Hey, all. We're one reader from the 200 mark. Who's going to be the one to win the character drawing?

Hello all:

The first chapter of Part Three is posted! Time for our non-hero Richard to find a new job. It does not start off well. ("Non-hero" is a term I just made up. It refers to a character who is the ostensible hero of the tale yet has not done anything remotely heroic as of yet.)

Enjoy.

And thanks for the support!

Oh, one more thing: Congratulations to the finalists in the Nerdist contest. You've all penned top-notch novels deserving of a wide readership. Good luck! And an extra shout out to everyone (including myself, I suppose) who participated. I raise a goblet of grog to all of you. Keep at it!

Best,

M.

Began EoB book 2 over the weekend. Title? Dunno.

Hello friends of Jelly Roll Dog Park!  It has been a while since I provided an update so I wanted to write to let you know how things have been going with the release of "Monday."  Overall, the project has been received with great enthusiasm regarding the quality of the book and illustrations and the classic charm of characters and theme.  The Illustrator, John LaFree, and I had a great signing event in Orlando and mailed books to all of the backers.  Hopefully you received your copies and have already shared it with friends and family. 

I will be in New Orleans for a signing event & reading at the Maple Street Book Shop on Saturday, October 24th from 11:30-1.  Please stop in if you are in the area and share with any family and friends who live in the vicinity.  I am excited to be able to sign the book in the same city that provided the setting for our magical little dog park!

Also, I need a huge favor from you.  The future of tomorrow  ("Tuesday") is dependent upon the success of today ("Monday")!  I have incredible story lines and themes mapped out for the next two books and John is eager to begin drawing our favorite pups again.  Please help us get some more exposure and momentum behind the current book by providing a review on Amazon and Goodreads.  I will personally donate $3 to Pacer's National Bullying Prevention Center for every unique review placed on these sites during the month of October, which is National Bullying Prevention month! 

Thanks again for all of the continued support and encouragement.  The park is only successful with readers like you to maintain it.  Hope to see you in New Orleans on the 24th or on the review page!

High Five, Jen
