Azazel the Zombie Slayer: Illustrated Storybook + Tarot Deck

Long overdue update on Azazel
9 months ago – Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 10:56:12 AM

First off, we are so very sorry for not keeping you all up to date. I promise to keep you all informed from here on.

Without going into all of the gory details, we hit some serious delays with the art and the printing but we are now back on track.  The four Azazel (and friends) stories are scheduled to have the illustrations done (there are a lot of them) and should be completed in October. After that, the manuscript will go out to the printer and we should see deliveries starting in November. The ebook version will actually go out in October.

Again, we are very sorry for both the delay in delivery, and not communicating that to all of you sooner.  I will send another update next month to keep the backers in the loop.

Sincerely,

Daniel

I hope you’re having a terrific week (and month) so far.

I’m just checking in to let you know that Dan and I are hard at work on Azazel’s short stories and the related illustrations. We’ll let you know as soon as the ebooks are ready for download.

LOCKING ORDERS IN 48 HOURS!
about 1 year ago – Sat, Feb 25, 2023 at 01:04:15 PM

Happy Caturday, beloved backers!

I hope you’re having a marvelous weekend – wherever you happen to be.

I’m just checking in to remind you that Dan and I plan to lock all orders for our Azazel Kickstarter at 4 p.m. EST on Monday, February 27th – that is, in about 48 hours. So, thanks to everyone who’s already sent back their replies and confirmed their orders (including add-ons and addresses).

At the moment, only 10 backers have yet to respond to their surveys, so if you haven’t filled yours our yet, please do so as soon as possible.

Of course, I am totally happy to give you more time if you need it. So, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, require some extra time to make your purchases, or need me to resend you the survey link.

Until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Sincerely,

Laura Martone

ALL SURVEYS ARE ON THEIR WAY!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 20, 2023 at 12:01:11 PM

Happy Monday, y’all!

Whether you’re celebrating Lundi Gras, Presidents’ Day, or another event entirely, I hope you’re having a marvelous day (or night).

As for our Azazel campaign, we’ve now received responses from 75% of the smoke-test surveys that were sent out on Friday. Thanks so much for filling out your surveys so promptly – Dan and I really do appreciate it.

Although we’re still missing a few responses, we don’t want to delay the rest of our wonderful backers, so we’ve decided to distribute the remaining surveys today. Please check your email inbox (or spam folder) for this bit of BackerKit correspondence, and pretty please (with king cake on top) send back your responses (including any add-on purchases) as soon as possible.

In order to arrange our tarot readings and upload our February rewards (such as the digital image, the French Quarter map, some add-on ebooks, and the 20 free ebooks promised to all $5-and-up backers), we’ll need to lock all orders on Monday, February 27 – one week from today. But, naturally, if you need more time, have any questions or comments, or simply don’t receive your survey, please let me know right away. I will happily (and promptly) address any concerns you might have and, if necessary, resend your survey link.

Also, if you know anyone who might be interested in our storybooks, tarot deck, or other collectibles, please feel free to send them the link to our BackerKit store (https://azazelzombieslayer.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders).

And as always, thanks for your help, interest, and support!

Sincerely,
Laura Martone
