Sept Update + Rewards!

Hi, all!

Okay, so some minor updates before I get back to the salt mines. Some of you think it's just a saying, but I crave flavor in my kitchen and refuse to pay grocery store prices.

Rewards: I have sent out the official Patreon rewards. For those who are new, these are freebies you can get from me as you accumulate pledges over time. This process is not automated, so if you think I missed you, comment below. Messaging me triples the time it takes to figure out if I missed you and I might not see it for weeks.

Master Class 5: Will be out next month

Autographed Books: On the WetLeafPress.com website later this week

Me: I have been super scattered lately. If we were mid-conversation or if I owe you a book for rewards (whatever) don't be afraid to reach out and ask. Please DO NOT use the Patreon messaging system unless that's all you have. It is a huge mess, the search function barely works.

This fall season has been extremely busy for me, but mostly because my spring/summer got all fucked up in terms of my schedule. I was sick, family was sick, I fell behind, then when summer break came, I chose to spend time with family. While I have zero regrets about that decision, it now means that I have been going full throttle while the goblins are in school because that's my only time to work. Right now, I have 4 open notebooks on my desk with notes about all the stuff I'm either working on or need to get done (like this post, actually!).

Before I go, I have one more thing to add.

Thank You: I now I do this every now and then, but I could not do what I'm doing without my Patrons. Your support helped me go from a nobody with no money to a full-time writer who is gaining steam. My collabs have some great traction, more people are discovering the Radley family, and audiobooks are selling extremely well.

I had a few serious life issues this month (think car breaking down, expensive shit) and was able to keep focusing on writing/my family instead of spending the afternoon/week with my spouse trying to figure out where to cut back on costs or whether to take a small loan to fix the issue. The whole time I was thanking my stars that royalties/etc would cover it, I was also thinking about everyone here who helped me get to this place. I'll never forget all the people who started this journey with me.

I'm off! I have a castle to write about and then it's off to the Halls of Magic once again!
