Event Tomorrow: Feast of the Goat Queen

Tomorrow, Brooke and I are headed down to Rabid Brewing Co for the Feast of the Goat Queen! There will be live music, wrestling, burlesque and fire dance, and BABY GOATS YOU CAN PET. The event runs from noon until 11PM, but the market will close at 7 (which is good, because 11 is past my bedtime). Tickets and more information are available here. The address is 17759 Bretz Dr Homewood, IL (south of Chicago). Costumes are encouraged.

I’ll be handing out my shiny new Journey to the Water bookmarks, and I’ll have plenty of copies of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea and The Book of the New Moon Door! Brooke has her new, delightfully spooky Macabre tarot set, as well as hundreds of other cards in all the combinations you could want. Hope to see you there!

Song of the Week

Simon & Garfunkel, “The Boxer”

Good morning!

It’s a new month, and I’ll be out to two new events in the coming weeks. First is the Kenosha Comic Con on Sunday, July 14, and second is the Feast of the Goat Queen on Saturday, July 27. I’ll be sure to remind you as we get closer to these dates.

Patreon readers have FOUR more chapters left of Journey to the Water before the serialized version is complete, and blog readers have five. I’ll be working at a polling place for the special election primary tomorrow, so the posting schedule will be moved forward a day: I’ll have a new chapter on Patreon on Wednesday, and last week’s chapter will be here on Thursday.

I’ll probably still be in the middle of rewrites when all the chapters are posted (roughly a month from now). My plan right now is to give you the first chapter/installment of some of the new projects I’ve been working on and hold a vote, so stay tuned.

Here’s some petitions:

Via Mercy Corps: Support families experiencing extreme hunger

Via Care Action: Countries are facing catastrophic hunger

Via Win Without War: Block offensive weapons bound for the Israeli government

Via Jewish Voice for Peace: Arms embargo now

That’s all I’ve got for you for today. Have an excellent week.
