Long time no see!!

 Hello!!! I'm so so sorry for this incredibly long hiatus and for anyone that was worried!!! D: I wasn't dead or sick, just very very veryvery busy!!!!

I believe the last time I updated you all, the cover for volume 1 of Cursed Princess Club was revealed. I had this whole scheme worked out where I would take a mid-season hiatus, scrimp just enough time to quickly redraw book 1 and then come back before too long with new episodes. And that went well, until I learned that that was not even close to all there is to making a book, and that book 2's production schedule needed to begin as well (which I don't think I'm allowed to say yet, but I'll keep it brief!!). Aaand then that's when I realized I really messed up O_O;. So I've been juggling deadlines for several volumes of books + new episodes, with much patience and help from my very kind and amazing book + webtoon editors).

But volume one of CPC was sent off to the printers last week, and I'm extremely happy with the dumb choices I made ^^;;  10/10 would do again, even if I now look more like this after these last few months:

And now with that giant box checked off, I feel like I can much more safely declare that my focus can now shift back to these new episodes, and this final arc can begin somewhat soon-ish I think...! (And there will definitely be a big recap episode so we can all remember what even happened.....!) I'm still in discussions with my editor, but hopefully I'll be able to share a date in the next update (which will hopefully not be months later.. o___o)

In the meantime, please accept some more improved key art for CPC volume 1 (HD attachments below):

And I also owe you all some more information about the actual volume 1 book!:

• Volume 1 will span episodes 1 through 34 of the webtoon
• Here are some more pre-order links that are not just Amazon now:
  Barnes & Noble
  Indie booksellers
  Indigo 
• The size is 6 x 9 inches
• I think the page count is 288 (I don't know why some sites are saying its 384. I don't think it is...?)
• It will have just a few pages of exclusive early (a.k.a. cringe) character designs / iterations of main characters
• It will also have a small preview of True Beauty's graphic novel at the end, which I'm so stoked to have their art grace our book!! ^-^

I'm not sure if all the art I've redone for the book will get to be changed in the webtoon site / app eventually. I would love for that to happen! But it might be impossible to get that approved, as someone on the webtoon staff would have to reupload all those episodes (and I don't know who would agree to that ^^;;;;).

I think that's all I can think of, but if anyone has any other questions, please ask away and I will respond like a now-decent human being!! (hopefully...!)

Thank you so much again for sticking around through this very long, annoying hiatus!!! I hope it will be over before too long!! ❤️
