Digital rewards, that is.
Everyone should have receive both a message from BackerKit with their digital files AND a message directly from me through Kickstarter with your digital rewards. Huzzah!
Included in the digital files for the novel is a special bonus: a map of Toonsville by the amazing Caenwyr Cartography. Check it out!
There's a key included in the file as well so you can follow along with the different neighborhoods in the city.
Each neighborhood in this city has a different architectural style reflective of the cartoon species that inhabits it. Caenwyr did an amazing job capturing these nuances and the chaos of the city. Some of my favorite details are in the Mouse House, the Battle Monster Camps, the Looney Bin, and the Fishbowl. Enjoy!

Physical rewards have begun showing up in mailboxes, and we're closing in on the digital send date.
Just wanted to send a quick reminder that if you want your name included in the "thank you" page in the back of the ebook edition, please complete your survey by August 12. I am planning to send out the digital files on the 13th, and we're sitting at about 85% completed. I'd love it if we could get that number up to 100% :)
Here's the link in case you misplaced your survey: https://mandrill-pi-novel.backerkit.com/
Thank you again for bringing this crotchety little mandrill to life!

Both covers of the MANDRILL P.I. books arrived late last week, so I spent yesterday packing them up.
I dropped off a load of 42 packages at the post office and plan to drop off all others early this week (you should have received a tracking number from Backerkit if you were in the batch already sent).
For the first time ever, I'm fulfilling physical orders prior to digital. This is because I'm attempting to give everyone ample time to complete the survey to be included in the "Thank You" page at the back of the ebook. I plan to send out ebooks on the 13th (though I'll do so earlier if all surveys are completed prior to August 12).
