Hello all! Apologies if you get this message more than once.
A few years ago, you backed one of my awesome Kickstarters to bring such books as the Creature Court trilogy and Castle Charming into the world.
Next month, I'm launching a new campaign to publish Time of the Cat, a fabulous cozy SFF novel about time travel and cats. But mostly cats.
As usual I'll be bundling my books with a bunch of fun, creative rewards including collaborations with local makers and some of my favourite artists. I can't wait to reveal all!
Castle Charming -- final week

Hello Creature Court backers!
I hope you're all doing OK. I just wanted to send out one last nudge about the Castle Charming Kickstarter, which is heading into its final week of crowdfunding.
For those of you who have pledged already -- thank you! I'm excited to put this book into your hands. For everyone else -- check out the page today!
Castle Charming is a story of love, loss, magic that can't be trusted, wishes gone wrong, royal scandals and devoted loyalty. There's also crocodile monsters, snakes in a tower, spinning wheel curses and a lot of kissing! It's a lighter read on the whole than the Creature Court, but isn't that what we all need in these uncertain times?
Here's what some readers have said about the Castle Charming stories:
Stay safe, line your nest with books, and look after each other!
Much love,
Tansy RR

Hello, Creature Court backers! It's been a while. How are you?
I'm excited to share a brand new book project on Kickstarter with you this week. For the last four years, I've been writing the Castle Charming novellas, a series of broken fairy tales, messy feelings and magic that nobody should trust. They've been published as ebooks, and as podcast serials.
For the first time, all four novellas (and a bonus story) will now be collected in a print edition, including paperback and hardback options, with many more gorgeous rewards -- all available right here on Kickstarter.
Is there an enamel pin?
Of course there is! Kathleen Jennings, who produced the extraordinary Creature Court sword-and-roses pin, has designed something truly wonderful for Castle Charming supporters. I have also commissioned Kathleen to design a unique book plate which will be going out with all physical copies of the book.
There's lots more, including special scenes written just for you, hand-painted dolls, fabric bookmarks -- and even more exciting, we're already 86% funded. And it's only Day 3 of the campaign!
Will there be stretch goals?
Yes, yes there will. You can see the first two stretch goals on the Kickstarter page, but if all goes well there will be much more to come...
Stay brilliant,
Tansy Rayner Roberts xx
