Good day my Wolf Pack! 

I don't have much to report on the Snow Paw front. The physical bonus rewards and shipping supplies have started to trickle in. I'm still waiting on the books and other reward items to arrive. This one is more of a recommendations update. There are ton of great Kickstarters live right now from several great creators. Here a few that I'm currently backing myself and wanted to share the love!

Adventures of Nakoa and Nohea: Shadows of the Ancient

I've shared this one before, but recent the campaign unlocked a limited edition cover by Snow Paw artist, Mog Park, that I thought you might be interested in because Mog's art is just gorgeous!

Adventures of Nakoa and Nohea: Shadows of the Ancient is a fun and mythical hardcover picture book that uncovers the secret shape-shifting legends of Hawaii, told in Hawaiian and English.  Click here to check out the Kickstarter! Don't wait to long! This one ends tomorrow, December 17th at 10pm EST!

HISMWTC #1: And Other Tales From Freshman Year

A young woman discovers her college professor is running an escort service. This one is an all-new comic book miniseries for mature readers from the writer of WHITE ASH & GLARIEN, Charlie Stickney. 

This 36 Page first issue of HISMWTC follows Stephanie, an ambitious young college freshman who's swept up into a game of cat and mouse with a brilliant professor, whom she discovers is running a high-end escort service using students as call girls. Think House of Cards having a three-way with How To Get Away With Murder and The Girlfriend Experience. While the series will feature dalliances between escorts and clients, the focus of HISMWTC isn’t sex. It’s about college being a place where people go to discover who they are (whether they are eighteen or sixty). The liaisons provide a thematic lens through which the issues are focused as we realistically explore the nuances of the modern college experience. It's also a thriller.

Well, I hope you found one or more of these very different, yet great Kickstarters interesting. I'm looking forward to get my rewards from each of them to add to my collection! Have a great rest of your day!

Quick Snow Paw Update!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Dec 14, 2021 at 08:37:26 PM

Good day my Wolf Pack!

It's been awhile since I provided an update, so I thought I would send one out today! I’m still waiting for the books and some of the rewards to arrive, but the plan is still to lock the BackerKit surveys on January 3rd. If all of the rewards have arrived here by then I will start shipping shortly after.

In the past I had sent out the Digital rewards via Google Drive download links and sending them to you individually through Kickstarter messenger. This time I am trying out BackerKit's Digital Download storage and distribution, so the download links will be distributed via email from BackerKit once your survey has been filled out and locked starting January 3rd. So make sure you check that your email addresses are correct and that you've filled out your survey! There are still 70 Wolf Pack members left to fill out their surveys. Which is awesome because that means 91% of you are on the ball! Well done!

As always, thank you so much for joining me on this creative journey! Have a great rest of your day!

Your loyal pack mate,

Rob

Thank You For An Astonishing Campaign & Next Steps!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 07:52:47 PM

Good day my Wolf Pack!

I want to say how grateful that I am for you, my Wolf Pack members! Thank you, so much for being a part of this new series project. The Snow Paw #1 Kickstarter has surpassed my every expectation! This was my highest funded and most backed KS yet! Thank you for an ASTONISHING campaign! You Wolf Pack Members ARE THE BEST! I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me continue my dream of making comic books! There is still more Snow Paw stories to be told and you are part of making that happen! I'm so very thankful that you are taking this creative journey with me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What Are the Next Steps?

A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:

First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds, so that I have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to three weeks). Kickstarter has notified me that some of the payments were declined. If funds fall behind the unlocked Milestone and Stretch Goal thresholds, I won't be able to place the orders for the bonus rewards. Please double check your payment method in your Kickstarter account, so you can get your rewards and so that we can keep all of the unlocked Milestones and Stretch Goals.

Second, I need to find out your reward delivery information to send out your rewards. I will be sending you all a Reward Delivery Survey through BackerKit to collect this information.

I will give you a heads-up before sending the survey, so that you can watch for it in your email or spam folder. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as possible, since we need this information to process your rewards.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after I send the surveys out.)

If you prefer, you can contact me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey helps me get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps me to save a lot of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing me with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.

Again, thank you all for your support. I can’t wait to send out your Snow Paw rewards!

Always your loyal pack mate,

Rob
