There's a new Kickstarter coming. Find out how the new Lapel Pins are going. Watch out for some big Coffee with The Celtfather changes. I have a lot of things in the works. I'll keep you up-to-date on Patreon and in my blog.
NEW KICKSTARTER COMING
I'm planning my next Kickstarter. It will be for an album called Come Adventure With Me. I was hoping to have it ready by Sherwood. But that seems unlikely at present.
LAPEL PIN SUCCESSES
I played MidSouthCon last weekend and brought THREE lapel pins (Selcouth, Whiskers in the Jar, and Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers). Sales were REALLY good for the cat pins. Even though Selcouth was the least popular, I'm feeling confident that I can create other album related designs that will sell.
HELP WANTED
I feel like I have limited ways to promote the album. So if you are able to help make the signal go farther, I would love your help! You can…
- Share my social media posts.
- Share podcast episodes you enjoy.
- Share blogs about the new album.
- Tell a friend.
