Hardbacks!
almost 4 years ago

Hello
It's been a crazy ride! My second campaign is on the way and I am over 124% funded -- woohoo! Ingram Spark finally approved my hardbacks with explicit images and I just ordered them.
The other merch should be here in May so then I will be shipping all the book boxes. I am so excited. Witch's Rose just came back from my editor. She absolutely loved the book. There are a few things I have to address but it should all be taken care of very, very soon. Witch's Rose is heavy on plot.
Although there are some steamy moments, they are not the focus and therefore, it doesn’t really match the prequel, which is scorching hot. So, you definitely don't need to read the prequel in order to enjoy Witch's Rose, although it would help you understand Baba Yaga’s character a little better. To make the two books match in style and heat, I am going to re-write the prequel. I plan to tone down all the steam and focus more on the plot. Don’t worry though—I will make both versions available. You will still get the special edition illustrated hardback as you ordered, but once the new version comes out, I will send it as a bonus to everyone who backed my campaign.
Now, let me show you one of the images from the steamy version. I am not going to censor anything. These are explicit—but I love this one.
If you enjoyed Yaga's Choice and are waiting for Witch's Rose, here is the link to the other campaign I am currently running! The artwork was unlocked and I think I will hit the audiobook goal this week. Here is one image I have commissioned … and more is coming! Isn’t it cute?

Digital Downloads

Hello
I think I have delievered all the digital downloads — they are available through backerkit. If you have any issues , please get in touch.
I have finally solved the problems with the hardbacks. These will be available through IngramSpark as Amazon proved difficult to sort out. After this, I will create a special edition hardback and start fulfiling the physical orders in May.
I also decided that I am going to publish another version of the prequel. My editor pointed out that Witch's Rose isn't as steamy as the prequel, so I am going to re-write Yaga and Veles’ story with less steamy detail, focusing more on the magic and characters.
Once I complete it, I will send that new version to all the backers, so don't worry — you will all have the copy before its release.
I'm running another Kickstarter on the 5th of April for books one and two in Baba Yaga's Legacy Series. Anyone who backs this new campaign will be able to read these books before anyone else and I am offering great early perks for any backers, so plenty more books to read for you guys. The Witch's Rose will be available for sale the week after the Kickstarter campaign ends.
Here is the link to the campaign that is launching tomorrow–https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joannamaz/witchs-rose-baba-yaga-legacy-book-1

Survey

Hi guys
I'm sorry for being quiet and not sending updates but things haven't been smooth sailing.
First, I had issues with receiving payment from Kickstarter (but they sorted this out pretty quickly), and then, of course, the issue with Amazon.
For some unknown reason, Amazon blocked my hardback of Yaga's Choice, so I was unable to sell it or buy author copies. I can't get through to anyone at the moment, so it seems that I'm banging my head against the wall, but at the same time, the paperback and ebook version are still available, which doesn't make any sense. I sent the survey using Backerkit and Kickstarter, probably confusing some of you.
Once I figure out how to operate Backerkit properly, I will be sending you all the digital files. I'm really sorry that this taking so long but it seems that Amazon is not allowing me to sell the book. I'm actually setting an account with IngramSpark and trying to set up a hardback there, so I can start sending you Baba Yaga Book Boxes! I'm just about to lock the survey on Backerkit and then you will be able to download the ebook version of Yaga's Choice.
More good news is that my office is finally ready. I have been writing in that space in the past few days and this feels like a game changer. I'm almost done with book 3, which has the tentative title of, Witch's Whispers. The digital version won't be available on sale for another several months, but as I mentioned before, I'm going to run another Kickstarter campaign, probably at the end of March, with Book 2 and Book 3. Anyone who backs the campaign will be the first to read both books before they go on sale anywhere else.
Keep an eye on your emails so you can claim your digital downloads.

Only 34hours left!

Thank you everyone who already backed this campaign. I am so happy.
There's just 34 hours left to back the Baba Yaga Book Box and get all the amazing perks I unlocked this week.
I haven't been very well on Sunday and I meant to post an update then, but I just came back from the writing retreat in Wales with ear infection and then my son got sick, so everything got postponed.
Anyone that backs the campaign by the 11th of February will receive an eight-book series in my Adult Fairy Tale Romance Series, Dark Masquerade by Sarah McClure and my latest pen name release Taken by the King.
I also went to discuss the design of special Veles necklace that is included in the Book Box and only available through Kickstarter at the moment.
Yaga's Choice is very, very steamy and it perfectly introduces my new universe that is set in the Kingdom of Opana. This series is very heavily influenced by Slavic folklore and a very famous witch Baba Yaga. I'm extremely proud of this book and I would love you to support the campaign for as little as one dollar (or a pound).
Everyone who backs my campaign by the 11th of February will also be able to participate in my super exciting Giveaway. Every backer will beentered in a draw to win signed paperback copies of the following books: On the Edge, Bringing Down the Star, The Billionaire Matchmaking Club, Yaga's Choice and Westwick's Wish.
Witch's Rose is the next book in Baba Yaga's Legacy Series and the book is ready. It's only needs to be edited and I'm already gathering followers for my next bigger campaign on Kickstarter. Here is the link in case you are not following me there yet :)

Stretch Goals

Hey guys I just want to thank you all for backing this campaign. I'm absolutely blown away by all of your support. This series is really dear to my heart and I loved writing Yaga's character. I have so many ideas for the spin off series, but first, I really have to write all the books in Baba Yaga's Legacy series, haha, before I can get to that.
Slavic Mythology is so rich and filled with so many interesting characters and creatures. I must re-read the whole Witcher series, too. I read these books when I was a teenager and a lot has changed since then. I would love to produce an audiobook for Yaga's Choice, so if I fund £2500 for this campaign then I will be able to do it.
I'm also waiting for some explicit images for this book. I have one, but I'm still waiting for another one. Do you guys want to see them?
I will write another bonus scene for this book. I know lots of people are very invested in these characters. For now, I will also send my backers all my short novellas that I have currently available: Twisted Fate, Stolen ,Magic, Hush Hush, When the Clock Strikes and Fae's Tears. Let me know if these stretch goals are okay?
