Greetings, adventurers! 

I haven’t had many updates lately because I’ve been doing a lot of background work. I’ve been putting up posters, writing blog posts, submitting press releases, and even more. This campaign has kept me very busy, and I’ve learned a lot! I’m learning more about self-promotion and crowdfunding every day. There’s still over a month and a half left of the campaign, and I imagine I’ll learn even more during that time.

As I mentioned last week, local radio hosts Scotty and Tony talked about and did a writeup for Mushroom and Anchovy, and that was awesome! 

This week, I did a guest post on world-building for John Robin’s collaborative blog, Epic Fantasy Writer. There’s a writeup at the end about #MushAnch as well. I really enjoyed collaborating with him, and hope to do so again in the future! If you’d like me to write for your blog, please get in contact with me. 

Hubcity Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park this year is Hamlet, and, as I used to act with them and have been in many Shakespeare in the Parks in the past, I decided to sponsor the show and slip an ad for #MushAnch in there. Congratulations to the cast and crew of Hamlet for a spectacular opening night! If you’re in Moncton, you can take in the show this Friday and Saturday at Victoria Park at 6 PM, or next week on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the same time and place. I was able to go last night, and they put on an amazing show!

(Also, that’s my husband Brad Butland at the top there. Not that I’m proud... or anything...)

A little reminder as well that I’m going to be doing a live reading of chapter 3 next week, Wednesday the 26th, on my Facebook Page. This reading will be strictly a reading, not a live Q&A--unless, of course, anyone has any questions during--so it should be much shorter than the last few streams. This will be taking place at 9 PM AST. Also, if you’ve preordered a copy of the book and haven’t entered the contest on my page, please be sure to do so! You could win a $50 Amazon gift card!

There’s no real update on numbers at the moment, but hopefully I’ll have gotten a few preorders over the weekend and will have an update for you next week. I really want to get you guys chapter 4 to read, and have another surprise if we get to that point soon, so if we can get just three more preorders I will be able to deliver that to you ASAP! 

Thanks for following along with the campaign, folks. 

May all your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting, K. M. Cooper
