Hey Everyone!
As some of you may be aware, our printer earlier in the year was hacked, causing mass delays in production for many of our campaigns. Even though they're back up and running and production has resumed, we're still playing a bit of catch-up. Our original estimated fulfillment for this campaign was set to be end of October of this year, but it'll likely be getting pushed back at least 2-3 months or so.
We know hearing about delays is never ideal, but we strive to be as transparent as possible with you all. Please take a look at the following links for more info regarding the hack!
That being said, even though we're still a ways off from fulfillment, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up!
We'll post a few more reminders like this as we get closer to fulfillment. If you have any questions, please check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We're open Monday-Friday 8am-4pm (excluding US holidays)!
A Peek Inside!

Hey there folks!
As part of redesigning the interior of the book, we also have to design the signature tip-ins for the books. These pages are unique in that they are printed before the rest of the book and shipped to the author for signing. Once they're done, they get shipped back to the printer, and the rest of production can begin.
A week or so ago, we finalized the design of those tip-in pages (shown below). There may be some slight changes as we work to match our designs to the printer's requirements, but all of your signature pages can be expected to look like this!
That's all for now, folks! Till the next one!
No News is Good News!

Hey there folks!
We wanted to take a moment to let you all know that everything on this project is going smoothly and we're proceeding as normal! Sometimes updates like this one are necessary as book production can be a long endeavor - on occasion, there just isn't anything to report. Given the excitement earlier in the year regarding our printer and delays to other campaigns, no news is good news in this instance.
As always, if you folks ever have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below or send us a ticket to [email protected] and we'll help you out! :)

Hey Everyone!
We have a quick update for y'all today. While our designer Shawn works on getting the interior of the book done, we thought we'd share some of the interior art pieces by Daniel Kamarudin!
A Quick Introduction…

Hi Everyone!
While we're waiting on further production news of the book for this campaign, we wanted to take a moment to do a quick intro. While interacting with us here on Kickstarter or via our support email, the majority of the time, you'll be chatting with two people!
Hi! I'm Eira!
I am in charge of coordinating the campaigns and fulfillment for nearly everything Wraithmarked does. I came to Wraithmarked close to 2 years ago after spending more than a decade as your friendly neighborhood IT gal. Most days, I can scarcely believe it's real. But here I am, with all you fine people, eagerly waiting to get my hands on this and every book we make. :)
A couple of quick things about me. I'm a sci-fi/horror author, a published tabletop RPG developer, and sometime musician. When I'm not being a total dork, I collect bumps and bruises by skating with a local roller derby team under the name 'Tryst Issues'.
Hey there! I'm Heather!
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 and Wildcrown, I'm a bit of a nerd. Outside of Wraithmarked and Wildcrown... 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 build Zoids model kits, play too many video games, collect trinkets, and dote on my cats, Soren, Taro, and Edgar.
Actual footage of us - hello!
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!
