Let me break it down. Below will be available in eBook and paperback. The eBook will be at a discounted rate through the pre-order period for only $2.99 but will go up to normal price ($3.99) on release day. Below releases on February 4, 2020.
There are two pre-order bonuses, depending on what format of Below you buy. The pre-order form will close on February 3, 2020 at 11:59 pm EST. Scroll for FAQ.
Tier 1: Digital Swag Pack
Everyone who pre-orders Below will receive the digital swag pack, regardless of what format (eBook or paperback) you purchase. All of the digital swag is exclusive to this pre-order campaign, meaning that it will only be available for the people who pre-order. And trust me when I say it includes some really awesome goodies you don’t want to miss. If you’re one of those “I have all three extended edition DVDs of The Lord of the Rings movies” (like me), then you’ll probably like the digital swag pack. 🙂
Your digital swag pack will include:
- The complete annotations of Below
- An extended scene from Below
- Inuit resources used for research
- Early art inspiration/images/aesthetics
- Two scenes from the North series book 2 (title to be announced)
Tier 2: Physical Swag
This is for everyone who orders the paperback of Below. If you pre-order the paperback, you will receive the digital swag pack in addition to this physical swag:
- One (1) signed limited edition World of the North card
*Available while supplies last. Be sure to submit your receipt early to guarantee yourself physical swag!
Note: My plan is to offer a different trading card for each book released in the series, so be sure to order the paperbacks if you want them all. 🙂 Also, these are not character cards but what I like to call “worldbuilding” cards. They will only be available for the pre-order campaigns!
