Sneak Peek At My Next Project! 👀

Thanks again everyone for making Black Market Heart a dream come true! Today I'm excited to share my next project with you - special edition hardcovers for my space opera series Stargun Messenger!

You can save it to be notified when it launches here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darbyharn/stargun-messenger-sci-fantasy-limited-edition-hardcover

This campaign is for hardcover editions of books 1 and 2! I originally intended to do a hardcover for book one last year, featuring character art of Gen Emera, a living star, on the back. Plans fell through but now you can help bring my original vision to life! This series is basically if Star Wars and Lord of the Rings had a baby... it's a fun, snarky, sci-fantasy adventure with a healthy dose of romance. And here's your first look at the cover for Book 2!

I hope you'll join me on this epic galactic adventure later this summer! 🚀
 

Fulfilment Is Complete!

All formats of Black Market Heart have been sent! 

I've addressed one or two hiccups in the mailing, but if you have not received your books or have any questions, please let me know. I want to thank everyone again for all your support in helping make this project come to life. I've learned a lot and can't wait to set out on my next Kickstarter adventure. Hopefully, you'll want to come along with me! 

Thank you again! ❤️

Begun The Shipping Has!
3 months ago – Mon, Apr 15, 2024 at 11:08:39 AM

Today I started shipping books to backers! 

Shipments will continue this week and then this campaign will come to an end. Hard to believe. 🙃 Thank you so much once again for your support!

If you have physical books coming to you, you can check on the status of your order through BackerKit. You'll find a tracking number there once it's been posted.

Reminder digital rewards have gone out so be sure to download those if you haven't already!

And if you're enjoying the books, please feel free to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. The best way to support indie authors in particular is word of mouth. Thank you again!

The Books Are Here! Fulfillment Begins! 🥳

Backer copies have arrived! 

Those of you who ordered physical books of Black Market Heart or the Eververse Hardcover four-book set will have them shipped very soon. For those of you who paid through shipping or any other add-ons through BackerKit - your cards will be charged on Monday. Just FYI in case you get a notice. Once that is complete, orders will start going out in the mail!

I am so excited to finally share these books with you. This has been a dream come true. You've helped make the book a reality and I'm deeply grateful.

For anyone interested in any last-minute add-ons, the BackerKit store is still open but I will close it once fulfillment completes in the next week or so. At that point, the Eververse Hardcover Set will go in the vault (other books you'll be able to get through my direct store).

The Eververse wears its love for comics and superheroes on its sleeve. If you're looking for more comic book fun, consider following When We Transform, an upcoming comic book campaign from Tomi Trembath. I've seen the first issue and it's incredible!

Digital Rewards Are Here! 🎉

It's here!

I'm so excited to be getting the Black Market Heart ebook out into the world! For digital backers, the link to download your book was sent earlier today. Check your email, and please let me know if you need me to resend the link. Your ebook includes the bonus short stories "Messengers of The Dead" and "Betrayal Cake"! Also, you'll find links to other ebooks you may have ordered, like the Eververse Vol. 1 ebook and Stargun Messenger. You'll also receive the Digital Art Package, with Desktop Wallpaper and a downloadable bookmark of The Interdictor.

Black Market Heart ebook

I hope you enjoy the book! It's been a long road to get here and I appreciate your support and enthusiasm. It would mean a lot if you'd leave a review in the usual places, like Goodreads

Print Books

Now that the print proofs have turned out so well, I've ordered backer copies. Those should be to me by mid-April, and I'll be fulfilling orders from there. More updates to come! Thank you so much for your patience!
