Bonjour!
T-shirts have arrived and I'm really loving the quality of them! You can have any art design that you see placed onto the T-shirt. I really like The Star design and so I've now got myself the design on a shirt which I think looks lush!
Commissions are now open for custom tarot card. I've had quite a few requests from backers to add a physical custom card that is personal and exclusive to them. This includes revisions and a Tarot card description so that you can add it to your deck. This is unfortunately only limited to 20 because of the timing it takes to create them.
Card design for an Empress Backer
We are edging towards the 3rd Stretch goal which includes an additional 3 tarot cards. I can't wait to show you what those designs look like!
Thanks so much and if you have any requests you can message me through Kickstarter.

Digital backers will receive their reading via a PDF sheet. And physical backers will have a personalised reading printed with their order.
Both covers available as variants. Amelia Burness is a 100+ page novella with LitRPG elements. Illustrations included in the book. This is a story with multiple choices and endings as you'll playthe role as Fate using the tarot deck to progress the story in a 'choose your adventure' type book.Drawing a Death card during the confronation of The Dark Alchemist might prove fatal and set you back. But drawing the Heroine card could give Amelia a different fate entirely.
An Hardcover version is now available as an add-on.
The story follows Amelia Burness, a young woman with a passion for tarot reading with dreams of setting up her own tarot shop in Paris. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when she becomes entangled in the schemes of the enigmatic Dark Alchemist.
At the heart of the story is the legendary fountain of youth and its secret location within Paris. Which becomes knowledge to Amelia through a tarot reading. The Dark Alchemists soughts the location and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Drawn into the web of the Dark Alchemist's plans, Amelia must then use her psychic abilities derived from her magical Tarot Deck to stay one step ahead of him and his minions.
In this exciting choose-your-own-adventure book, you hold the fate of Paris and Amelia's shop in your hands. Shuffle the Major Arcana cards and see what destiny has in store for her. You are known as Fate. Will you help Amelia to protect the fountain and stop the Dark Alchemist in his tracks? Or will you succumb to his schemes and let him turn Paris upside down?
As you make your way through the book, you will encounter mysterious characters and unexpected twists and turns. Each decision you make will shape the outcome of the story, leading you down different paths and revealing new secrets. And all of it will depend on your tarot deck shuffle.
With the fate of Paris and the Fountain of Youth on the line, it's up to you to use your intuition and knowledge of the tarot to guide Amelia through this perilous journey. Will you be able to unlock the secrets of the Major Arcana and save the day? Only you can determine the fate of Amelia and the world around her.
