    Trials of a Royal Guard Physical Print

    Hello everyone!

    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

Final day for MoaRG Hardcover Deposits (CLOSED) · 3:13pm Feb 20th, 2016

Hello everyone! I apologize for bombarding you with blog posts about this but I wanted everyone to have one final reminder before I close the door for good. As a reminder, this is likely the only shot. The odds of a reprinting are slim.

Additionally, I have some important information for those that have already made a deposit. Those folks can skip down to the "I've already made my deposit."

Memoirs of a Royal Guard Hardcover

Today is the absolute last day you can put in a deposit for a hardcover copy of Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition. Later this evening we'll be taking down the item on Square and refusing payments. There was FAR more interest than I ever imagined which has led to some great cost efficiencies. I think we're going to end up somewhere in the 70-75 book range when I was expecting around 20. Thank you all for your interest!

The deposit is $15. Book costs will be roughly $37.75 for readers in the US and $50.00 for readers elsewhere. Deposits are non-refundable.

I've Already Made My Deposit

Status Report

Rewrites: Complete
Editing: 45%
Cover: 33%
Formating: 45%

We are on target for finishing all creative work, as expected, in February. In early March we'll do final formatting and socialize the "printable copy" to pre-readers to make sure something hasn't gone horribly wrong. I think, unless something is slow on the printer's side, March is a safe assumption for when we'll ship out. When they arrive will be based on your location.

Your Final Steps

This will be the final process for you to properly receive your book.
1. Make a deposit
2. Complete the Book Invoice Form. Please be sure this is accurate!
3a. Watch your email for an invoice.
3b. Invoices will be sent once I have an exact quote from the printer with freight to us. We will also run your shipping address through our mailing system to see your exact cost. For US readers I expect this to be less than the $10 I used as a model.
4. Pay your invoice.
5. Receive your book.
6. Be happy (hopefully).

If you have any questions please let me know! Fill out your Book Invoice Form as soon as you can!

Thank you all for making this project a huge success!

question... i have "plans" to visit USA on the end or march mid april... will it be a problem to switch shipping between usa/non usa

So, the invoice goes to my gmail or to my PayPal? (I need to buy a VISA gift card in order to buy the book and can't until tomorrow or something). I hope it won't charge me on the spot when I have nothing in my account for the moment.

3766402 If you'd like me to hold your book until that time I'd be happy to do that. Fill out your form as if you're at your US address. Totally up to you.

3766418 The invoice will go to the email you specify on the form that the deposit came from. Invoices do not auto-charge. They're paid when you manually do it.

Ok so I made my deposit back on Jan 12 using square. So for the invoice I put in the same email I used for the deposit? Right?

3767216 Yes please :D

3767297 Square is our little store thing. If it wasn't paypal it was square :D

Should I get another email?

3769542 You will receive an email from us when we invoice. Just make certain you have the Book Invoice Form filled out :)

I filled it out and submitted it hope u got it.

Ah, I just missed this one :(
I didn't know about this til a friend pointed me here.

Well, good luck with the print.
