We have a little over a week left! Are you excited yet? I am!
We need a few more backers to reach our first stretch goal - a set of bookmarks for everyone! Would you help spread the word? An easy way is just to share this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cjbrightley/a-long-forgotten-song-complete-series-christian-fantasy
After that, we're only 25 more backers from unlocking vellum overlays! At 100 backers, every backer of a physical book tier will receive the vellum overlay featuring the alternate cover art for book 4 included in their pledge! Everyone who backed an ebook-only tier will have the option to add that overlay for $6 plus $2 domestic shipping, and everyone will have the option of adding the overlays featuring the cover art of any of the four books (you choose which ones you want).
What does that alternate cover art look like? Check it out!
Thank you for your support! Happy reading!
Much love,
Cecilia

Over halfway there! I'm looking forward to seeing the bookmarks and unlocking our next stretch goal. Vellum overlays will be unlocked at 100 backers! Can we make it?
Don't forget to check out the add-ons for my other books! All physical copies are signed, and there are also ebooks and audiobooks. The series below, The Wraith, is available in ebook, signed paperback, signed hardback, and audiobook!
One reviewer said of Things Unseen - "I was given this book as a gift before an international trip. It was the first novel I have read by this author, and I am impressed. Very well written, with a great tempo, suspenseful plot line, and compelling characters. I chose to read it instead of watch the inflight movies... well, more accurately... I couldn't put it down, so my plans for a Harry Potter marathon went out the window. I can't wait to read the second in the series, The Dragon's Tongue, and plan to get signed copies off her website to give as Christmas gifts to my teenaged nephews. Great book!"
Signed books make fantastic Christmas gifts!
Thank you for your support!
Much love,

P.S. - These campaigns by fellow authors look interesting!

We're getting closer to unlocking the bookmarks in Stretch Goal #1! They'll look fantastic. Can you help spread the word about the campaign? The more readers, the better!
Stretch Goal #2:
Since we're making such good progress, let's talk about Stretch Goal #2! I actually have an alternate cover for Children of Wrath (book 4). I didn't think I'd be able to contact Vuk, the artist who did the first three covers, so I turned to another talented artist, Wojtek, who had some art pieces for other projects both for me and for JA Andrews (epic fantasy author and good friend of mine). Wojtek is super talented and the piece he gave me was amazing, but when I was able to get in touch with Vuk, it felt right to have him finish out the series - the style match is better and it just felt like the right thing to do. But Wojtek's piece is incredible!
Stretch Goal #2 will involve this second piece - an art print or vellum overlay. Which would you prefer? Or another bookmark?
THANK YOU for following my project! THANK YOU^2 if you've already supported it. I hope these books bless you and encourage you.

Thank you for your support! We're off to a fantastic start. I am so excited to share this series with you, especially the final book!
I just announced our first stretch goal:
Stretch Goal #1: Bookmarks!
Four bookmarks, each one with an awesome closeup of the cover art from one of the books!
This will be unlocked when we reach 75 backers and will be added to everyone's perks automatically!
Thank you!

P.S. - My friend W.R. Gingell has a Kickstarter going right now, too! I recently finished her The Worlds Behind series and really enjoyed it. You can check the new series KS here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wolfskinaudiobook/splintered-mind-an-aussie-urban-fantasy-hardback
