Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: August 16th, 2024 (Patreon)

Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Like Us series, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

Let's talk reading speed! What's the average time it take you to read an average-sized book? And for audio listeners, what's the average time it takes you to listen to a book and do you find yourself being able to finish a book in audio quicker or slower than in physical format?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! The edits for Destructively Mine are done and we officially turned in the book to our editor 🎉 If you've been following along this journey, you know this book has been kicking our butt. It has 100% turned out to be the most rewritten book of ours of all-time. And in this last version, we think it just might be one of our best books. It's everything we dreamed Book 2 in the Webs We Weave series could be. It just took a lot of elbow grease to get it there. We can't wait for all of you to read it next year 🥰

So now that the edits are done, we know lots of you are wondering what we're working on now. Of course, we're always squeezing in Patreon content, podcasts, and bonuses into our schedule. But in terms of full-length books, we were unsure whether we'd be writing Burn Bright first or Book 3 in the Webs We Weave series. Even before we had to tackle Destructively Mine edits, we had started writing Burn Bright -- and we didn't know whether we'd be able to keep writing it after the edits or if we would have to pause it for Webs We Weave Book 3. Everything was up in the air! But our schedule has been finalized, and so now that the edits for Book 2 are done we are moving directly into writing Book 3. Which means--yes, Burn Bright is on pause. BUT...and this is a massive but...that does not mean Book 3 in Webs We Weave will be releasing before Burn Bright.

The Webs We Weave series is traditionally published and our publisher requires us to turn in the book an entire year before publication. So with that timeline in mind, we have to finish Book 3 first even though it will be published after Burn Bright. If that sounds complicated...it is LOL 🤣 Our brains have been deep fried just trying to juggle all these schedules and dates. But everything is finally coming together and we're on a good trajectory.

We're really excited to stick in the heads of our lil con artist fam for a bit before being fully immersed in the Cobalt Empire. Because it will be total immersion for us once we get there and we don’t plan on getting out anytime soon 💙💙

As far as release dates go, you'll get all that info at the end of the year during our special announcement for the Cobalt Empire series!

Here on Patreon, no content dropped this week -- but you can expect some big drops the rest of the month!

THE SIGNED BOOK STORE

Our signed book store is restocked periodically. Keep checking it to see if a sold out item has been stocked. Any new updates will be posted here:

📍NOBODY LIKE US - OG Paperback:

We're waiting on these paperbacks to arrive to us, and once we have them in possession (and have counted how many copies arrived damaged lol 😅) we will restock them on the store. You will still be able to request character notes in these!

📍END OF SUMMER OOPSIE SALE: At the end of the month we will have an End of Summer Oopsie Sale. If you don't mind a little wear/tear on your copies for a massively discounted price, keep on the lookout for this sale. We'll have A TON of oopsies on the store!

📍SIGNED BOOKPLATES:

Once we sell out of our current inventory, we will be transitioning the store from signed books to signed bookplates. There will be a note on the book's product page if it will include a signed bookplate instead of signatures inside the book.

If you REALLY need to finish your collection with signed books, NOW is the time to order them. Once a book sells out, the next time it's for sale on the store it will be signed via bookplate.

If you have any questions about the store, sound below in the comments, and you can always email the store at kbr.authorstore@gmail.com xoxo
