quick follow-up

I was in a meeting with my publisher today regarding my "SPiKE" graphic novel series, asked about how much I was allowed reveal to you guys at this point, so here it is:

I have an agreement with the publishing company Egmont to publish the graphic novel series "SPiKE" (at least volume one, as the following volumes depends on the sales numbers, but my publisher and marketer seems pretty confident I don't have to worry about not meeting the quota, so that sounds promising :D ).
The thing I am not allowed to reveal yet is exactly when we plan to publish this. But it  might be sooner than you think <3

Also, they typically set new publications up for pre-order (of which a limited number are signed copies) before sending them out to the stores. So both on pre-order and on the actual release date the book will be available for online purchase (I understood it they can ship to anywhere in the world, but I'll double check this).

I will come back to you with the official release date when my publisher has made a public announcement about it, and keep you updated on things I am allowed to "leak" in the meanwhile.

So excited to say this to you! <3 

Thank you all so, so incredibly much for your continuous support and love for the series and your admirable patience over the years. It's finally gonna pay of; you actually are going to get to see SPiKE the graphic novel (series!) in a physical, hardcover comic book :D Omg, I am so excited to show it to you guys, to finally be able to give something back for all those years you've cheered me on with this project <3 Thanks for not giving up on me, thanks to you guys I didn't give up on the story either as one of my major motivations was the thought of one day getting to share the finished story with you guys *hug* You are all awesome, every single one of you <3 And promise me you won't give up on your dreams either, ok? I was once where you are now, and if I could make it this far, so can you! I believe in you <3

Stay tuned, and I'll keep updating you here with every piece of news I am permitted to leak :D  I'll make a big announcement of it on DeviantART when my publisher has made a public announcement about the release date of this series, but until then my Patreon page is where you'll get the updates. I hope you understand :)

Big hugs and much love to you all <3 <3 <3

consider becoming a patron to get access to these update posts and more, including unlocking all previous posts! There is deliberately no pay-gap (aside from the gap between not paying anything and paying one dollar I guess, technically speaking) cause I want to avoid the whole 'elitist' mentality, so for just one dollar you get access to everything! You can pledge which ever amount you feel comfortable with, and you can cancel your pledges at any moment if you want or need to. I will be forever grateful for your support regardless and every single dollar helps me out a whole lot <3 And if you can't afford it I totally understand that there are more pressing matters to prioritise in one's life, so don't even sweat bruh ;D You can still follow my page and comment on the public posts, and I hugely appreciate any and all kinds of support so just do whatever you feel comfortable with ^___^ *hug* <3
