Hello again!
In case you haven't seen it yet, the MANDRILL P.I. Issue #7 Kickstarter is nearly over!
This is the FIRST ISSUE in the new MANDRILL P.I. story arc, so you don't want to miss it!
Just a few hours remain. It's been an amazing campaign thus far. We're over 150% funded, we've unlocked multiple stretch goals, and we would LOVE to have you aboard if you're not already.
Super cool rewards in this one, including variant covers, metal covers, MANDRILL P.I. lego mini-figs, T-Shirts, and custom short stories. And we've bumped page count up to 28 pages from 24-pages per issue!
Even the tiniest support helps boost us in the Kickstarter algorithms and helps get us in front of a wider audience. We would love to have you aboard!
Thanks again for your support in the past! Even if you're unable to hop aboard the new campaign, you're awesome and I appreciate you. If you've already hopped aboard, thank you so much!

Showdown in Murder City just launched on Amazon--and could use your help!

MANDRILL P.I. Volume 2: Showdown in Murder City is live on Amazon and assorted book providers!.
I waited a while to release this book wide to give backers a period of exclusivity, but now it's time to cast it out there into the wilds of the internet.
The first days are vital for the book’s success, particularly with Amazon's algorithm. If you’ve read the book already, posting a review is incredibly helpful. It would make me the happiest author in the world if you would leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads today. The more reviews the book has, the more people are likely to read it.
On Amazon, the verified review is queen/king. This tag comes when you review after buying on the platform. My ask would be if you can afford it, please purchase it on Amazon and leave a verified review. If you can't/don't want to do the verified route, then no worries at all!!! A normal review without the verified tag is still INCREDIBLY helpful, SOPLEASE DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED.
Thanks so much! You're the best, and because of you, we can keep bringing this world to life.

The First MANDRILL P.I. Trade Collection Is Live!

Hello again!
The MANDRILL P.I. Vol. 1 Trade Collection is live!
This collects the first 6 issues of the comic, plus the 12-page prequel comic, PLUS all variant covers thus far. That’s 156 pages of full-color comics and tons of bonus pages! And there are tons of cool rewards, like the opportunity to get yourself drawn into the upcoming Issue #7 as a pirate, a custom MANDRILL P.I. short story, an exclusive metal bookmark, a hard cover edition, and multiple rare MANDRILL P.I.-themed mini-figs (yay for Lego collectors!).
All pledges are vital for this campaign's success, even if it’s as little as $1. The more backers we have, the more Kickstarter’s algorithm goes to work getting us in front of a wider audience (all of which will result in more stretch goal unlocks to make rewards even cooler)! Thank you so much if you've already hopped aboard! And if you would share the project on your social feeds, it would make me the happiest guy in the whole world.
Thanks again for backing in the past, and I can’t wait to send you more MANDRILL P.I. in the future! -Chris
We're fulfilled!

Great news, everybody!
Aside from 5 people who have not yet filled out their surveys, all rewards have been shipped (if you're one of these 5 and you need to recover your survey, simply click here: https://mandrill-pi-novel-vol-3.backerkit.com/ ).
Tracking info was sent via email from Backerkit. When you receive your rewards, if you're inclined toward social media, I'd love it if you posted pics of you enjoying your copies and tag them with #mandrillpi
If you didn't get your tracking info or you're missing anything in your shipment, please reach out right away and I'll ensure it's made right ASAP. If you ordered a T-Shirt, it will arrive separately from the rest of your rewards (and should be there by July 15).
I sent out Digital Rewards from Backerkit at the end of May. If you didn't see the email, make sure to check your Spam folder. If you can't find your digital rewards email, please reach out to me at [email protected] , and I'll get them resent your way ASAP.
And a reminder of other awesome news:
The collected edition of MANDRILL P.I. Issues #1-6 is coming soon!
We would love for you to follow our pre-launch Kickstarter page. We're aiming for 100 followers by next week, and you can help us get there. Clicking the link below and then tapping "Notify me on launch" on the Kickstarter page will help ensure we have the strongest launch possible. We're planning to launch later this Summer after I've fulfilled the physical rewards from this novel.
Note: clicking the "notify" button in NO WAY obligates you to back the project on launch, but it does help with the Kickstarter algorithms and is vital to the project's success. And this author will love you forever if you do so :)
