Update on the Zoe Charm

Spearcarrier

Okay this will hopefully be the last time I talk bout the Zoe charm… but I have a final update even though the Kickstarter campaign was a bust.

As you probably know, I had made about 9 of these charms myself using an oven and borrowed work time for the sake of Chapter 2. These charms, which are for Chapter 1, are the starter editions and it just didn’t feel right to carry on to Chapter 2 knowing I was going to plan a charm per chapter without having chapter 1’s made at least a little bit. And I realized how neat they would be with something special. Since 10 Confessions is a romance, I decided that each charm should have their own little heart charm. Zoe’s got the last of my glass-possibly-Austria-crystal heart charms. I had *exactly* enough to cute them up with. See?

I kept one for myself (of course) and have already sent one to her new home. The rest are in a happy box waiting for people to love them. You can find them here if you like: http://apocalypsewriters.com/ooakleaf/2012/09/12/zoe-charm/

The bookmarks I made for chapter 1 are here… I won’t be making any more of those. I’m serious when I say something is limited edition. If you want a 10 Confessions chapter 1 bookmark, you’re welcome to contact me privately and make an offer. And thus Chapter 1 has some things made in preparation for the birth of Chapter 2.

As for the “ash-cans”, it’s beyond my scope right now to have any made so I’m not going to. I guess each chapter just won’t have ash-cans – although I do still intend to do the “graphic novels” every so many chapters. I’ll have to get creative on what to give next chapter.

If you’re curious about 10 Confessions, it can be found just about everywhere Smashwords distributes to as well as Amazon.com. Or you can simply go here: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/23596

The charm is real! (But the cake is a lie.)

It’s been a nifty day for two of the Apocalypse projects: good news all around. News that made me squeal in joy.

The first was an email from one of the backers of Pestilence’s book, The Page of Cups. It appears that their book finally arrived and their “girls” love it. They sent pictures: probably the best pictures of the book ever. EVER! With the girls. I thought you’d like to take a look:

And you can see in this next image, his girls are even dancing around the circle ho-down style:

What wonderful news!

Also, in an attempt to remain positive about 10 Confessions’ predicament with the Kickstarter campaign, I put out a private email to what backers there were offering them a free PDF of chapter 1 if the campaign failed. After all, I write this thing so it will be read. I certainly don’t mind giving away a free copy or two.

I also made 10 little chapter 1 charms all by myself – because if each chapter is going to have an associated charm I gotta start somewhere. Even if the campaign fails. For consistency. Here’s a movie about them.
