Newest update! 

Update

 

Hello everyone. I'm coming in with an update. Today I was supposed to have the replacement book I have been waiting on delivered, and it arrived with a problem. (I'm going to attach a picture so you know I'm not just saying there is a problem, because there really is. Pictures at the bottom if you are veiwing from a phone and not a desk top) The company sprayed the books with the wrong color, and as I was signing books, I realized that book 2's spine had the wrong number graphic on it. 

​

 I've contacted the book company and am waiting on their response. This project has turned into a massive loss on my end, and I'm trying to figure out my next move. I'm still hoping to send out the books, but I refuse to send you all this when we have been waiting for so long. I truly apologize for the time frame. There was a traumatic death in the family and some health issues on my end that had me in the hospital with several surgeries. I have lost most of my hair, and I'm currently rocking a wig. (Thank heavens for that! No one wants to see a bald Bri) We are also recovering from chicken pox over here, which has been an adventure. 

​

I want you all to know that I have all the swag. (BVU shot glass, Stickers, Special Edition art, BVU candle, and more) I've used the funds to pay for the artist and get the books and swag, but we keep running into problem after problem. I'm going to consult with the printers and my husband on what to do next and get back to you all with a solution. 

​

Again, I'm so sorry. I will not be doing the SE again without someone running the show and probably with a different printer.

Email updates for the first half of the BVU SE

​

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in the update. I had some health issues that I'm truly hoping are resolved with this new medication, and I can get back to writing and working.

Emails to verify the address for the first half of the books have already begun to be sent out, and they should be completed by the end of this week.

(Aug 17th) 

If you don't receive an email by then, please check your spam folder. If it's not there, email me at bmclemton@gmail.com or message my wonderful PA, Jessica Gilly. My Facebook Messenger has been super weird lately, and I've missed several messages, so email or contacting Jessica will be the best way to contact me. 

​

The final art piece (the biggest and most expensive piece I have ever done) is almost complete and will be included in the second half of the SE that ships out. It's amazing and will only be available with the SE or at book signings! I'm so excited for you all to see it. Also, the special gift I have added for you all is almost here! (Also going out in the final half of the books. )

Hello Everyone! First, I'd like to apologize for this post's tardiness. I wrote it back on the 14th and forgot to hit the publish button in the corner.  **que embarasment**

​

Here is the update for the SE.

The first three books are looking good, and I plan on prepping and shipping these out when I get back from Australia. The last box of book 3 (Knight Forsaken) is supposed to show up in June, so it will be all hands on deck to sign, wrap, and ship them to you. The final three books are complete, and proofs are being shipped to me as we speak! YAY! If there are no errors in the printing and sprayed edges, then all three books will be shipped together and should be here so much faster than the first three. 

I do want to sincerely apologize for the delay in these books. I seriously underestimated what was needed, and that is entirely on me. I will strive to do better in the future. As of right now, I'm pushing back the release of my upcoming book as I have been putting the majority of my time into speeding up the printing of these books with my designer and formatter. I have also added an extra special present that I'm so excited for you to have in these books. They will go out with the final three books. 

When I return from the book signing in Australia, I should have an exact date for shipping the first three books, but I'm hoping for sometime in July. And the last three (Depending on the proof) will be at the end of summer (September is my hope).  

Here is what you can expect in the first three books-

​

Gold foiled covers/sprayed edges

Book 1- OG manuscript. 

Book 2- 1 bonus chapter and Dani/Dax art printed in the book

Book 3- 1 bonus chapter, and Zane/Dani art in the book

3 colored art prints, a BVU bracelet, and stickers will accompany the first set of books. The remaining swag and bonus chapters will be in the final set.

Hello everyone! So sorry for the lack of updates. With this release, I have been so far behind on everything! 

As far as The Special Editions go, things are moving along, even if it's much slower than I thought. Book 2 proof looked great, and the books are printed and shipping (Shipping is where a lot of our time is, and I wasn't anticipating how long it took to get these bad boys shipped to me). The sprayed edges are amazing, but they have also added time to the printing process (If you haven't read the previous updates below, we are now getting sprayed edges! Don't worry about extra costs; I had a few people reach out asking if they would be charged more for this, and that won't happen.  It's something I'm super excited about, and I'm covering myself)

Book 3 proof had a massive error that I'm so glad we caught. It is currently being fixed and those are being printed. 

Since this is taking much longer than I thought it would, I figured it would be a good idea to ship out the first three books when I get enough swag shipped in (Art prints and swag are so amazing, and several are already here, with a few more on their way!) That way, you fabulous readers can love on the first few books while we wait on the last three! 

​

I'm currently working with the formatter on getting some of the art actually in the book in black and white (you will also be getting the colored art prints). So, fingers crossed, the printer will let it all go through smoothly. For next month's update, I'm hoping to show you another sneak peek at the books! So keep your eyes peeled!

Girls! I have a brand new proof of book one, W/SPRAYED EDGES, and let me tell you, I'm so excited. Adding the sprayed edges came at a cost, but I'm going to provide it and cover the extra because these SEs are only happening this one time, and I think it will be worth the extra time and money to make them perfect. 

​

Book one, with the beautiful purple sprayed edges we color-matched to the cover, is printed and currently on the way to me. I'm waiting for the proof of book two right now, and once that's here, those will also be printed and shipped to me. The process is taking slightly longer than I hoped, but the books are coming out beautifully, and I promise to keep this blog updated for you all so you know where we are in the process. 

​

Thank you so much for your time and patience. This is the first time ordering this type of Special Edition, and I'm still learning the process, but I'll ensure the books are perfect for you all!

(I added a sneak peek of book one so you can see the color of the purple sprayed edges.)

The proof copy is beautiful! Everything is looking good. I'm currently in discussion with the designers to see if we can squeeze in some sprayed edges for these beauties! I will hopefully have an answer for that in the next few weeks! 

​

Keep checking back on updates here on the blog. I'm going to try to post here at least once a month to keep you all informed.

 

Once I have an answer on the sprayed edges I will be sending out an email update to those who have ordered!
