 Y'all. 

I am SUPER SORRY that I'm late in releasing this story by Shawn Pryor, Paulina Ganucheau and Janice Chiang. I'd post excuses as to why, but there are none that would excuse the fact that I screwed up and I'm late for not getting this to you sooner.

So I've decided to give you, Katie Cook's Art Appreciation, which is another story from the newly released Bingo Love Jackpot Edition book. The Jackpot Edition has a total of 160 pages of canon stories, art, and a sneak peek of Bingo Love: Dear Diary, coming in 2020. 

Again, I'm so sorry for not releasing this sooner. These stories will be hitting your inbox throughout the day today. 

On another note: I've still been receiving RTS books from out of the country -- one just came last week from Japan -- if you haven't received your book, it's because it's been returned or someone stole it. If that's you, please email [email protected]

Happy Holidays and thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy Secrets and Art Appreciation.

 Hiiii everyone! 

I know it's been a minute and a half, but I've got updates for ya. FIRST up. There are new Bingo Love books headed your way!!! Last week it was announced via, The Hollywood Reporter, that there are TWO new Bingo Love books happening! 

The first Bingo Love book is called, Bingo Love Vol 1: Jackpot Edition and will include over 50 pages of brand new material. The two bonus stories by Shawn Pryor and Marguerite will be included in this book, along with other stories of Mari and Hazel as well as a preview of Bingo Love Volume 2: Dear Diary. The Jackpot edition will be in stores on November 13th and can be preordered via Amazon here:

Here are the covers to both books!

 Thank you everyone for making this happen. If it wasn't for you believing in Bingo Love, there wouldn't be any other Bingo Love stories being told. Y'all did this! I'm indebted to you all...

Check your inbox throughout the day for the PDF to Marguerite Bennett and Beverly Love's Honeymoon story. If you haven't gotten hit by Thursday shoot me an email, and I'll send it to you another way.

BTW, if you haven't received your books yet, please send an email to [email protected] and I'll check the RTS pile and will work on getting your books out to you. There are still over 100 of you who haven't filled out your surveys so I have no address. Once I get them I can mail you your books, but I can't do it before then. 

Last thing, here's a sneak peek from Bingo Love: Secrets by Shawn Pryor and Paulina Ganucheau.

 This is a story that you don't wanna miss!!! Speaking of which, Shawn Pryor is currently running his own Kickstarter, so if you're interested in sci-fi graphic novels, check it out!

That's it for me, have a great day everyone!!!

Are you busy today? If not come & get your book signed!

JERSEYYYYYY!!!

My fellow Jersey folks! What y’all doing today? I’m signing at the Barnes & Noble in Clifton at 2pm! There will also be a discussion about the book.

I’m really hyped about this signing as it’s in the county I grew up in & this signing is taking place about 15 minutes from where I lived for 15 years. Out of all the signings I have done this one means the most to me.

Heck, the book takes place in Paterson, NJ, which is located in Passaic County, where the signing is happening. It’s as full circle as can be.

Anyways, I hope some of y’all come thru & hang with me. I MIGHT give out some secret information!

Peep the image below for more info! See ya at 2!

Bingo Love Honeymoon Teaser

 Hey folks! Happy Sunday!

This is my first update on a computer in how long? IDK, but expect gifs babyyyy!!

 So. I've got a few updates to tell you about and both are pretty...

 Up first is this pretty little gem and I am friggin proud of myself. While it did take 4 months longer than I imagined, I'm - for the most part - finished shipping. 

 Lookit that pretty little number. Zero books are ready to ship. ZERO. But lookit those other numbers. 113 backers STILL haven't filled out their surveys. 19 have answered, but haven't put their addresses in. Meh. Those shipped numbers don't include the comic conventions books I've shipped either. I've mailed over 3000 books and I'm sooo glad it's almost over!

If y'all haven't sent in your surveys, PLEASE ANSWER THE SURVEY HERE 

Next month I'll be reaching out to those who have had their books returned to me because of wrong addresses, moves, etc. Why next month? Cuz I'll be in Orlando for Megacon this Wednesday and then, Book Con in NYC from 5/30-6/3. Middle of June I'll be in New Orleans for ALA. I'm sooo hyped about these upcoming events! I hope to see some of y'all there. There's a possibility that announcements will be happening at one of these events. I've got new book coming y'all!

 Anyways as I mentioned, here's a TEASER for the Honeymoon story written by Marguerite Bennett. Unfortunately, Asia Kendrick-Horton ALSO pulled out of the story, so there's a new artist on board. I won't be unveiling the artist until everything's finished.

What I'm about to share with y'all, you GOTTA promise to not even share this with a soul! This is a secret!.

You ready???

 Hopefully none of y'all can figure out the artist. *fingers crossed* Details WILL be coming soon! As always thanks for all the tremendous support.

Shipping Update
almost 6 years ago – Sun, Apr 29, 2018 at 11:34:10 PM

Howdy folks,

Another shipping update for ya.

Tomorrow 285 #BingoLove packages will be going out to #Kickstarter backers & convention fans. Those 285 packages cost me $1400. In total I have mailed over 3500 books (do the math, it’s hella scary) since late December - majority of the books by myself.

Many folks have been EXTREMELY understanding and supportive, a few hundred people have been jackasses. If I could turn back the clock, I would’ve said books would arrive in March, as well as gone with a fulfillment center instead of putting a tremendous strain on my body. I’m disabled and there’s only so much that I can do.

My reputation has been hit because I didn’t mail these books out in time. I’ve been called a scammer, have a fake Twitter account that goes into detail on how I’ve never mailed out books and kept the money to go on trips, buy a house and everything else in between.

I received $57,148 on this Kickstarter, the creative team ran me $40k, packaging supplies = $7k, printing was $12k, rewards = $5k, postage (so far) $18k. If you did the math, that means I went WELL OVER the $57k. I had to take out multiple loans and max out my credit cards to get everyone’s books out to them. I NEVER IMAGINED Bingo Love to be this successful!!! Talk about being a good and bad thing at the same damn time 😩😩😩 Image taking the printing off my tab (still have to pay, just not upfront) brought my costs down some.

So when I see people calling me a scammer and that I stole their money it pisses me off because I’ve ruined my credit, went almost a month without medication because I couldn’t afford it, got behind on bills, just to give people their books. I miscalculated due to the overwhelming success. This is not on ANYONE BUT ME, and I knew that I had to eat those costs. People do steal KS money, they don’t give backers what they’ve paid for, but that would NEVER be me! So I did what was necessary to make sure everyone will get their merchandise...even tho I am 4 months late.

Knowing that the end is almost here and I won’t have to mail out books for that much longer makes me so happy!

Anyways. Books are coming! Thanks for your support. If your books aren’t in this batch, don’t despair, they’re still coming! Pinky promise! I’m busting my hump as fast as I can!!!

Here’s a pic of some of the books. I’ll snap a few more pics and post them tomorrow or later this week.

Have a good work week folks!
