FAQ: Will there be matching editions of the Forty Proof Series books 7-9?
8 months ago – Tue, Jul 18, 2023 at 12:35:17 PM

One question I'm asked A LOT across all of my social media platforms is "Will I be able to get matching Hardcover Special  Editions for Midlife Magic Hunter, Midlife Soul Hunter, and Midlife Vampire Hunter?

And the answer is YES.

Once the last book in the series (Midlife Vampire Hunter) releases in early 2024 (or maybe late 2023) you will be able to order those three books to complete your sets!

They will be available to those who backed the Forty Proof series Kickstarter AND to new readers as well. 

In the meantime, don't miss my current Kickstarter campaign for The Nix Series

This was so much fun, let's do it again TOMORROW~

Hopefully by now you've seen posts on social media letting you know that I'm launching another Kickstarter tomorrow, July 11th! Or maybe my newsletter?

If not, you can see lots of pictures of what's coming, and preview campaign details by clicking THIS link. 

I hope you'll come on this journey with me again.

Extra copies sale, tumbler update
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 28, 2023 at 12:35:43 PM

I have great news if you are one of the customers who ordered an Inner Circle tumbler, and had to wait because they were backordered. They arrived to my team, and are being prepped for shipping.

The Gerry's Best Customer overlays are also on the way to us, so those will go out soon too. If you were a Gerry's backer and need to update your address, please use the email address below. 

If you mailing address has NOT changed, you do not need to take any action.

If you were missing your tumbler, you should have gotten an address update email from [email protected]. There will be a form linked inside that email with a way to submit address updates. If you didn't get the email, (and,  you did order a tumbler, but didn't receive it) please: 

          1)Check your spam/promotions/junk email inboxes and folders.

          2)Try doing a search for [email protected]

If you still can't find it, AND YOUR MAILING ADDRESS CHANGED since your books were sent other kickstarter packages were sent, then reach out to that email address.

Also, if you're following my Alpha Territories series, book #2 released yesterday.


Did you get just book #1 during the Kickstarter, and now wish you could get the rest of the set? YOU CAN. See those here.

Or maybe you skipped ordering Books, or a Tarot deck? Those are also available.

On Friday, I'll have my March stock drop and will list copies of just book #1, as well as a few sets of books 4-6. I've got new journals coming, as well as Alpha Territories merch, and glass tumblers!

Frequently asked questions:

Can you still order an Inner Circle Tumbler?  No. These were Kickstarter Exclusive.

When can you order the Robert Novella? Probably around June.

Will the rest of the Forty Proof Series be made in special editions to match the first 6? Absolutely!

Delivery update of all rewards - The Robert Novella is now available to backers
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 01, 2023 at 11:36:11 AM

I have excellent news if you selected the ebook or audiobook of Robert as part of your pledge! Robert has been added to your BookFunnel Library!

I am so glad that we reached the stretch goal that allowed me to write this especially for you, my project backers. I hope it is everything you wanted it to be. The Robert novella can be read at any point in the Forty Proof series without fear of spoilers. 

To get your book, log in to the BookFunnel app or my.bookfunnel.com using the same email address you provided as part of your backerkit survey. *If you do not already have a Bookfunnel account you will need to create one.*

Tumblers, and Gerry's Overlays: If you ordered a tumbler, these are still backordered. As soon as we have an update on a date for these, we will send that out.

Gerry's Page Overlay bonuses: These have been re-ordered and should be in next week.


Novella Troubleshooting information: If you log into Bookfunnel and your Robert Novella is not there, please be sure you are logging in/have created a BookFunnel account with the same email you gave us in your backerkit survey link.

If you have checked all of your email addresses and your file is not there, please follow these steps:

First, use this link to recover your Backerkit survey, and input your email address into the field. They will then send you a email with a link that will allow you to login and view your order. 

On the order page, please verify that it shows you purchased a copy of Robert, the Forty Proof Series novella. If you did not purchase a copy, I will make it available for direct purchase through my merch shop soon.

When you request your survey, if you get an error message that states "Sorry, we couldn't find a survey for that email. Be sure to use the same email you used to pledge to the project," this indicates a mismatch of your email address. If you are unable to figure out which email address your account is tied to, reach out to the team at [email protected]

 THIS VIDEO  will show you how to send your book from your bookfunnel library to your kindle app if you would like to read your book on your Kindle device.

Signing Books, and I brought a friend

Shipping week ( for the books ) is here and I'm with my team in Virginia signing books, numbering books, packing books, and having more than a few laughs along the way. Tomorrow, I'm going to do a live in my Facebook group and I'll give you a little glimpse of some of what we've been doing this week. 


Please note, because my team is all out of the office this week, we will not be answering emails until next week. If you have an issue and need assistance, please be patient as we work through emails when we return.

Our customer service email is [email protected].
