Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,
We have passed the halfway point. Only 44 days left in our fundraising campaign. Sorcery for Beginners will definitely be published, but we are still aiming for the FULL editing and marketing package. To get that, we need to keep selling copies.
And we had a big boost yesterday -- out of thousands of books, Sorcery for Beginners was chosen as one of the Top 35 unpublished projects on Inkshares! It’s called The List, and you can read about it here:

There we are, right up top! Cue my reaction:
Basically, the top three pre-sellers on The List by Dec 31 will get a full publishing package. And maybe a solid-gold car, I’m not sure. Either way, it’s pretty awesome.
So if you haven’t bought a book yet, or you know someone who might like a copy, now is the time. Send the link to friends, keep sharing on Facebook, guilt your family into making a purchase, whatever works. Juliane and I really appreciate your support.
Thank you all --
mh
Happy Autumn KOD Supporters,
Who thinks this is a good week to give away things that might help you escape or give you something to look forward to? Me too. Welcome to the Raffle-a-rama update!
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. ;-)
