1. 56 pre-orders away from publication!
This post is dedicated to the raffle, but I couldn’t help but get excited about the developments of the past week regarding Kingdom of Dreams. As of this update, we are 56 pre-orders away from our book becoming reality! There are about 70 of you following KOD that haven’t pre-ordered. So if you’ve been waiting around to see if this project is worth your hard earned cash, or maybe you just want to jump up the scale as a key Inkshares influencer of books that go on to get published--now’s the time to pre-order, because this book is getting close!
2. RAFFLE-A-RAMA
I thank everyone for your patience. Well, my newest illustration is complete. Here is the picture along with the accompanying speech from the novel as told by Francis the cat. And the winner of this original signed print is... Rebecca Getzinger! 
"Even I don’t understand cats...
The fickle, mysterious (and sometimes) infuriating nature of a feline is often overstated, but also accurate. When a cat runs from one room to the next for no reason whatsoever, it isn’t as mindless as it seems: we can see spirits. We’re simply spooked. I know I am. I blame my Egyptian forefathers for getting too involved in the affairs of the dead.
Worse, because rookie spirits once depended on felines to be their spiritual guides into the afterlife, they still have a nagging habit of following the likes of me around. Now without fail I can spot the spirits of corpses slobbering and lingering around me like lost tourists. I doubt I could lead a dog to a fire hydrant, let alone the eternal to an unknown plane."
-Francis the cat, excerpt from Kingdom of Dreams.
Next up for my Excel Randomizer to pick is the winner of the POP Ash Evil Dead figure as signed by Bruce Campbell. It goes to... 
Rick Heinz!
Congrats to Rebecca and Rick. I’ll be in touch!
3. Happy birthday, Dad!
Thanks so much for your awesome support. You’re a huge part of why this project continues to progress. ;-)
4. NEXT UP: Guest Blog, My Indoctrination into the Reddit World, School Visits, New Chapters
- More details to come in my next update, but I’ve agreed to be the guest blogger in a well respected fantasy blog.
- On November 23rd I will be the featured fantasy writer of the day on Reddit’s fantasy blog! 500,000 members, gulp. If anyone has any experience with Reddit, please, please reach out to me, because other than what I’ve read, I’m a total newbie.
- I’ve also started to accrue some school visits. Again, I’m new to this as well, but looking forward to it!
- New chapters are still being revised and going well. I hope to have the revised Chapter 1 up very soon for starters.
Stay well, stay tuned, and keep the orders coming!
