An early pre-order release for Elemental Ascension!
It's always an AMAZING feeling when you can get your hands on something you've created, poured your heart and soul into, and you get to see a beautiful finished product. It's even better when you can distribute it to the eager fans who purchased a signed pre-order a whole three weeks before the official release date! How else would I say thank you for their loyalty and support?
The hardback books arrived from Ingramspark, with a stunning glossy dust jacket and a full-colour case-bound cover beneath. In this video, I unbox the first batch of pre-orders, which I've been signing and shipping out, and I'll talk you through what you'll get if you order for the next batch via Etsy (you can view my store here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CuriousC...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4pULizqA_gThis week, I've been signing and packing these special pre-order gift sets for a lucky few, filming their orders, and posting them to YouTube and socials. I want to extend a massive thanks to SOPHIE, EMILY, and DENISE whom all pre-ordered through me (or through Etsy) and I hope you love opening and enjoying the pack I've personalised for you. If your video hasn't been shared yet, you can watch it below (links to YouTube).
The first unboxing is for EMILY. I selected a pretty heart-shaped key for you, and somehow managed to pull one of each suit in the cat-themed tarot stickers, too! Your tagline is 'THE KEY IS THE KEY'. I hope you're looking forward to discovering what that means in relation to the plot and my protagonist, Ash the Elemental.

I selected a swirly key for you, and you pulled a lot of pentagon card stickers - apologies these weren't more varied but they are all lovely, I promise. Your tagline is 'BLESS ALL WHO WATCH'. BE BRAVE LIKE ASH. I hope you enjoy listening to the amazing Lindsey Stirling soundtrack with your QR code.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbc9LF_46hwThe third and final unboxing is for SOPHIE. I selected a flower-style key for you, and pulled you some unusual tarot card stickers that you can use in the back of your book (see the SIGNIFIER page following the Epilogue) or in a journal. I included the tagline PLEDGE TO DRAGONBORN, just like Ash did in the beginning. Will you pledge your heart to Dragonborn, too?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5zVhD864uMIt's not too late to get your hands on a gift set for £20 including free delivery to a UK address with Royal Mail. I'll sign and personalise your book, choose you a key (also a bottle opener), randomly select some cat-themed tarot stickers, and add your extra goodies before posting.

I think this design of key is my favourite, by the way, but I didn't manage to select this one for any of my pre-orders so far. Maybe you'll be lucky! I've kept one of these for myself, that I plan to attach to my keys in case of a tavern emergency ;)
Thank you to anyone and everyone who is ordering Elemental Ascension. I can't wait to hear what you think! <3
