Hey gang! We're approaching the finish line with edits on the very last story (the one our overworked and overobligated publisher is writing, so it's all my fault and I apologize), and we will be looking to start shipping out rewards in March, so if your shipping address has changed, please let us know as soon as possible. We're so excited to bring this awesome, spooky anthology to life and I can't wait to start seeing it pop up on social media as y'all show off your copies!
While we're finishing up Nevermore, we're also producing the New Year, New Books Kickstarter where Falstaff Books publisher John Hartness (it me!) teams up with my buddies Darin Kennedy and Patrick Dugan to bring FIVE new novels to life. These are all completed novels, and we're looking at a ConCarolinas launch for these new titles, so all of these rewards will deliver in the second quarter of this year. If you're interested in more awesome fantasy novels, check out our new project here - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/falstaffbooks/new-year-new-books.
Thank you all so much for being patient with the creation of this anthology. There are a lot of moving parts and a lot of artistic minds involved, and herding those kittens (and me!) is a special set of challenges. So thanks, and I can't wait to bring Nevermore into the world for you all!
November update - things are cooking right along!

Hey there!
Just wanted to give everyone an update on what's going on with the book.
All the stories except one have been turned in, and there's a little editorial to do on one additional story, but we expect the final text to be completed by the end of December. Misty has been working with our cover artist Lynne Hansen to craft a kickass cover for the book, and we'll be unveiling that around the same time as we finish up all the editorial. We're still very much on track to have the book built by January, and then we can start shipping things out so people have everything in hand by our March 2024 delivery date.
Thanks for supporting independent publishing, and I'll pig everyone in a month or so when our final author (ahem, me) gets his story turned in!
Thanks,
John Hartness
Publisher
Falstaff Books
Thank you, everyone!

We're all so grateful for your support that helped us reach our goal to bring Nevermore to you. John and I (publisher and editor) will be meeting soon to finalize the personal rewards, so keep an eye on your email for the details that may apply to you.
And I wanted to let you know that a good many of the people involved in this project will be appearing at MultiverseCon 2023 (Atlanta GA). It's a wonderfully diverse and entertaining con, and so much fun. This year's Guests of Honor are Milton Davis and Rebecca Roanhorse. If you'd like to meet them, and a whole bunch of the awesome people bringing Nevermore to you, you can follow my link* to buy your membership today!

*Yes, to be completely open, I do get special prizes if I sign people up through my link - badge ribbons or an enamel pin, or possibly even a t-shirt!

Thanks everybody, you all kicked so much booty making this anthology happen, and now we get to wrassle Hartness to the ground and get his story written, then get with all the authors who promised to murder one of you in their story and get that info to them so you can all be slaughtered in new and inventive ways!
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be working on a schedule for production, and as soon as we have that roughly set, we'll be back with more updates. In the meantime, keep an eye out for your backer surveys, so we know where to send all your goodies! We'll keep you posted on our progress on this end, and feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need anything from us!
Thanks so much for bringing this anthology to life, we can't wait to share it with you all!
We made it!

Y'all are amazing! We're so excited that we've made it to our funding goal, and it's all because of you wonderful backers. But we have six more days, and it would be incredible if we can reach a stretch goal or two. At $12,500 we can pay our authors a little more, and at $15.000 we'll produce an audiobook! If these are things you'd like to see happen, keep encouraging your friends to back the campaign.
Hooray - we did it!
