Status Reports & Patron Tier Adjustments (Patreon)

Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a good week. I have a few announcements to make, so I figured it was best to get them all out of the way. 

(Also, oops, I wish someone had told me I accidentally released Patchwork Earth's new update twice! The Friday Night update was the more polished, so it stays).

1) Based on your feedback, I'll be suspending the Patron Exclusive Art after September. The last Patron Art Reward is currently in production and will be delivered as normal next month. This doesn't mean that I won't continue to commission art from Magpie Wizard and Patchwork Earth (as well as other ideas in the pipeline). You just won't see the requests for polls. Though, if you have characters you'd like more art of, let me know!

2) Work on Magpie Wizard Book 3 and Patchwork Earth Book 1 is continuing on schedule. I'll keep up the current pace of Patchwork Earth releases on Saturdays through the end of August. Then, Magpie Wizard will take its place on Saturday, and I've decided on Tuesdays for Patchwork Earth updates. 

3) Editing work on the final version of Magpie Wizard Book 2 continues apace. I have a beta reader doing one last deep dive on it, which will delay the final PDF/Epub release here a bit. I anticipate it coming up in the middle of September at some point. I won't accidentally release it on Kindle early this time (learned my mistakes from last time), so you'll have more time to download it. Some bits have been expanded and revised compared to the Patron and online serial release, so I'll be sure to point out points of interest. However, the events of Book 2 won't change much.

4) Like other serial authors I work with, I will be introducing a tiered release system. Everybody is still going to get the same amount of new Magpie Wizard every week (2-3 chapters, depending), but those at higher tiers will get earlier access. I'll have a more formal breakdown of how it will work when we get closer. 

Take care of yourselves out there, and thanks as always for your continued patronage, support and good vibes.
