I’ll be in Toronto for TCAF this weekend!
by David M Willis on May 9, 2024 at 5:20 pmI’m returning to Toronto this weekend for TCAF! For the first time since 2019, which was a crazy different time with no worldwide plagues and with alive moms, I’ll be boothing up inside the Toronto Reference Library! On both May 11 and 12th, you can find me on the first floor sharing table 105! That’s in the big round window area on the far street corner. I’ll have books! I’ll have magnets! I’ll be judging your different Smarties!
See you there!
Book 13 Kickstarter: $55K and final update — JENNIFER magnet!
by David M Willis on May 7, 2024 at 1:37 pmThe final unlock of the Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter gives us a JENNIFER magnet, with just 9 hours left to go! That’s a total of thirteen magnets this year, so that COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tier is looking better than ever!
If you want just Jennifer’s magnet, you can pledge at her tier. If you want her and a few other magnets, there’s the PICK THREE and PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers! And, of course, again, there’s COMPLETE MAGNET POWER!
That’s all we’ve got! Lock in your final choices. This Kickstarter ends tonight at 11:45pm Eastern!
$50K stretch goal unlocked: LYLE magnet!
by David M Willis on May 5, 2024 at 12:28 pmDumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter update!:
The campaign’s countdown has shifted from counting down days to counting down HOURS, and here we are, near the end, unveiling our twelfth character magnet!: LYLE!
Lyle’s magnet will be about 2″ x 4.5″ and you can pledge for him by himself you want! He’d pair nicely with your FREE LUCY MAGNET, I think! Two siblings for the price of one! If you need slightly more than just him, the PICK THREE and PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers are right over there as well!
And, yeah, COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers await those who need them all.
About sixty hours remain as of this writing, and maybe in that last two-and-a-half days, we can push this thing to $55K and unlock a thirteenth magnet for the thirteenth book! A bonus JENNIFER magnet is still a possibility.
This Kickstarter ends Tuesday night at 11:45pm Eastern! Pledge before you can’t!
