I've been so busy promoting the pattern deck Kickstarter up one side of the internet and down the other that I've completely forgotten to update about its progress here! We're at the halfway point of the campaign (it ends on September 5th), and as of me posting this, we've made it to 89% of our goal. Which is fabulous, but also I won't breathe easy until we're past the 100% line with a bit of cushion to spare. My thanks to everybody who's been spreading the word about this -- and don't forget, all of our add-ons are available at every tier! So even if the deck itself isn't of interest, you can back at $1 and still get access to signed books or bookplates, tea samples, personalized readings or horoscopes, art commissions, Tuckerizations, or your very own peacock brocade frock coat!

Meanwhile, we have some other promotional events lined up for the Kickstarter and the release of Labyrinth's Heart. This upcoming Thursday the 24th, from 4-7 p.m. Central time (5-8 Eastern, 2-6 Pacific, 9-midnight UTC), we'll be playing Rook & Rose D&D online, courtesy of New Orleans bookstore Tubby & Coo's! Our special guest player for this event is the wonderful author and editor Fran Wilde, and I have no idea what will happen in the game except guaranteed hijinks.

Alyc and I will also be at DragonCon, though I don't quite have a finalized schedule yet. If you're attending and would like anything signed, feel free to catch me after a panel or ping us to arrange a meetup; I know that getting into the dealers' building can be an incredibly time-consuming process, and we don't mind signing items in passing to save you hours of waiting in line.

Finally, two pieces of non-Rook & Rose news: first, from now until the 27th, the ebook of A Natural History of Dragons is on sale for only $2.99! And second, looking ahead to October, I'm going to be in conversation with Kate Heartfield to promote our mutual Norse-inspired works, her novel The Valkyrie and my The Waking of Angantyr. That's organized by Brookline Booksmith, and it'll be on October 27th at 5 p.m. Pacific (8 Eastern, midnight UTC).

I know there are other things I need to scrape together to post about, but brain am mush, so they will have to wait . . .
