Hello lovely backers!

Just a quick note, I promised to update you when I decided on the free gift, and here it is- for the first 50 backers of my 2023 Calendar campaign, running now!

It's a 4"x9" At-A-Glance 16 month calendar! Perfect for a fridge, desk, or an unusually large reference bookmark.

As always, if you think this is awesome and know someone who would love it, a shout-out or share on social media is much appreciated!!

And the printing order HAS been sent, so keep an eye out for an unboxing video... they'll be here before you know it!

Until then,

Exciting News!- Thunder STOLEN by Kickstarter!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 24, 2023 at 09:47:17 AM

Hello lovely backers! I guess I can't be sneaky while Kickstarter is sending out updates before me... this was GOING to be a surprise, but here it is anyways-

I'm printing a limited number of calendars, featuring the Victorian/Steampunk designs in my book "The Victorian Collection: Advanced Costuming Techniques" that you wonderful folks backed a little over a year ago. If you enjoyed the gowns in the book, they could be on display, on your wall, for all of 2023!

$15 for the calendar + $5 shipping, rolled into one simple reward, and it's all part of Kickstarter's "Make 100" challenge! 

PS- I've decided I WILL be offering a special bonus for the first 50 backers, I just haven't decided what the bonus should be! I'll be announcing it soon, though.

Check out the campaign!- http://kck.st/3wmY0Y6

Until then,

Laura 💛🔥💛

Incredible full-circle weekend at TeslaCon with The Victorian Collection!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 08:51:15 AM

Hello awesome backers!!

I had a great time at TeslaCon, and it was great bringing the book along, since the Kickstarter actually launched *from* TeslaCon last year! I made a versy special edition just for TC with a bunch of special goodies, and even original watercolor sketches of the fashion show looks that hit the stage last Friday night!

And of course I talked up the "Cogs Aplenty" game, and answered lots of questions about it! I'm gonna be honest though- it didn't result in the immediate bump in backers that I was hoping for, and we're ONE week out from the end of the campaign!

So I need YOUR help! I know you support independent artists and authors- so please, give it a look! Back it if it's your kind of game, and if not, maybe share or give a shout out on your social media, if you would!! 💛💛💛 See it here!

...and if we fund, I'll stick some extra goodies in for anyone who is getting the boxed version! 😘

Let's make it happen!! 🔥💛🔥

Hello fantastic folks! Quick update for you-
Big news... the live-test reward tier
 for "Cogs Aplenty", my second publication, is nearly sold out! 

Only three opportunities left to snag a spot in the very first full playthrough, during a sumptuous dinner HERE in Milwaukee, WI on December 11th! Check it out here!

In other news, you can find me this coming weekend at TeslaCon in Madison, WI, slinging my books and talking about the game, all while running around in fancy outfits! Say hello and show me you're a backer for a free "Full Steam Ahead!" sticker 😊 Hope to see you there!

And funding is riiiight at the halfway mark with two weeks to go! We can do it!

More for you later!

Until then, 🔥💛🔥

Where to find The Victorian Collection, ... and a confession.
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 22, 2022 at 12:43:43 PM

Hello all you beautiful people!

I wanted to post a lil update on where you can find "The Victorian Collection: Advanced Costuming Techniques" now, now that the print run is over and rewards have all been sent out.

I am working on getting it to Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but you can get a copy NOW on Etsy, link right here.


I will ALSO be bringing copies to TeslaCon the second weekend in November, so you can grab a copy without shipping if you happen to be attending!


Now, a confession. About "Cogs Aplenty: A Steampunk Murder Mystery Game", my new project...

I've heard from a lot of people- this project is so different from "The Victorian Collection".
And yes, it is. I know.

But let me tell you, to me it's just my second publication. I have SO many ideas!
I have books planned, I have games planned, I have other fun publications planned. (And not all for funding on Kickstarter, but crowdfunding is a really good way for independent artists and authors to get projects off the ground!) And this game contains no less of me than The Victorian Collection does... I've had a blast writing it, and designing the clues and connections leading to the solution of the mystery!

So as my second publication, I hope you're willing to take a look, back it if you're interested, and maybe share it with someone who loves a good mystery or a fun night with friends.

We're a week in, at 25% funded, and I would LOVE to add this game to my growing list of publications!

SEE IT and SHARE IT HERE!

Really, any shares, even if it's not for you, are much appreciated! 💛💛💛

I'll be sure to let you know when the book is available on Barnes and Noble and Amazon!


Until then, 🔥💛🔥
