We can't even begin to tell you how very sorry we are that this project has not been completely finished. While we managed to deliver quite a bit, we ran into a multitude of issues... some our fault, some out of our hands. But we have no more excuses to not complete and deliver everything we promised.
Ruby Azazel passed away last year and it was/is completely crushing for us. For 15 years our sweet kitty had been our inspiration to create and a large part of our emotional support. She passed away suddenly and it put us into a serious funk.
But, she'd be very disappointed in us for not getting our crap together and getting on with it. Since she had been (and will continue to be) our muse with everything we create, we want to honor her and honor all of you, who have patiently waited. So, we are indeed moving forward... no more excuses.
Digital copies will be sent the second week of August. Print will ship out later that month.
We hope that we can make it up to everyone who supported us and again, we want to express our sincere apologies for this delay.
Sincerely,
Daniel & Laura (and Ruby)
Howdy, beloved backers!
I hope you’re having a terrific October so far.
As Dan and I have expressed before, the spooky season is our favorite time of the year. And although we’re doing our best to enjoy it this time around, it unfortunately comes after 16 months of various professional and personal setbacks, not the least of which was the unexpected death of our beloved fur baby, Ruby Azazel, last month – just a few weeks shy of her 15th birthday.
A feisty tabby who only seemed to tolerate her mama and papa, Ruby inspired us and our work in countless ways – and we both miss her terribly.
But, alas, life must go on without her. So, please rest assured that, despite many obstacles, we have not forgotten you – or the rewards we may still owe you. We both feel awful and ashamed about our extreme lateness with the final two deliverables: the ebook version of The Little Big Easy Guide and the three-in-one paperback (which will combine the printed versions of our three ebooks – The Dark Side of New Orleans, NOLA Lingo, and The Little Big Easy Guide – in one handy collectible).
Unfortunately, we’re still working on both, and while we don’t have a precise delivery date, we will definitely keep you updated on our progress.
In the meantime, we thank you for your interest and patience – and we hope you enjoy the rest of October, particularly Halloween!
Sincerely,
Laura Martone

Happy First of May, beloved backers!
I hope you’re having a terrific week (and month) so far.
I’m just checking in to let you know that Dan and I are almost done with the ebook version of The Little Big Easy Guide – the last digital piece of this long-overdue Kickstarter project. Once it’s finished, we’ll finally be able to order the paperbacks (each of which will combine the printed versions of our three ebooks – The Dark Side of New Orleans, NOLA Lingo, and The Little Big Easy Guide – into one handy collectible). Woohoo!
As always, we’re grateful for your interest and patience – and naturally, if you have any questions, please let me know.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your week!
Sincerely,
Laura Martone
