Hello
I have been working really hard in the past few week, I was burried in edits for Witch's Whispers and I can finally announce that the book is finished.
The book needs to go through the full comprahensive edit before it will be published in around August time, but I am planning to do early access release through my Patreon.
If you loved Witch's Rose then you will want to read the continuation of Dali story. I'm planning to release one chapter a week, so if you would like to read get your hands on early chapters please check out this link

Moving on to even bigger news!
I and my co-author Mina Snowe are preparing to launch a new Kickstarter campaign for our latest release: "Consumed"
I write mainly Mafia Romance and Contemporary Romance under the name of Josie Marks, but I haven't really been advertising this amongst my readers.
However, this Special Edition Hardback is not going to be available anywhere else, only through Kickstarter, and we are super excited to share the following link with you first!
The cover is absolutely gorgeous and if you love age gap romance and hot mafia men, then please gives us a follow here:
New Kickstarter
We are preparing something very, very special for this campaign, some very hot and exclusive merch, so keep an eye on your inbox. We are so pumped up about it!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
These are all the updates so far, but I will be sending another newsletter next week with more content!
Take care,
Joanna

Hi
Good news! I have managed to post all the physical rewards. Most of them were sent via normal UK post, and one was sent via courier—it will be collected tomorrow. Everyone should be getting their parcels hopefully by mid-June.
I can't believe my other Kickstarter campaign ended almost 10 days ago. It was an intense and crazy ride, but I am already thinking about the next one.
Next, I am going to run a campaign for a roleplaying game. It will be a sort of Baba Yaga World Bible, so the book will contain some scenarios for the D&D game, characters, maps, and super cool graphics. Everything will be set in the Baba Yaga world from the Yaga's Choice and Witch's Rose books.
However, I need to announce that I managed to release The Witch's Rose sooner than I anticipated. I have decided to enroll the book in Kindle Unlimited for three months, but after that it will be out on all the major retailers. For now, the book is only available in digital format but once I will get the final version, I will have the paperback and hardback available for sale, too.
Good news! I also managed to finished writing book 2 and an extra bonus scene, so next is editing and publication yaaa!
In the past week, I also plotted another book that is set up in the same universe as The Witch's Rose.
The book will be titled "The Witch and the Beast (Cardinal Sins Series book 1)"
My designer from Romania is already creating an amazing cover for this new book and I am super pumped. This book will be about a young witch called Satara who is closely connected to Baba Yaga. This book will take place around 50 years before the events of The Witch's Rose, when Jadwiga was one of the most powerful witches in the Kingdom of Opana. And you will not need to read any of my books to enjoy it.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Everything is almost here!

Hey guys!
Good news. I have finally received the hardbacks from Ingram and although they made a mistake with sending me all special edition's ones, I should be fine sending them out instead of normal hardbacks, so there will be no delays. I am just waiting for a few more items and then I will be sending you all your physical rewards. I'm away from the 24th so if I can't ship your prize before then, everything will be going out in the beginning of June.
I can't believe my other Kickstarter campaign ended almost 10 days ago. It was an intense and crazy ride, but I am already thinking about the next one.
I am still a little unsure what I am going to create for the next campaign. It's either going to be a new book or a roleplaying game, so watch this space.

Good news! I am almost done with book 2, as well! I literally need to write the ending and then edit the whole thing, but this book is done!
I'm also going to write the bonus scene that will expand on the relationship between Dali and Lech. I know I haven't hit my final stretch goal for this, but I am going to write it anyway and make it available to my newsletter and Kickstarter subscribers.
As I said before, this series is incredibly special to me and I already know what is going to happen in books 3 and 4.

This is the final countdown.
I just wanted to let you guys now that the campaign for Witch's Rose ends in 10 hours and if you enjoyed Yaga's Choice please check the next book in this series.
I also have a special surprise. If you pledge in the last 26 hours in a tier higher than £20, you will get one of my PNR paperbacks for FREE!!
As I said before, this book is incredibly special to me and I'm already plotting books 3 and 4. I'm also planning to write a lot more books in this universe.
I have unlocked the fifth stretch goal and I am so close to the last one which will unlock another two exclusive bonus scenes!
Do you think I can get to £8000? I am super confident that I can, as there re another 26hrs to go… Woot woot!
Thanks
Joanna
Hardbacks!

Hey everyone!
Hey everyone! Unfortunately, I had another issue with hardbacks (sigh).
I was hoping to receive them this week, but Ingram just emailed me to say that there was a problem with the file (OMG).
I quickly reuploaded the new file, so now the order will be reprinted and then shipped. I'm really sorry for the delay, but the books are coming—the ones with special edition illustrations (very, very explicit images) that are added to the hardback. I do have some good news, too: as I mentioned in my other update, I am running another campaign for book one in the series, The Witch's Rose, and book two, Witch's Whispers. This campaign is 172% funded and the fourth goal has just been unlocked.
Now, I need to think about other stretch goals. Here is the link to the other campaign:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joannamaz/witchs-rose-baba-yaga-legacy-book-1
This book is almost done. I just emailed my editor the final revisions and once she gets it back to me, it will be ready for publication. After this, I need to write a quick novella under my dark mafia romance pen name, and when I’m done, it’s back to the Witch's Whispers book. I have around 30k more words to write. I can't wait to start packing all the orders and send them to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Joanna
