Okay, so I have some BIG NEWS!  First off, I’d like to apologize for sending out so many updates last week.  I’m going to be sending out two today, but that’s it!  And then one more next Monday.

The Big News is that I have two raffles to run today!  I haven’t run them just yet, but I’m finishing up the prizes;  hand made all wooden books with a short story.  This short story is one such tale told around the fire in the setting, and every page is a wooden slat hinged together, with felt and leather bits for decoration.  I’m just finishing up the first and should have the second ready to ship by Wednesday!  I’m still figuring out how to do pictures in these things, but I’ll hopefully have some by this afternoon.

Now, the mundane but not-mundane news; for being followers, y’all get a short story!  This week’s is very tame, it’s the adventures of Bosco, a dog who loves BACON!  As always, give it a once over before reading it to little ones, but it seems pretty tame to me.  The link to it is -->;;;;;;;;; https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NVWptAk1jBgKJxZ-5osziG-Jvz6dgRLJf-_P4Be5vGI/edit?usp=sharing

The reason I have two raffles is because I reached first 75 and then 100 pre-orders!  This happened pretty much over the course of 3 days, so I didn’t have time to run an actual raffle!  But do not fear, this will be up and the winners announced post haste!  

All right, now for the interesting news.  Next Tuesday (not tomorrow!) I’ll be back in my hometown doing a reading at Because Coffee, a fantastic little nook of a place.  If anyone is nearby and is interested in sharing face time, I would not be averse to such an arrangement!  There will be additional prizes, of course, and free black coffee and tea!

Tomorrow, my wood etching machine is set to arrive, so everyone who has made a purchase and is entitled to the wooden bookmarks and hand painted postcard, please please please send me a mailing address in a Direct Message so that I may get your loot to you!  (Also, if you would like a custom message on your particular bookmark, let me know.)

I wish every last one of you a FANTASTIC DAY and much success!  I’ve been consistently impressed with the caliber of persons that have come forth and helped me in whatever manner they could.  Thank you ALL for BEING AWESOME!
