    Decisions, decisions

        

    Hi Everyone,

    I just wanted to send out a quick update about Black Apple. First off, thanks again for your support of this project. We are finalizing things with Amazon and your transactions should go through very soon (if they have not been processed already).

    We have locked-in our printing dates of November 10-11, and are very excited to head down to Pennsylvania to oversee the press. I am currently in the process of finalizing some of the book details, and, as you can see in the above photo, we have a lot to choose from!

    If everything goes according to schedule (and with this much planning and pre-production it had better!) we should be receiving the final, bound copies of Black Apple around the first of December. We will then aim to have them packaged and shipped by the middle of the month, hopefully in time for Christmas.

    I will be in touch as things progress. Thanks again!

    Halfway There!

    Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered their copy of Black Apple! We are just over halfway there with our funding and have 12 days left to meet our goal.

    I can't tell you how exciting it is to check the project and see the increasing number of supporters. Please feel free to share this project with your friends, family, and anyone else who may be interested in this book. Spreading the word is very much appreciated!

    I also wanted to take a minute and ask that you be sure to add the shipping costs to your book. I have sent personal messages to anyone who needs to update their total. Simply log into your Kickstarter account and you will be able to easily adjust your total to account for the shipping costs.

    Thanks again for your support. We can't wait for you to get your copies of Black Apple!

    Take care,

    Mat Thorne / Obscura Press
