Why This Project?

I am a queer woman loving woman who married her university sweet heart. I’m also a rabid bookworm who adores fantasy and romance. I love shiny, pretty books.

But I have a problem, I can only ever find those beautiful special edition books for straight people with straight romance and straight Not Safe For Work (NSFW) art in them. And that just isn’t fair.

That’s one of the main reasons I started writing queer romance, and it’s entirely the reason I’m running this Kickstarter. Because I want a special edition, beautiful book with sexy lesbian art in it, that’s full of spicy scenes, stunning character art and foiled pages!

So if you’re a queer person, or even an ally who loves to support the LGBTQIA+ community, then you’re in the right place.

How Does Kickstarter Work?

Kickstarter is a crowd funding platform. Essentially you pledge a certain amount of money for a “Tier”.  Within that tier you get a set of goodies. Including things like signed books, character art and more.

When the campaign reaches certain funding stretch goals, you unlock even more goodies that are included as part of your original pledge.

What’s included in the special edition?

The Book

The book has a Kickstarter only cover, the blood drips off the roses instead of the title—like it does on the standard edition. It’s also holographically foiled. The foil is rainbow coloured and shimmers rainbow in the light. The front, back and spine are foiled along with the case laminate (the hard cardboard cover under the jacket) too (front and back). The book has head and tail bands in branded vampire black and red and because we hit funding, it will have a matching black ribbon too. What’s more, each book is hand signed and numbered by me. Inside the book is a beautiful map and there will be colour NSFW art of the spicy scenes.

The Book Box

In the book boxes (depending on the tier) you’ll get things like:

• Character stickers
• Bookmark
• NSFW art prints
• Map print
• Playlist print
• Kinky list print
• Vibrator (yes, you read that right).

For me this is all about creating an experience for you while reading, and I write smut… so… vibrators.

And as a sneak peek you can see one of the NSFW art works pieces below.

The Stretch Goals (which have already been hit!!)

No Kickstarter would be complete without stretch goals, so when we you certain funding goals you get more bonus goodies at no extra cost. For me, this includes:

• Three extra, brand new bonus spicy scenes
• Those bonus spicy scenes narrated by me in audio
• Extra NSFW art in the book
• Art prints of the NSFW scenes
• An evening in conversation with Ruby!

I’ve never been so proud of a book I’ve created and you really do not want to miss this Kickstarter because it is limited edition. You will not be able to buy this cover or version of the book with all the art inside it anywhere. Nor will the standard editions include any of the art (save the map).
