We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary so I am going to jiggle the rewards around some. Mainly because I apparently can't keep track of time and forget to do shit or just get overwhelmed and forget to do shit. I want to make sure you guys are getting rewards worth waiting for even if they're late.

 If you are at the 5.00 mark or higher, as I put the Bound Gods books into print (and I am one at a time slowly) you will receive these as a reward. I am planning on 1 every 2-3 months, if I get them done quicker, then they will go out quicker. 

If you are at the 7.00 tier and higher you will get any additional new releases that go out and come in print. I will try to get Pandora's Heart out in print at the same time I do the ebook. I know I'm bad about doing things on time. I'd give you a long run down excuse but it boils down to being autistic which in turn snowballs other things.  If it weren't for Sharon I'd keep nothing together. She's probably the best friend I've had since Lori died twelve years ago. She helps me tons, but she also has a life and can't stay on me 24/7. But she tries, trust me :) So please bear with me.

New trading cards. They have FINALLY arrived. My art, plus art from Yulia (I have been waiting months for) will go out shortly. I am heading to Sharon's today so there will be rewards for the lower tier members as well. 

Another job on my agenda at this point is to conglomerate all the current pages of Bitter Sweet and put them into a "comic". These will go out in print to 5.00 and higher tiers and the 1-3 tiers will receive a PDF of the comic. 

This comic will also go on sale on Amazon and my website. So if you know people who want a copy, just let them know. And I'll make some memes you guys can spread around. If you're on any Yaoi facebook pages and art is allowed, please post it if you don't mind.

I am thinking of having some stickers made as well and wanted to know what kind of stickers you guys would like to have? 

Also since it is coming up on a year anniversary I want to do something for EVERYONE including the lower tiers. So I am going to discuss with Sharon about sending a physical reward to every member :) It will be light enough that it should mail cheaply, but be usable too. 

I have new Bitter Sweet pages again. YAY--apparently they have a kind of mandatory black out period or something like that where Yulia is and they turn her internet off at random and she has no way to communicate or send stuff. She did warn me that this would happen before I hired her. It seems it's sometimes more often than others but she's getting me extra pages so hopefully I won't get behind again. 

And FINALLY---Pandora is off to the second editor. If all goes as planned I should have it out in a week to ten days. I am not gonna put a date on it because I don't want to miss it. All the tier $5 and higher will receive a copy before it comes out. I just ask you one big favor, if you have time and don't mind, please make sure to leave a review as soon as it hits Amazon and on Goodreads at any time. I give up KU free reads when I give away the books (and no I am not complaining just explaining what I mean) so they don't count towards my sales and Amazon doesn't give boots or exposure if you're not getting lots of sales. Again, I do not mind giving this up because you guys do so much more but because of that, again if you don't mind, please talk about the book to your friends, enemies, the weird guy standing in line at wall-mart at 2am wearing bunny slippers and bootie shorts. I don't care if you hate it, still talk about it. Tell people why you love/hated it. It's just important that word gets around its out. Bound Gods is one of those series people read, but don't want to admit it. I quite literally get a tiny, tiny, tiny number of reviews in comparison to how many books I've sold over the years. And without reviews I don't get seen on Amazon. Without sales, well, I've had series die a quick death because of it. Series that I love to write, and love the characters. Sadly, I'm not wealthy enough to write books just for the hell of it. Maybe one day (because I seriously have some fucked up stories I'd like to do that I am 99% sure most my audience wouldn't touch), but that is not today. Right now I do not see this happening with Bound Gods because so many of you DO talk about it and I thank you for that with ALLLLLLL my heart. 


Anyhow, that's my new update and thank you so much for supporting me which helps a ton during skinny months and makes it possible for me to do the Bitter Sweet comics as well as my own drawing (which helps when I have blocks).

Thank you so much, Adrienne and Sharon! I'm still here cheering you on!

Everything you're saying sounds great! I think you should let yourself be inspired for the stickers. I'm pretty sure anything you choose will be great. Personally, I'd love a bumper sticker that says 'Adrienne Wilder Rocks... Bound Gods Forever'!!!! Unfortunately, I've had to give up driving (and practically all walking) since a work accident a few years ago, so the sticker will have to go on my wheelchair or my husband's car! I, too, wasn't aware of your autism, but I totally understand your difficulties as I have a 17 year old son who is autistic. He's doing quite well in his current carpentry (roofing, house-building, etc) studies here in France and he's making more and more friends as time goes on. However, he has always had great difficulties reading (Thank God for Audible!) and writing, even more so in understanding subjects such as physics, chemistry and math which he says are worse than trying to understand Chinese! It's reassuring to see that people such as yourself are able to do great things with their lives, even if that means needing the support of the 'Sharons' of this world. (Thank you Sharon!) Thank you also Tracey for mentioning your girlfriend. I haven't had any contact with people who know about the difficulties of dealing with autism until now. It's been very frightening at times... Thank you again Adrienne for all the sharing you do. You know how wonderful I think you are!
