Hello there Glarien Fans,
Just wanted to give you a couple of updates, starting with ALL SHIPPING IS COMPLETE. This Includes our fans in the hard to reach (because of covid) countires like Australia and New Zealand. If you don't have your book, and haven't received tracking yet to let you know it's on the way, please reach out so we can look into what happened.
Speaking of what happened, I know I said the extra Glarien short from Rosi Kampe was going to be on the way a couple of months ago. But there were some problems with files, and things had to be redone. Thankfully, they really now should be on the way in about a week. Because we want to get all Glarien business squared away before we launch... MORE WHITE ASH.
We're thrilled to announce that White Ash is coming back to Kickstarter with an oversized, 64-page Deluxe Edition of all-new material that contains BOTH Chapter 06 and Chapter 07.
We’ll be launching in a couple of weeks with some insane, exclusive to Kickstarter variant covers (Including a jaw-dropping one from Ms. Glarien herself, Romina Moranelli). We'll also have more great swag (including a matching Elf pin to go with the Dwarf one we offered last time around). As always, there will be early-bird discounts and limited edition rewards. So make sure you’re there on day one so you get your first choice of White Ash goodness. These deals are our thank you to you, our most loyal fans. So please take advantage of them.
SIGN UP TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN WE GO LIVE
The art on this book is done and ready to go. The plan right now is to run this campaign, fulfill and roll right in to Glarien Chapter Two. We're now looking to launch that campaign in late June to make sure Romina has time to finish everything before we launch.
We're so excited to continue to expand the White Ash and Glarien Universe here on Kickstarter. Thank you all again for the incredible support. We couldn't do any of it without you.
All the best from Team Ash/ Glarien
Charlie Conor, Fin, Romina and new recruit, Mick Beyers.
Glarien 2 update, plus The Adept Is LIVE

Hey Glarien fans,
Wanted to give you a couple of quick updates on things. First of all, Rosi Kämpe's bonus Glarien digital short story should be on its way next week. I just need to have it lettered up.
For our Australian backers, I'm actively looking into several options to get you your books. Thank you again for your patience, I'm hoping to have answers for you with the next update I post.
And finally, look for Glarien to return to Kickstarter toward the end of March. Romina is deep into drawing number two now and I'm so excited with how it's turning out
In the meantime, I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know that The Adept, an amazing Wuxia comic that I've had the immense pleasure to create along with Tasha Huo, Yishan Li and Peter Shiao dropped on Kickstarter THIS MORNING.
The Adept follows Amy, a young woman with a broken past who is being visited by a Shaolin Master in her dreams. Is she going crazy or is she really being trained as the next great Kung Fu warrior? That's put to the test as she and her sister are caught up in a would be terrorist attach at a rock concert.
The second issue of The Adept picks up right after the events of the first issue as Amy deals with the fallout after the mysterious attack on international popstar Sasha True.
I've had so much fun writing this series with Tasha. For those of who who picked up the first issue, I hope you'll join us again. Immortal has several EARLY BIRD, day-one special deals. So don't miss out on those. You can check out The Adept HERE.
But fair warning, once you see Yishan's (Glairen (short story) Buffy Darkhorse, Swing Top Cow) art on the book, you're going to have trouble not getting at least one copy.
Have a great week, everyone!

Hey Glarien and White Ash fans,
Just wanted to let you all know that the Tracker Collectables Kickstareter crossed the 60K threshold today and Lillian of White Ash is now available to order.
For those of you who have already backed the Tracker campaign that want Lillian, you can either add her on to an existing pledge or switch your current pledge over to snag a copy. In addition, there are some fun rewards that unlocked to accompany the figure... including this turnaround that Conor Hughes drew of Lillian that was used to design the figure.
They're also offering a really cool "Action Figure Cover" of White Ash #1.
That's available in a regular and a CGC version (for those of you who like your comics with numbers attached).
But thank you again for all the support. My hope is that we get to do a Glarien figure down the road. I think if there's enough interest in Lillian, it's likely that will be sooner rather than later.
And before I leave you for the year, I did want to mention that there are TWO DAYS left to get a copy of HISMWTC.
And finally, we're still on track for the next issue of Glarien early this spring. I'll be in touch soon with some details. But I'm really excited about what Romina is doing with the next part of the story and the incredible cover artists we're lining up.
Be safe everyone and have a happy and healthy 2022.
Best,
Charlie
Shipping is just about done

Hello Glarien Fans,
I'm happy to report that I'll be taking the last of the domestic packages to the post office tomorrow and the last of the international ones on Saturday. Thank you for being patient as I've mailed out the 1100 physical packages. Originally, the intent was to have a team help me get these out the door. But with Covid, I pulled that circle a bit tighter... to just me. So while it's taken a bit longer, it's been incredible for me to see each and every name on the boxes -- so many of you returning from previous campaigns. Please know that I see and note that continued support. So thank you again.
Speaking of things that are almost there, I wanted to remind you that there's a toy campaign live right now that includes (or will include) a Lillian figure... and she looks amazing.
If you missed the previous post on this, Lillian is part of this amazing line of Action Figures coming from Tracker Collectables.
For those of you who backed the campaign previously, waiting for Lillian to unlock at 45K. I do apologize. There was a bit of a mix-up with Tracker and they shifted Lillian to 60K. This was something that wasn't communicated to me before it happened. But I've been assured by the owners of the company that it won't happen again. With just over five thousand with and over 22 days to go, everyone is confident that she'll be unlocked shortly.
I'll be dropping another post when they hit that goal and you can pre-order it directly, but if you'd like to help them get there faster, you can back the campaign here -- bit.ly/TrackerLillian
And as soon as they hit 60K you can switch your pledge over to the Lillian figure. Or if you like all the figures (as I do) switch to a pledge that includes them all.
I also wanted to mention two projects that are live right now on kickstarter that I think would be a great fit for Glarien fans. The first, that's ending TOMORROW is MERAKI
Meraki follows the story of Psi, a woman born into the land of Wrathic Warriors -- a world combining Greek mythos with genetically altered humans. Her path forged in blood, she now commands the deadliest military team on Balen. This is her story! And it's bad-ass!
As I said above, I think this book will hit the sweet spot for many Glarien backers and I suggest you check it out.
Another book that I think most of the Glarien fanbase is aware of (and if you're not, you should be) is TART.
Tart, from good friend Kevin Joseph, is one of the longest running comics on Kickstarter. The book follows a time-traveling demon hunter. This time Tart's adventures take her to the Wild West. If you haven't checked this story out, I highly recommend it. Kevin continues to raise the bar with each and every issue. If you like a series with a rich backstory that fearlessly continues to try new things, while hitting just the right notes of action and humor, you've got to TRY TART.
Thanks again everyone for all your patience as we've navigated the shipping of Glarien. I'll be back soon with an update about the bonus Glarien digital story from Rosi Kämpe.
Have a great weekend everyone.

New Kickstarter (HISMWTC) is live

Hello Glarien Fans,
Sorry if some of you are getting this notification multiple times. I just wanted to give those of you who were interested a heads up that my new Kickstarter is live.
We have some VERY limited rewards that are likely to go quickly (including a serialized metal cover) so if this one looks good to you, you can back it HERE.
Also, for those of you interested in the Lillian (Glarien's daughter) Action Figure...
That will be available once the Tracker campaign hits 45K. They're getting close now. You can check out Trackers campaign HERE and pick up some very cool custom toys.
And finally, I wanted to let you know that White Ash: Season Two #1 will be out in comic shops tomorrow.
For those of you who backed at the catch-up tier, This is the Scout version of Chapter Five, with an all new cover by Conor Hughes, and several new pages of artwork by Conor and Fin. The first ALL-NEW issue of White Ash (that has not been on Kickstarter) will be out in February. Here's a peek of Conor's insane cover for that.
As we said before, we'll be collecting all these issues in a hardcover Kickstarter-only version early this summer. But if you want the Scout issues, tell your shop to add them to your pull.
Thanks again for all the continued support. Now back to packing the last couple of boxes,
Charlie
