Happy Weekend Everyone,

As if I didn’t have enough to do, I Francis the cat-yes that Francis from Kingdom of Dreams-will be hosting my master/task master/big bully’s shiny new sometimes weekly newsletter. Never fear, I’m not one for incessant updates that irritate more than inform. Speaking of irritating, I’d rather hack up a hundred fur balls than have to listen to the relentless barking beast that resides in the yard behind me. The cacophonous mutt has to go, but that’s another story.

Kingdom of Dreams has 51 followers! The writer/artiste would like to thank everyone for their early support. Me too. Who knows, perhaps he’ll reward me with a new laser pointer if I can drum up another 25 supporters? I can’t resist chasing that blasted red dot around despite how ridiculous and humiliated it makes me look and feel. Quickly moving on...

Unbeknownst to the writer/artiste, I will be using this newsletter to discuss guarded spoilers, delve neck-deep into characters, and reveal glimpses of new illustrations. I will also run contests to give away interesting items such as: some original KOD artwork and related shwag, a fresh batch of the dog’s homemade biscuits (yes, really)--perhaps even the family car keys if the mood fits. I will also recommend other projects that catch my eye on this wonderful site. Of course, who cares what we think? Please let us know what you would like to know and I’ll happily spill the beans.

Ah, yes. There is mention of a trailer.Okay, so not that trailer. 

You heard it here first: after a few screen tests baited by the promise of catnip that never did materialize, I will serve as the star and narrator of the book’s trailer. I narrowly beat out a controversial half-crazed war-horse, an overfed, bump on a log dog, and a feral night terror. Ooh. Lucky me.

Until next time, stay well and happy reading. I look forward to our next chat, hopefully you will as well!

You’re welcome to follow and tweet me at your own risk here:
