Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve done an official update on what’s been happening with the project, so I wanted to just touch base real quick!
Just a few quick things, it’s kinda a quiet period in the Hellenite workshop but to kick things off-
♡ Vallentine’s Day sale! ♡
I guess it’s technically multi day but oh well- share the love!! My entire Etsy store will be 20% OFF starting Monday the 10th and going through Friday the 14th! I also just got another shipment of paperbacks so everything is restocked!
Hardcovers
For the love of God, I really hope I’ve gotten the print issue resolved with them. The hardcovers have to come from a UK printer so it’s extra time for transit and also they use a differing printing method, which has made it difficult trying to color match the hardcovers to the paperbacks. At this point, I think I probably have to accept there will be some color differences between the two types of book, but I want them at least in the same ballpark. As of rn they’re not even remotely close XD
Anyway! I have my next one on the way but it hasn’t left London yet. It should be here by the end of the month though!
Book 2
Yes there is a second book (and many more to follow)! This next one is called ‘The Things Under Your Bed’ and I’m about halfway through with writing it! I anticipate it’ll be done, including editing, by the end of the year, but I’m not sure when physical copies and e-book versions will be available. I’ll probably have a better idea once I get closer to actually finishing the book, but I can report it’s going well so far!
Also check out the cover for the new book :D
Other early stage WGBITN projects
I’ve got a few other things I’ve started to work on behind the scenes, but none of it has gone very far or it is in super early stages. I’m still not sure if these ideas will pan out, but I am at least looking into them for now!
So far I’ve started very tentatively working on a visual novel style game that would take place roughly after the first book, but exist outside of canon, just so I don’t spoil any of the actual plot lol. The rough idea is you’d play as Etienne and have two major story branches to explore with either Nica or bestie Sabine in tow.
The other idea is I’ve started researching how to go about making an audio book? Some of my friends are more auditory enjoyers and I was wondering if this would be something anyone else would be interested in? Lmk! I have virtually no information on this one, but if it moves forward, I’ll let y’all know once I know :D
Aaaand that is it! Like I said, a little quiet rn but I’ve got enough to keep me busy :D
Thank y’all so much for all the support! I didn’t think I’d more or less sell out my first shipment of books before the one year mark, but I only had 3 left out of 30 total books and that’s so crazy exciting!
Literally thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to keep working on fun things for the community and giving back how I can, so if there’s anything you would like to see (like a VN, audio book, qna streams, etc.), please let me know!
