Update on Love Letters to Poe, Volume III: Tales Torn From the Heart eBook Delivery

We promised in the Three Gorgeous Gothic Hardcover Anthologies Inspired by Poe Kickstarter campaign that we would deliver the Love Letters to Poe, Volume III: Tales Torn From the Heart ebook in Oct 2024.... Cue drum roll 🥁 and excited cheers 🤩🎉 

We are excited to announce that the eBook has been delivered directly into your BookFunnel library! Whoo-hoo!! 📢 

To read your book, just log in to the BookFunnel app or my.bookfunnel.com using the email address used in the BackerKit survey. If you log in and your BookFunnel library is empty, log in to BookFunnel using your other email address to get your book. If you do not have a BookFunnel account already, you'll need to make one using the email you provided Kickstarter.

By delivering the book this way, there is no link that expires, and the book will always remain in your library. BookFunnel has excellent tech support and are happy to help solve any issues you might have if you need to contact them.

Next up: August 2024: Ordering print proofs, finalizing print versions

Janet is working on adding the cover designs to the book file for the paperback and hardcover versions of Love Letters to Poe, Volume III and the updated hardcover files for Love Letters to Poe, Volume's I and II. Once complete, we'll be ordering the print proofs. We're on track to start shipping the paperback and hardcover books in October to those who ordered them!
