Stunning Cover & Pretties Inside!

My Riders of Fire Deluxe Illustrated Collector's Edition Kickstarter is underway. 

Don't you just LOVE this cover by Saint Jupiter, a young Italian artist?

Have you seen the quirky video on my project page yet?

It's been amazing bringing this project together! With artists from the Pacific, Asia and Europe, and project management in New Zealand and the USA, internal design in New Zealand, it's truly an international project. 

 But telling you that doesn't mean much, right?

Seeing is believing. Get to know the dragons of Dragons' Realm and their Riders of Fire!

Take a peek right here! 

This is an ambitious project. The outlay to produce this print run is far beyond anything I've done before. I'd love your support to help the project fly! 

In return you'll receive an exquisite edition of the first 3 books in Riders of Fire, a series that has had thousands of readers enthralled around the globe. 

Thank you.


Cheers from my sunny little office in New Zealand,

Eileen Mueller

What's Next?

A.J. Ponder and I hope you're enjoying your special edition Dragon Shifters' Hoard hardbacks, ebooks  and swag packs. It's been a few months since you received your goodies, and we hope you've had chance to crack open those gorgeous covers and embark on lots of fiery adventures with the Draki Twins, Snow and Red.

We've both been busy writing up a storm since the special edition hardbacks shipped, but this time, not together. For the foreseeable future, we'll each be working on our own books.

 A.J. has been working on her series, Into Faerland with books 3 & 4 in the works.

I've been fleshing out my Riders of Fire Dragon Masters series, with Dragon Captain, book 5 just hitting the virtual shelves ten days ago. These stories are prequels to my popular award-winning and  bestselling Riders of Fire series. If you haven't seen them, here are both series!

I've had readers asking me when I'll be running another Kickstarter... and begging me to include my epic fantasy books. So, now I have an exciting secret project in the works... 

Well, it's a secret as long as the dragonets running around my office don't leak the news early! Hopefully, you'll hear from me soon.

In the meantime, some of my friends have lovely special edition Kickstarter projects running. Enjoy them. The tabletop gaming swag closes within 24 hours, so get in quick!

I'll catch you back here when my back office dragons are ready to roar the news of my next exciting project to the world! Hopefully, it won't be too long!

Yay! Swag and Books Have Been Delivered!
10 months ago – Tue, Jun 20, 2023 at 03:16:53 AM

Yay! Your books and swag should be with you now!

In New Zealand, winter is closing in... A.J Ponder and I envy those of you in northern climes who are heading into a warm summer! We'd like to wrap up our Dragon Shifters' Hoard special edition Kickstarter campaign by letting you know where things are at!

Swag Shipments

Back in early May, these pretty postcards, character cards, bookmarks and stickers were sitting in shrink wrap in Texas, waiting to shipped while our PA's family was recovering from covid. However, they were all shipped 5 weeks ago and should be with you now. The shipment of swag to New Zealand took a long time, but ours finally arrived this week, so we could ship them on to our New Zealand backers! We're hoping our UK supporters have received theirs by now, too.

Our swag finally arrived in New Zealand. We believe we were the last to receive ours, which is hilarious, but we're used to living so far away from everyone and everything!

Book Delivery

We've checked in the order and delivery system and all the paperback and hardback special edition  books were shipped a few weeks ago, so they should have arrived with you too. We hope you're enjoying your adventures with the Dragon Shifters' Hoard special editions and that you're loving your adventures with Dante, Red, Snow and Zephyr. And Penny... (no, not her!!!) and Connor. 

Epilogue

Remember to download your bonus epilogue, but whatever you do, don't read it until you've finished the series!

If you haven't downloaded your ebooks yet, this is your final reminder to do so. If you can't locate the email we sent you with links to your books, our last Kickstarter update explains how to download everything. If your books haven't arrived yet or if there were quality issues with the printing, please contact Eileen here.

Thank you!

Thanks to all the keen fans who sent us photos of their swag and books. If you'd like to post pictures of your books, feel free to pop them in Eileen's facebook group or tag her on Instagram. And thanks, once again, for bringing these lovely books to life. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
