Latest Updates from Our Project:

Final Update Until Last of Vols 3 & 4 Have Shipped
2 days ago – Sun, Feb 02, 2025 at 07:21:22 PM

Again, we apologize deeply for the long delay in getting our Kickstarter project out. Please note that when Vols 1 & 2 went out, it was spring and summer. The books this year came in right before the holidays. In addition to holidays, we've been hit with hurricanes, fires and other natural disasters that have caused delays in shipping. In Canada, there was a postal strike and our carrier wouldn't receive packages shipped to Canada until after the strike ended, and even a few weeks thereafter as they were backlogged. Here, in our own hometown, our post office has been shut down twice for several days each time because of winter weather. 

In spite of all that, we are still shipping Volumes 3 & 4 to backers. To help facilitate the shipping, we are not going to post any more updates until we ship the last batch of these volumes as the update will not change--we are working on shipping the books out. 

We will do an update when that last batch is received by the post office. Please rest assured that even without an update, we are shipping every day, weather permitting. 

When your order ships, you will receive an email with your tracking number in the email you used to back the project. If you haven't received this email, you are still in the queue to have your order shipped. If you're just receiving bookmarks & cards without books, those are going out first class and there is no tracking number for them. You will receive an email, but there won't be a tracking number.

If you need to update your shipping address, please email us at: [email protected]

Please note that we are doing our absolute best to get everything out to our wonderful backers as fast as possible and we deeply appreciate your patience. We know how long it's been and never anticipated this. But we will make sure everything gets out to you just as soon as we can. And be assured that if you don't hear from us, we are still working on the project and are shipping as fast as we can.

Thank you. 

 

Dec Update
2 months ago – Tue, Dec 03, 2024 at 10:54:18 AM

Happy Holidays everyone.

Please understand that the update this month is basically the same as November: we are asking a huge favor from our Kickstarter backers. Please know that we are in the middle of shipping out Volumes 3 & 4 as fast as possible, but it is the holidays and there is a postal strike in Canada so shipments could be delayed by the postal services. You will be emailed when your volumes ship so you don't need to email and ask us if your volumes have been shipped. We know everyone is excited and we appreciate how eager everyone is to get their books, but we are being inundated with backers asking about their orders and we're having to spend hours every day just answering emails instead of shipping books. 

We know everyone would much rather we spend our time shipping books than answering emails to say that we are doing our best to get the books out to the backers as fast as possible :) So please, only email us if you have an address change (and please include your new address in the first email that you send to [email protected]) or email us at [email protected] if you have a problem with your order. 

If your question is whether or not your order has shipped, please check your email using the email address that you used to place the order to see if you've been notified or check your account here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/ 

If you ordered ebooks, you will find your ebook download links here: https://acheron.backerkit.com

If you want to order the Acheron/Styxx 4 volume special edition set or the 5th volume book Synergy that is an all new Dark-Hunter novel about Acheron & Styxx, you can still do so here: https://acheron.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders 

Volume 5 (Synergy) will ship after we finish fulfilling the orders from 3-4. 

Again, we appreciate how excited everyone is and we want to get the books out as fast as possible. 

Thank you so much for your patience and assistance.

October Update
4 months ago – Thu, Oct 03, 2024 at 01:08:06 PM

We are still in the process of shipping and you can see Sherri's video about it here: https://www.tiktok.com/@sherrilynkenyon/video/7418728624456486175?lang=en

Please note that those of you in the Hurricane Helene affected areas, we are aware of the horrible tragedy all of you are dealing with, and you are all in our prayers. The last thing we want is to add to your stress. To protect your books and to make sure they aren't damaged we want to reassure you that we are doing out best to monitor the situation. If you or someone you know is in an area where you won't be able to receive your order for a while or you need a different shipping address, please contact us and let us know. Please be safe and take care of yourselves.

For those not affected, we are shipping Volumes 3 & 4 as fast as we can. Please bear with us as we get the books out. It will take us time, but we are dedicated.

Book 5 (Synergy) won't begin shipping until we finish Volumes 3 & 4.

If you have any questions, please contact us directly at [email protected] as that is the quickest way to get a response. 

Again, our hearts and prayers are with those who were in the path of Hurricane Helene.

Best,

Sheri, Jake, Kim, Sherri and crew

As we noted last month, the books came in and with the exception of DragonCon where we were at the convention for a week, we have been in the process of fulfilling orders. We are going as fast as we can, but it is 900 boxes and thousands of orders that we are fulfilling. Please be patient as Sherri signs the books and we get them in the mail.

If you have any questions, please email us directly: [email protected] We aren't monitoring the Kickstarter page as we are trying to get the books out as fast as we can.

Thanks for your patience,

Kim, Jake and crew
