Surveys delayed until next week
over 2 years ago – Fri, Aug 18, 2023 at 08:38:02 AM

Just a quick update today.

You've probably noticed you haven't seen a survey yet. Sorry about that. 


We ran into a technical issue that won't be resolved until Monday,  so surveys will go out early next week.


Sorry for the delay, but fulfillment is still on schedule.

Hello! A quick update today on the progress of Bacon Master.

Lots of great things are happening. Here's a quick rundown:

  • Look for surveys in your email inboxes today or tomorrow. If you don't see them, we might have the wrong email address on file for you, so please reach out with any questions.
  • Even though the post-campaign store is closed, you should be able to select additional add-ons while completing the surveys.
  • The bonus scene - Food Fight Championship - is finished, and final edits are nearly done. You are going to LOVE it!
  • I am preparing orders for the books, add-ons, etc, and should have them all submitted next week.
  • We are on track for digital fulfillment of artwork and ebooks to be shipped by the end of August.
  • We secured the amazing BJ Harrison as our narrator, and the audiobook should be ready by early October. You should receive download instructions by end of October.
  • We are still estimating physical copies of books and add-ons will also be shipped by end of October.

Thank you!

Bonus Scene complete, and narrator chosen!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 08, 2023 at 01:40:34 PM

Quick update on the Bacon Master post-campaign work.

First, the Food Fight Championship bonus scene is complete! The first draft topped out at about 12,000 words - (roughly 60 pages!). Such a fun story.

I'll be adding it to the back of the Kickstarter edition of the novel.

Otherwise, I'm wrapping up some final fine-tuning of the book, with minor edits being completed this week.

I also confirmed the narrator for the audiobook edition!

Award-winning narrator BJ Harrison, owner of Classic Tales Podcast (https://classictalesaudiobooks.com/) and narrator of many books, has agreed to narrate Bacon Master of the Apocalypse. I am thrilled to work with BJ, and the narration should be complete by the end of September. Right on schedule.

Finally, the post-campaign store is still open if you'd like to order any additional copies of any of the various formats of the book. The store will close next week on the 15th, and then final files will be submitted to the printers!

You will also receive the questionnaire as the first step of fulfillment.

Fulfillment dates are firming up. Right now, it looks like we'll have:

  • Digital art and ebooks delivered by the end of August
  • Print copies, audiobooks, and add-ons delivered by the end of October.

Thank you again for your support!

Bonus scene - you voted and decided on . . .

Concept art - food fight!

Thank you to everyone who voted for which bonus scene to include in the back of Bacon Master of the Apocalypse!

Voting was very close between Rasher's backstory and the Food Fight championship.

And the winner is  . . . THE FOOD FIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Oh yeah, this one is going to be good. Excellent choice!

But, since so many of you liked the idea of Rasher's backstory, I've decided to add that backstory scene to book two as a prologue.

I'll be working on the food fight championship scene next week, and will send another update later next week.

What do you think about the idea of me sharing that food fight scne with all of you in another update?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Frank



Poll for stretch goal Extra Scene
over 2 years ago – Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 03:01:00 PM

Hello, my friends!

A couple of fun updates today. First, I need your input into which extra scene I should include in the end of Bacon Master of the Apocalypse.

The very first stretch goal we unlocked was the inclusion of a bonus scene/story in the final book. I'm really looking forward to writing this scene, but want to see which idea sparks the most interest. Here is the list of possible bonus scenes:

  • The first chapter of book 2 (already written, and it's awesome - but you will get it when book 2 comes out)
  • Backstory adventure of Rasher Dilskin - our Bacon Master (A fun early adventure from when Rasher was first learning to use his incredible bacon powers)
  • Food Fight championship match between high house champions (An epic contest between powerful culinary wizards)
  • Paint Battle final championship contest between individual champions (A wild free-for-all between the best paint battle warriors in the capital city of Afitur)

Please respond and let me know what you think.

Second - post-campaign orders are now open

That's right, we're doing post-campaign fulfillment, add-ons, and pre-orders through Backerkit. For the next 29 days, it's possible to add some of the awesome add-ons to your order, and even pick up individual extra copies of the various formats of Bacon Master.

Since these are individual copies not tied to specific tiers of rewards, you can add them to your order at a discounted rate:

  • $7.99 - Signed ebook
  • $34.99 - Audiobook
  • $34.99 - Standard edition hardcover
  • $89.99 - Exclusive faux-leather hardcover edition

You can find them and all the other add-ons here.

Finally, Fulfillment surveys will start going out next month

Within that time, I will wrap up the bonus scene, final formatting for the various editions, and schedule recording of the audiobook.\

With the fulfillment surveys, I'll be able to provide more accurate information regarding shipping.

Again, THANK YOU for your enthusiastic support! The books are coming!
