An iridescent snake scale background with text. 
Heading says "Why presave" followed by text:
When you presave a crowdfunding campaign, you’re helping increase its visibility by showing the platform that people are interested in the project.

Not only will this get more eyes on the campaign; it also reminds Backerkit to email you when we go live.

So, why should you care about that? Because you’d be:
- Supporting a queer, indie press
- Supporting 16 authors and their stories
- A delicious queer futuristic horror anthology
- Gorgeous, gorgeous rewards
- Multiple tiers and add-ons for all budgets
- Really cool stretch goals!
- Exclusive perks for backers who presaved
And most importantly... you’d be making Preston a very happy snake!

A book cover for Awakenings, The Chronicles of Nerezia – 1 by Claudie Arseneault. The cover shows three figures on a sandy road in the middle of a red desert, facing away from the viewer as they look up at a domed city atop a red cliff in the distance. The three figures consist of one person in a tattered cloak, another with curly blond hair and a yellow tunic and armour, and a lizard person in a jumpsuit and goggles. Their vehicle, a cyan wagon with numerous pipes running along it, is in the foreground, partially cropped out of view. The colours are bright and vibrant, with orange and pink as the predominant tones.

Behind the raven the desktop is strewn with several several sheets of paper, stacks of books, a smoking candle, and stray feathers. The title is included inside speech bubble coming from the raven.

Happy Ace Day!

Author question; where are your ace characters at with their place on the asexual spectrum?

I got thinking about this because Rarkin's place at the start of Sythe Series is general relationship trauma driven, but that masks a specific asexual identity.
