The online home of the Snowhaven Snowhawks is under construction, but you can get early access to the work in progress by backing Rosalie’s Kickstarter campaign for a special edition of The First Baseman’s Grumpy Fan in either paperback or hardcover. Once the campaign is over, backers will be given a password granted them early access to the site as well as the bonus content contained within (that won’t be in the books) for at least 60 days.
Below are some features of the campaign, from specifics about the special edition to other rewards included in various tiers.
This will be the design on the casebound hardcover as well as the paperback. And YES, there will be foil on BOTH provided my proofs look good when they arrive. Cover design by Maria Rosera.
The hardcover of the special edition of The First Baseman's Grumpy Fan will have a double-sided dust jacket. The first is similar to what you'll find on the ebook and the retail version of the paperbacks, but Finn and Gale have a bit more detailing to them to be a bit more dimensional and the back is completely different with the blurb being on what I made to look like a piece of baseball leather with threads on the side. Plus the fold over parts, of course. The reverse side is the Christmas in July themed side with quotes from the book, some different imagery for both Finn and Gale, taken from scenes of the book, and a look at the snowflake making scene. Some colors might be tweaked on this side depending on how the proof comes out, but this will be close to the final either way. The paperback special edition will have the front covers of both of these on the inside of the front and back cover, respectively. Designs by Maria Rosera featuring stock and original characters.
The hardcover of the special edition of The First Baseman's Grumpy Fan will have endpapers with this design featuring silhouettes of Gale and Finn, the Snowhawks logo, and baseball hearts and snowflakes that were created with manipulated vector stock. The paperback special edition, by nature of being a paperback, won't have endpapers, but that doesn't mean they won't feature this design in some way at all. Design by Maria Rosera.
Below is a small sneak peek on the type of extra content you’ll see on the full site that you could have early access to by backing the Kickstarter campaign. Except whereas this is a static image, the full site will have links attached to the opposing teams, fields, and details.
