K M Cooper sent an update for Mushroom and Anchovy

Greetings, adventurers! 

 I made... a small error. You see, I’m supposed to do #MushAnchMonday on Monday. This is Tuesday. Oops. Sorry, everyone! Honestly, it completely slipped my mind. 

I have no new updates on the book, but I did, however, get the opportunity to read from it last week at an event at Cafe Cognito here in Moncton. I read excerpts from both chapters 1 and 4 of Mushroom and Anchovy, as well as a touch of my poetry. The reading went well--it was nice and intimate, with a small cafe that was filled with attentive people. If you were there, thank you so much for showing up! I hope to be able to do more events like this in the future. 

 As always, I have been extremely busy with my Twitch channel, on which I will be streaming 3 times a week for the next month. Tonight is one of those days, by the way--I’m making vegan marshmallows and yogurt tonight at 8:30 PM ADT and I’d absolutely love for you to join me! I’ve become an editor and regular contributor to a Twitch cooking newsletter called Cookery Nation, which has made for a fun combination of my writing and editing and cooking skills! 

 I have a full monthly roundup over on YouTube, by the way, if you’re curious about my many monthly projects and happenings. I have a convention appearance coming up and will be sharing the promotional materials on my Facebook page once they’ve arrived.

 The weather here has been bright and sunny for the past three days. The grass is getting greener and flowers are everywhere. Happy May, all, and I’ll talk to you in June.

May your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting, 

K. M. Cooper

    Greetings, adventurers!

     Happy #MushAnch Monday!

    Well, it seems as though March went by as quickly as it could. Even March wanted to get itself over with. And now we’re here in April and I’m kind of reeling from the speed of it all. How about you? How’s the weather over on your end? Here, it’s been almost shockingly nice. We’ve been in the single-to-double-digits in temperature for the past couple of weeks, and we didn’t even have a Saint Patrick’s Day snowstorm! No complaints from me. The flowers are starting to come up, too. It seems spring is actually here, on time, for once!

    I’m not going to do the predictable thing and play an April Fool’s joke on you telling you that I have news. I am, unfortunately, coming empty handed. I will, however, tell you that I did a fun April Fool’s Day video over on my YouTube page. Please enjoy!

    Other than being busy on YouTube, I’ve been plugging away at various blog posts and streaming my cooking live on Twitch and just, generally, having a blast. It’s been a great distraction, honestly, while I await news about Mushroom and Anchovy. But more than a distraction, it’s become something I feel really passionate about. I hope that, eventually, some of you will come join me on Twitch, as well! There’s now a nice little community set up for our growing channel and I am just loving the kind of interaction that Twitch provides.

    That’s it for now, from me. I hope your April showers bring fast May flowers and that all of you are well. Please feel free to message me any time with any questions or concerns you may have. 

    May your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting

      Greetings, adventurers!

       Happy #MushAnch Monday!

      February passed in a whirlwind of illness and extremely cold weather. I’m not sure about all of you, but I’m really craving spring. As the snow falls outside in a twisting flurry, accompanied by a winter storm warning, I can tell that it’s still a bit distant—but it will be here soon, and we’ll all wake up as the earth does. 

      At least, that’s the case over here in the frozen north! 

      I have no updates on the Mushroom and Anchovy front this month, folks, but a whole lot of fun stuff is happening in my creative life right now. As I’ve been mentioning, I have been livestreaming from my kitchen twice a week now, and we’ve managed to do some truly neat stuff during that time. Most recently, we did a cupcake drive and raised some money for the SPCA with the help of my husband (Frosting Overseer) and daughter (Chief Sprinkle Technician), as well as everyone who ordered cupcakes and people on stream who donated, too. I baked ten dozen, and the three of us decorated them for 8 hours on stream and ended up raising over $500. WHEW. What a day it was! For more fun like that, please do join me over on Twitch!

      As always, I’m producing YouTube videos, recipes, and chipping away at various blog posts. I was really sick from mid-January until around the third week of February, so the bare minimum was about all I could produce, but I’m feeling much better now, and I’m hoping to tackle more projects. In fact, check out my March roundup for what I’ll be up to in the month to come!

      Until April 1st, folks, may your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting,

        Greetings, adventurers!

         Happy #MushAnch Monday!

        I have no updates today—well, not really. I’ve been asked by a few people about the status of the book, so I took a few minutes to check in with the lovely folks over at Inkshares. They confirmed my suspicions—that they are backed up pretty far and that they still have a backlog before they even get to mine. Though I know this may not be comforting to you, please rest assured that the process is still underway and that Mushroom and Anchovy will come your way as soon as it’s able! The good folks over at Inkshares are working hard to produce some beautiful books. 

        Other projects are coming along nicely. I’ve been streaming regularly on Twitch and I’ve released one video, so far, on my YouTube channel. Keep an eye next week for a special Valentine’s Day video. And, as always, take a look at my website for lots of free content. I have two new blog posts since the last time I updated, and more on the way!

        That’s all from me this month, folks! I leave you now with a picture of all three cats in one spot. From left to right, we have Rusty the ginger cat, Pansy the tabby, and Mystery the smoky grey tuxie.

          Hello all! Quick update. Production on Under The Rug begins April 2019...finally. It’s been a long road, and I’m grateful that you’ve been patient enough to stay on for the ride. Many thanks.

            Greetings, adventurers!

             Happy #MushAnch Monday and happy New Year! I hope you all had wonderful holidays and that you’re returning to your normal lives with renewed gusto.

            I’m not going to lie—my holiday was genuinely awesome, and I wish I could turn back time and stay there! I spent a busy few weeks with my husband and daughter, as well as my mother and father, and some choice friends. I got a lot done, but I also did something I don’t usually do: RELAX! Now I’m back to it and managing my time more closely than ever with the hope that 2019 will bring all sorts of creative work.

            Unfortunately, on this first #MushAnch Monday of 2019, I don’t have any news for you. Nonetheless, I’m confident that this will be the year that Mushroom and Anchovy makes its way to you. I’m staying committed and accountable, however, and I’m continuing to send these monthly updates.

            Finally, I’d like to mention that I started a new project that I’m really excited about! I’ve started live-streaming, and I’ve also started filming YouTube videos. My website, the Practical Escapist, has been home to recipes and cooking inspiration for a few months now, and I’ve decided to take it a step further by streaming my cooking and baking live on Twitch. Also… there’s a really great clip of Mystery jumping on my head on my Twitch channel, so if you want to see that, give it a look. Mystery loves chilling on my shoulder while I cook and bake. I’ll be posting my first video on my YouTube channel later on this week, as well, so please make sure you’re subscribed so you’ll see it!

            I’m going to leave you with a little parting gift today: a picture of Rusty and Mystery having a snuggle. Because they’re good boys.
             


            See you next month, adventurers! May your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting,
