Raggydoll Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Avalon and her family has been allowed to come back home, at least temporarily (her husband was forced to leave by the police a couple of days ago). Their house is still standing (obviously), but the threat is not gone, only slightly less imminent. Ana Tourian is moving forward with the deck project and has contacted some people who will proofread the guidebook before everything can go to printing. I believe they will only have a few days to proofread so this step shouldn’t take very long (unless they find lots of issues to be fixed ;D But I doubt that!) So the whole project is moving along despite everything. I personally don’t care if this deck is in my hands this spring or fall. I can wait. But I understand that some people are getting frustrated, especially those that have been on board from the very beginning.
gregory Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I am happy to wait. I've had Kickstarter decks that took WAY longer - and for no good reason !
Raggydoll Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 It’s in the hands of the printers in China and they have placed an order for a test deck. If that deck looks good then they will place the whole order. If not, they’ll have to do changes and order yet another test deck. And so on.
Jewel Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I wish this deck got picked up by a publisher down the road so I could afford to get a copy, I really love the few cards I have seen.
Nordica De Spell Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 It’s not available for pre-order anymore... Does anyone know whether it will become available for order once printed?
Raggydoll Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 It’s not available for pre-order anymore... Does anyone know whether it will become available for order once printed? Yes. There will be a small surplus of decks available once all the preordered decks are sent out. At the moment Avalon is waiting to receive a printer-test copy of the deck from China. If everything looks fine then they will start the official printing process. If any alterations needs to be done to the deck then that will add to the delivery date. And one mustn't forget that it will take time for the final decks to arrive from china to tasmania, and they can be held up in the customs office. I am not counting on receiving my deck before the summer, but thats fine. Its worth the wait. I am guessing that those left over decks will be made available sometime late summer or early fall. Thats just speculation though, but you may want to join the facebook group and subscribe to the newsletter to make sure you are kept updated.
Nordica De Spell Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Raggydoll[/member], that’s good news! I’ll keep an eye out for it starting summer and forwards, and darn it I’m not on Facebook though. It looks like it’s going to be one very special deck!
Raggydoll Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Some updates from today. The test printing process has been a bit complicated but things are looking like they will resolve shortly.
RavenOfSummer Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 I saw on Facebook that Avalon has gotten the deck proofs and that the font issue has been resolved! Things are moving along- so exciting!
RavenOfSummer Posted September 26, 2019 Author Posted September 26, 2019 For anyone who has pre-ordered the Bonestone, Avalon has asked that everyone confirm their current mailing address with her as she is about to go to print and will be sending addresses off to the fulfillment center. She asked that everyone do this even if you have confirmed your address with her elsewhere. Refer to your order number on Etsy and include that in the email. Instructions are in the attached image.
Raggydoll Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 So glad you mentioned this, was just about to post about it! ❤️ Here’s from the newsletter:

That's funny because I got King Lear for £0.00 on Amazon Kindle. Now Amazon wants me to review King Lear. Is it a good book? Would I recommend it to others? Would I read any more books by the same author? I am loth to give a bad review in case it affects the author's reputation.

Guest Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Regarding the Bonestone & Earthflesh tarot - any news? I updated my address on September 26, 2019 - but have not had a response nor heard any further updates.

I updated my address on September 26, 2019 - but have not had a response nor heard any further updates. Did you send her the updated address and include your order number? And you sent it to her email (the one thats listed above)? Because in that case you should have received the confirmation by now. She is working her way through the emails, starting with the ones she received first. I think she is reaching the end of the list (last update I believe she said she had 100 mails left to confirm, and there were like 1000 to begin with). I got my confirmation several weeks ago. The latest news is that as soon as she has confirmed all the addresses then she will offer up the remaining decks to those that are on her email list. And then, once those are sold, she will notify the printers to begin. The decks will be printed and distributed directly from china, so they won't be sent via Australia like she originally intended. She is using a mail fulfillment center in China that will pack and ship everything. So it looks like the decks will be printed in a couple of weeks. If someone did not update or confirm their address then it will be shipped to the original adress that was listed on etsy. My advice is that you send her another email, and you do it quickly. Put your order number at the top of the message. Good luck!
Guest Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Thank you for your response. I followed her instructions precisely in her email, and FINALLY received an email yesterday. Hopefully her next edition will go smoother. She did say in her YouTube update video that she was not going to use Etsy for the next one, but she would go through her website. So hopefully with the next edition, all the kinks will be worked out. I look forward to meeting her at the Reader's Studio if she gets to attend to "commemorate the first edition" of the Bonestone.

I am glad you finally got your confirmation! I believe she meant her next potential deck project and not a reprinting of this one, but it might also have been a Freudian slip. I bet she is considering it deep down, despite saying so many times that she won’t break the promise of only doing one printing/edition. I personally think that she shouldn’t have given such a promise in the first place because it’s only logical that she might want to reprint it if it becomes a big success. So she might say now that she won’t reprint it but I doubt that this will be true in a couple of years time. She might even get offers from the big publishers and I think she would find it hard to resist. She’s never been published and I think she would benefit from it and enjoy it too.
gregory Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I wish there were more NEWS about this. I confirmed my address on September 27th and didn't get a confirmation - should I have done ?

Maybe you’ll get a confirmation soon but it does seem like a very long time.. like I said, I got my confirmation not long after I sent the email. But I was quick to send the email so that might be it.

I agree. Everyone who hasn't gotten a confirmation should probably double check the email adress and that they sent the order number. It might be that the confirmation ended up in the spam folder too.
gregory Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I check my spam RELIGIOUSLY. I have messaged her on Etsy.
