Reviews Finally Allowed? Amazon and Goodreads Links!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 08:48:01 AM

A quick update, book fans!  Last post, I talked about the Trade Edition of the book and how you all can help me out by leaving reviews on Amazon.

Apparently, back then many of you were unable to leave reviews due to some invisible walls on Amazon!  Now it seems those walls have finally come down thanks to a few verified Amazon buyers leaving their own reviews, which now opens up the review process to those who bought my book outside of Amazon.

So if you have a moment to leave your review once more, I'd really appreciate it!  Feel free to attach images of your colored pages and show off what you've done since you've received your book.  I'd love to see (as I'm sure other fans would, too!).

I am the sole small publisher of this book right now and your reviews help me out by building faith with the community.  I'd be ever so grateful if you took the time to leave them!

If you run into any trouble again, let me know!  I wasn't aware of these invisible walls within Amazon till far too late, sadly.

My thanks, in advance!  The Birthstone Goddesses are entering their final phase now, which means exciting things are ahead, so keep an eye on your feeds!

Stay safe and healthy, everyone,

- Angela S.

Trade Edition Released + I Need Your Reviews!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 09:30:51 AM

Long time no see, my lovely coloring book Backers!  

I've returned with some exciting news about the coloring book.  I've finally released a Trade Edition which is available for non-Backers!  The coloring pages included are the same as the Kickstarter Edition, but you guys have the version with the extra sparkle and shine of the gold foil butterflies, plus my signature inside.

If you know of anyone who'd like to get the book, but missed the Kickstarter, you can direct them to my shop, where they can get a signed Trade Edition.  The book is also on Amazon, but it won't come signed there and I receive a larger cut of the profits when folks buy directly from me.

Buy the book direct from the artist here!

Feel free to also Like and share my Book Tour video on YouTube that explores the book while I talk about its features:

I Need Your Reviews!

In related news, now that the book is also on Amazon, I'd greatly appreciate it if any of you leave a review of my book there so that it looks a little more professional!  Be sure to mention you bought the book via Kickstarter so that there will be less confusion about which book is which.  It also helps if you can attach a picture either of your copy of the book or any of your pages. Feel free to show off your coloring skills!  People love to see images, which helps add credibility to your review (and is just fun to see).  

I'd be happy to hear you were pleased with your book OR if my books could use improvement in your reviews.  Your honest constructive feedback will help me improve the next coloring books I have planned!

Post your reviews at the listing here - My Book on Amazon

Are You a Pro Reviewer (or Know One)?  Contact Me!

If you are a reviewer (or know of a reviewer) with 1k Followers or more on Youtube who runs an active channel (a video has been uploaded within the past 6 months), I'd love to hear from you!  Drop me an email at angela(at)angelasasser.com or a PM here within Kickstarter so we can talk about possibly getting you a review copy of the book.

Meanwhile, the Birthstone Goddesses have kept me pretty busy with their latest incarnations as enamel pins!  Be sure to Follow me here on Kickstarter if you haven't already so that you won't miss out on the latest campaign for the Birthstone Goddesses launching on December 21st.

A peek at the latest Kickstarter campaign for the Birthstone Goddesses that has successfully funded!

Thanks as ever for your support!  I'm so grateful to still be working on my dreams thanks to your help.

New Kickstarter Launched! Goddesses of Summer Enamel Pins
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 08:29:29 PM

For all the fans that once backed this ambitious project of mine, I'm happy to report my little dream of creating an Art Nouveau series is still going strong!  I have since finished the entire series of paintings, plus more bonus art for an upcoming art book collection (more on that later).   

Click the image above to see the entire series of Birthstone Goddesses.

Today I'm here to tell you about the exciting new item I'm adding to this series.  I'm creating wearable art in the form of cloisonne hard enamel pins!  I'll be funding the entire set of birthstone-themed pins in 4 total Kickstarters, the first of which launched this weekend!

Check out the Goddesses of Summer, the Ladies of June, July and August!

You can get just the pin by itself, the entire set of pins, or pins + prints!  I'll also be adding original ink drawings as the campaign progresses, so stay tuned to the Goddesses of Summer's project page for more announcements! 

You also don't want to miss out on the Early Bird special where you can get ALL THREE pins for only $30 ($10 less than the standard price). This deal will expire on 6/28, so hop on it while you can! 

 >Pledge today for your pin!< 

I'm stoked to add this new set of items to my ever-growing Birthstone Goddesses collection.  I hope you'll love it as much as I do and help me share this new project so we can help make these pins a reality!

Thanks for your support!

ALL Books Shipped! + Final Ink Drawings
about 5 years ago – Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 04:11:08 PM

It's a momentous day!  I've just dropped off the rest of the books that needed shipping at the post office!  Your tracking numbers should be in your email inboxes and your packages will be on their way to you after today.  If you never received a tracking number via email, please message me here via Kickstarter so I can sort you out!  I still have a few people who never answered their surveys who I could not reach through messages or emails and I'd hate for you to miss out!

Thanks so much for sticking with me through this journey, everyone!  Your patience and well wishes for our woes along the way have really meant so much.  For now, I'm going to celebrate with my husband and take the time to be with him, as his radiation treatments start tomorrow.  He's expected to make a full recovery after a very short round of targeted radiation!  

We're both so stoked to see that you all have been receiving your books and enjoying them.  We've been on a journey with this book and I'm glad it could end in good health and beautiful things for everyone!

What's Next?

In other news, I'll be working on the trade edition of the book that will be available to the public via Amazon.  This version won't have my signature or gold foil of the Kickstarter edition, making your Kickstarter edition the most special one!  Stay tuned for an announcement here for when this edition will be available so you can tell your friends who missed the Kickstarter about it.

Once we've rested and healed, I hope to continue my ambitions to work on future coloring and art books!  You can keep up with this journey and get in on the ground floor of my creations over at my Patreon, where every little bit of support helps me keep being able to work on these dream projects, while also giving you sneak peeks and bonuses.  

Some of you have already pledged there, which is amazing!  It's a great way for you to keep up either as a Follower (you don't have to make a pledge to be one) or as a Patron (for the extra perks and the fan cred).  Colorists may also enjoy the Digital Collector ($5) tier where you can also gain access to my digital library of coloring pages and more!

Till next time, I leave you with the final few ink drawings created for the Limited Edition books!
