Drift Compatible podcast mentions my Kickstarter.

My buddy Brent Cochran does a podcast (Drift Compatible), and he was kind enough to plug the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter at the end. Brent’s a good guy and although I don’t do podcasts* this one sounds like those of my readers who do like podcasts might like this one. IYKWIM. :significant look:

*I dunno why I don’t ‘do’ podcasts. I just don’t.

Fulfillment of the Great 04/13/2020 Kickstarter Flat-Out Cooking DARE!

Wow, OK, that worked. “That” being my promise to make this recipe if I hit two grand on the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter today. I did, thus necessitating the assemblage of the ingredients. I was particularly impressed with the way my wife handed me a bunch of muffin cups when I asked, slightly despairingly, whether we even had such an esoteric item. She’s good at that sort of thing.

Anyway: behold! Red Wine Chocolate Mini Muffins!

I have everything except the sprinkles. I will do this. I will not be constrained by the artificial chains of sanity, and none shall stand in my way! Not society, not civilization, and nay, not even my wife and her endearing wince at my enthusiasms! The muffins will be made. THIS, I COMMAND!

Plus, I get muffins out of it.

The Dreaded Kickstarter Plateau.

We’re getting to the midway point of the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter, and I thought I’d describe some of the stuff that’s going on behind the scenes with it, as it were. In particular I thought I’d mentioned the Dreaded Kickstarter Plateau.

The basic, more-or-less accurate gist of this is: Kickstarters have a burst in the beginning (as everybody signs up in the first rush) and a burst at the end (as everybody who meant to sign up does so before the deadline). In between lies… the plateau. These are the days when you get a fraction of the interest that you did before, and your obsessive clicking of the refresh button doesn’t get you that sweet, sweet dopamine rush that comes when you see the numbers go up.

Listen to the first two minutes of FROZEN DREAMS!

BEHOLD! The above is the first two minutes of FROZEN DREAMS, narrated by Sally Stewart, narrator of “Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus.” We haven’t hit that pledge goal for the Kickstarter – yet – but, with less than $200 to go for the $2K stretch goal, I need to be keeping track of what’s coming up, and what I may have to pay for. If you like audiobooks, or just want to hear the first scene from the book, check it out!

Another physical copy tier has been added to FROZEN DREAMS.

I was going to wait, but people kept telling me not to wait, and then my sister-in-law asked a pointed question, and that was pretty much it at that point. You know how it is. I don’t think a third series of signed and lettered copies of FROZEN DREAMS is in the cards, though: my back ain’t what it used to be.
