Now that all the books have reached their destinations, would you mind taking a minute and posting a review on Amazon?
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how important reviews are.
It's vitally important that as a self-published author, I get LOTS OF HONEST reviews on Amazon because it drives my book higher in the search rankings.
You can addareview tothe ebook and when the hardcover is liveon September 17, we will 🔗 link to the ebook and thereviews show up under the hardcover too.
My goal is to have 100 reviews by the time the hardback is liveand with your help this is easily doable!
Thank you friend!
👏 God's direction and your support is why we've gotten this far.

Look for your package this week!
Everything is shipping out today and a few tomorrow. If, for some reason you do not receive a package this week and you expected one, let me know. It could be a Post Office issue or it could be that you didn't get me your mailing address. Either way, I'll check on it.
Today is launch day for the E-book on Amazon. If you can spare a few minutes:
Use this link to go to the Amazon page and download your FREE E-book.
Any questions along the way, just send me a PM and I'll help you out.
Thank you! We're putting "Mom's Not Wipin' Your Bum" on the digital map.
This will likely be the last update sent to everyone as a group through Kickstarter. Within the next six months, I will be mailing you a hand-written thank-you note. Your encouragement and understanding means the world to me. God has been so faithful every step of the way. We're building a publishing company one book at a time.
We have all the inventory in and ready to go! If you have changed mailing addresses in the last three months, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you so much to all of you who made Kickstarter happen. I'm still reeling from your generosity and your belief in what I'm doing. I am working hard to establish a book business that will run for years and provide a stable platform for sharing the Mom's Not® books with the world! That being said, there are just a few of you who haven't finished filling in your information on BackerKit and I need to make sure we get you your books and SWAG.
If you haven't gotten the BackerKit email, just reply to this email and I'll send you a direct link.
The inventory just arrived in an LA port and it will start it's cross country journey soon.
I know these things are so routine in the retail business, but you'll have to forgive my excitement. It's my first baby ;) OK, my fifth baby. LOL
My #1 priority is my KS supporters. You will be the first wave of recipients.
Then the preorders go out. I'll send separate instructions for preorders. If you already closed your account but want additional items, just send me a message and I can make that happen. We will finalize BackerKit (Kickstarter) orders on July 15 and they'll ship out to you end of July.
We must get all orders finalized by the 15th.
Again, if you did not receive the BackerKit email, drop your name below and I'll send you the link directly.
Slashing shipping prices for everyone!!!

You know the old saying, "When you know better, you do better?"
That's exactly where I am with shipping. I SIGNIFICANTLY slashed the shipping (those who checked out and those who have yet to check out) by at least 1/2. BOOM.
Also, remember, cards are NOT charged until we lock everything down right before shipping and I'll notify you of that.
Just a quick background of my shipping/fulfillment journey: My original direction was "drop-shipping" from China. A few shipping companies had convinced me that was the only way to go. But the numbers that I had on my P&L just didn't make me happy for you, (my Kickstarter backers) and my future potential customers ....and for me.
After doing all the research and talking to many other independent authors, my inventory is about to take a fabulous vacation across the Pacific to a warehouse here in the U.S. I hope my books drink a floofy drink for all of us and go down the water slide a few times.
The books are finished! Please enjoy the video below to see what we did at the print shop.
Also, if you haven't done so yet, finish filling out your backer survey. This is an important and necessary step for me to get you your Mom's Not swag from the campaign.
If you have any questions at all, I'm always here to answer to the best of my ability.
