Guten tag! I'm currently in Berlin, running around the city and gearing up for RARE in two days!! While it's been a little tiring going directly from one convention (Wild & Windy) to another, I've had the best time hanging out with readers on two continents. (Did you know Germany has no open container laws and you can just drink champagne right in the middle of the street?!! Ask me how I know!!! 😅)
My favorite part of W&W was probably when I got accosted by a gaggle of hilarious readers and their two, um... blow-up friends. (Apparently they were props for Kama Sutra Bingo???) I also loved meeting Celly 🐶 and her wonderful owner, Andie (aka my Renergade Giveaway Queen)!

And all the while I've been traveling, our incredible Amethysts & Alchemy Kickstarter has continued to blow up! We've unlocked not one but FOUR stretch goals, with my two favorite stretch goals to come: gauffered star-patterned page edges and.... TOPIE!!!

As of right now, our incredible bejeweled book has champagne-gold page edges. But if we hit our next stretch goal, we'll get these incredible engraved purple stars as well!! They are a bit pricey to include, which is why we first need to hit $100k.
But my MOST FAVORITE part of all... A TOPIE PLUSHIE!!!
I've been working furiously in the background, designing every aspect of Topie from hoof to helmet. I even got as far as this adorable prototype!

The way it works is that if we raise $125k for this Kickstarter, I will have enough funds to mass-produce him, meaning you guys can own this amazing, cuddly, fluffy-soft piggy! You'll be able to add him as an add-on to any tier you back. And the sooner we hit $125k, the more time you will have to add him! (For budgeting purposes, I expect him to be around $45-55, depending on how much we crowdfund.)

LOOK AT HOW PERFECT HE IS!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!
With two weeks left to our Kickstarter, I think we have a really good chance at hitting that goal, lofty as it is!! So if you are on the fence about supporting or haven't gotten around to it, please consider pledging! The more of us who participate, the faster we will fund this top, incredible stretch goal!!
I'll be cheering you guys on from the sidelines!!!
