Welcome back to Vigil & Ante Studios!

Rosemary, Ironfall, and Sam fans, your wait is over! It’s release day for WE WILL BE HEROES!

If you pre-ordered, you should receive tracking this week. Our admin/shop manager is still recovering from being under the weather, but be assured, your book will be on its way to you as soon as possible!!

Can’t wait until your physical copy comes in the mail to start reading? Or just prefer to read the eBook? You’re in luck! Starting tomorrow (July 24th), the Kindle version will be discounted to just $0.99 cents!! But hurry! This deal will only be good until July 31st and then it will go back to regular price.

If you haven’t gotten a physical copy yet, you can always purchase one from either our website or Amazon. Remember our website is the ONLY place you’ll be able to get the exclusive dust jacketed edition with a design on the hardcase and bonus content.

ALL formats purchased from our website (hardcover, paperback, or dust jacketed) will include a signed bookplate from the author.

A preview of the dust-jacketed edition is shown below!

I hope you all love this story as much as I do! Before we go, I also just want to let you know that Whimsical will be closed for our summer holiday from July 29 – August 7th, so any orders placed during that time will ship once Christina and I return to work! Thank you all again for your continued support of our little bookish corner of the world!

XOXO,
Micheline
