackets have arrived today and they are stunning but totally the wrong size. They have been so traumatic to design and size so far, and I’m not done with them yet. I have attached some photos for you to see.
As you can tell even though the cover template was for this size book the jacket is way too big and means the back of the jacket art is off centre. The typography is also too big.
This means I will need to discuss a way forward with the printer. If they don’t agree some of the error was theirs it will mean me having to fund another print run, which will leave me out of pocket on this campaign.
I will still make sure you get the foil dust jacket though.
I just wanted to let you know why you haven’t yet received your book.
I’m so disappointed I can’t tell you but I guess it’s all a learning curve and I have to accept this and move on or I will just cry.
Anyway, as soon s I know what’s happening o will let you know.
Take care
Karen x

Your books are on their way to me! I’ve posted a lookie at the hardback and interior on TikTok! I wasn’t happy with the first couple of proof copies I received so I changed printer. This one is so pretty and the interior images are much better quality. I’m really happy with it and hope you love it too!
Just click here to take a look 😍

I’m waiting on the dust jackets,too. I’ve worked hard with a specialist printer to get the typography embossed and foiled on the front cover and spine. That means you’ll still get the bling from the foil when it’s on your shelf!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it.
Don’t forget to follow the Angel of Awther campaign. It’ll be releasing mid to late March when I have some art to show you. ❤️❤️
What do you think to the book? Do you like it?
Look at the bookish goodies!

Hey guys, I thought I'd show you the stunning foil bookmarks that arrived this morning. (Scroll for the video link) Lol! I'd only just gotten up so I avoided the camera! Don't want me putting you off your Rice Krispies! 🤣 I'm still waiting on the dust jackets. I also changed printers for the books as I wasn't happy with the quality of the last 2 proofs. That means I'm awaiting a proof copy from the new printer before I start printing the books. All the postcard art, stickers, wax melts, packaging, and shipping boxes are with me.
Don't forget to follow the Angel Of Aether campaign for the next gorgeous book in this series. I'm waiting on the art before I can set the project live. I have three different artists working on pieces for the book, and I'm really excited to see what they will come up with. It's going to be amazing! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/karentomlinsonauthor/angel-of-aether-a-deluxe-romantic-fantasy-hardback
I'll be shipping the paperbacks soon, along with the physical book swag tier.

I just want to make sure you are kept in the loop on where we're at with these beautiful books.
I let you know before that the proof copies weren't up to scratch. The outcome of that is reassurance from the printer that it won't happen again if I up the paper weight (thickness). The change in the paper weight is to reduce bleed-through from the full-colour pages and this means a change in the cover file size. This change won't take me long to rectify for the paperbacks, so I'm hoping to post those next week directly from the printer to those of you who ordered them.
The foiled hardback dust covers are proving a challenge for the print company. I won't go into lots of details but it has to do with the font foiling and embossing versus the style of the typography. Because of this, it is taking longer to produce them than I wanted. I am considering my backup options for printing, and am awaiting a quote from a different printer. We should still be on time for the delivery in April.
I am currently putting together the next campaign for book 2. Hopefully, Kickstarter will allow me to put it up to follow soon. I'll let you know when it's up.
I hope those of you who read Veil Of Soul's e-book, enjoyed it!
In the meantime here are a couple of beautiful campaigns that are killing it on Kickstarter!
