Nelly and I hope you all have a blessed Christmas this year or whatever holiday you may celebrate this season.
We posted one of the recipes from our book Light Love RItuals on our page recently and wanted to share with you all. Here's a link to the post.
You can also download the PDF for the recipe below.
Thank you for all your support througout our campaigns. If you'd like to learn more about Bulgarian rituals and customs (and get more recipes), be sure to follow our next campaign for our updated, special editon of Light Love Rituals.
That's a Wrap!

The final order has been printed and will be on its way soon! I apologize to those who had to wait longer than normal for their books. It's always something at the printer end that holds things up. I guess that should be expected at this time of year.
Thanks to everyone again for another successful campaign!
WISHING ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS A HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Nelly and I are thankful for all your support!
We have the pre-launch page up for our Special Edition of our book Light Love Rituals: Bulgarian Myths, Legends, and Folklore, which will launch on April 16, 2024.

Nelly and I are celebrating our 10-year anniversary in publishing in 2024, and we wanted to make this book special. It'll include expanded information on each of the 17 major holidays covered in the book.
Plus, many many new images from well-beloved Bulgarian artist Keazim Issinov, who was Nelly's mentor.
The book also includes some of Nelly's recipes and has activities for children. A book the entire family can enjoy.
We'd love for you to follow along and get notified when we go live. And, please, share the link with anyone you think might enjoy learning about Bulgaria.
Almost there....

This is a quick note to say only one more set of books needs to ship. According to my records, everyone else should have already received their physical books.
The final books should have been printed already, but apparently one of the major retailers placed an order for 36,000 books from the new printer I'm using. That has delayed the printing of many orders for many authors. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the final books will be printed and shipped soon. The printer has said they are doing all they can to get caught up.

The Smoke Test will be coming today!
Kickstarter and Backerkit say to wait the full 14 days after the campaign ends before sending out the surveys, but I can't wait. No pledges failed (yay!) and my Bakerkit setup has been approved.
For those unfamiliar with Backerkit, it sends out a select number of surveys (a sample from each pledge level) first to ensure everything has been configured correctly. Once those look good, the rest of the surveys can be delivered to backers.
So, look for an email from Backerkit (and Ronesa Aveela). Please complete the survey as quickly as you can, so we can troubleshoot any problems that may occur.
On another note, we had put in the Risks section we were having trouble getting orders to process through the printer. This issue has been resolved. I've placed proof orders for both Nelly and me.As soon as we make sure everything looks good, we can start sending out your physical rewards. Digital rewards will be available as soon as you fill out the survey.

Whew, another campaign has completed successfully. Nelly and I are grateful for each and every one of you who backed this campaign. We've put our hearts and souls into the Dragon Village series, and we hope you feel the same.
I'll be fulfilling rewards through Backerkit, so be sure to look for an email from them in a week or so. We'll collect your shipping info (for physical goods) at that time.
Our next campaign (tentatively starting April 16) will be s special edition of our book about Bulgarian holidays (Light Love Rituals). It'll contain more in-depth information about the rituals on the selected holdiays. And will have illustrations from a well-known and well-loved Bulgarian artist, who unfortunately passed away earlier this year. It is our tribute to this wonderful man, who was also Nelly's mentor.
For now, we'll leave you with a few more campaigns that are going on now.
