17 sun-turns to go - 64% funded - and a new reward to all our crumlush backers when we reach 75% funded...

It's been a peffa-long week in the dale, with us both hard at work on writing and illustrating the new book, as well as trying to promote and 'spread the griffles' about our kickstarter project to as many saztaculous and crumlush folk as possible...

As a result, with half the time gone - we're still delighted to be 'on-course' to reach our target of £6,000 which will allow us to complete and publish the book in hardback, paperback and e-book formats  - BUT we still need as much of your help as possible in helping us to reach our goal...

SO PLEASE KEEP SPREADING THE GRIFFLES AND OUR KICKSTARTER LINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE THE MAJICK REALLY HAPPEN....

As an added incentive - Matlock has griffled to us that he wants ALL our backers who will have helped us to get to the 75% funded mark to also be given a saztaculous, completely handmade 'krellit's-tooth necklace' - alongside any other rewards already pledged for....

....'direct' from the Winchett Dale Majickal Stores - your krellit's-tooth necklace isn't only one the the dale's 'must-have' fashion accessories this season - but also helps ward off any unwanted intrusions by slow-jarrocks, whiffles and leaning-jutters...which, if you know anything about these rather peffa-glopped creatures, you'll also know to be a peffa-useful thing, indeed....

SO PLEASE KEEP SPREADING THE GRIFFLES, GOOD AND SAZTACULOUS FOLK, AND IN THE MEANTIME, HAVE THE MOST PEFFA-CRUMLUSHED WEEKEND....

Latest completed original illustration from the book - Ursula flies home to find an unwelcome intruder has already pid-padded there first....NOW AVAILABLE AS ANOTHER OF OUR REWARDS...

SAZTACULOUS NEWS!

We're well over half-way in less than two sun-turns!

There's ganticus excitement mounting here in Winchett Dale, as our Kickstarter project reaches a saztaculous 56% funded in just two-days - thanks to the incredible generosity of our 15 'Saztaculous Matlock Folk Backers' in pledging to our project to complete and publish the 2nd in the Matlock the Hare trilogy - 'The Puzzle of the Tillian Wand'...

Such is the excrimblyness here, that we're already hard at work (in-between writing and painting the new book!) beginning to think peffa-serously about our stretch-goals and compiling extra-Matlock rewards for all our backers who have been crumlush enough to pledge their support so far - in order to make the 'journey' as fun and majickal as we can for everyone...

Whilst Jacqui and I always hoped and had our paws-crossed that  we might get funded - the sheer speed and overwhelming response so far has quite taken our hare's breath away!  There's nothing nicer than to know that folk engage and appreciate Matlock as much as we do...it really is peffa-shindinculous....

If you haven't already seen the pitch - then PLEASE take a look, and get a glimpse of ourselves and (more importantly!) the project itself, together with all the rewards we are offering....  

If you like what you see - then please share this link with as many folk as you can, and let's spread the griffles together....

In the meantime, Jacqui and I are working full-time on the book, as Matlock begins to get just that oidy bit closer to solving The Puzzle of the Tillian Wand...

THANKING YOU ALL SO MUCH - and have a most saztaculous and crumlushed sun-turn...

INTRODUCING OUR NEW KICKSTARTER PROJECT

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE PROJECT'S PROGRESS!

Well, it's been a fairly momentous, if not saztaculous few sun-turns here in Winchett Dale (and pretty hare-raising, too, to be peffa-honest!) as we finally managed to complete and launch our Kickstarter pitch for Matlock's 2nd ganticus adventure - The Puzzle of the Tillian Wand - and less than 24 hours in, and we've already a ganticus 44% funded - all thanks to our incredible crumlush backers - we are eternally grateful to you all...

Ursula begins her long journey home.  First picture from 'The Puzzle of the Tillian Wand.'

A while ago, if someone had griffled to us that we could crowd-fund a novel about a majickal-hare, we might well have thought they had been drinking one or two many guzzworts at The Winchett Dale Inn, but the most saztaculous thing is that it is possible!!  Crowdfunding has allowed independent artists, writers, musicians and their ilk to pid-pad straight past the conventional 'gatekeepers' (editors, agents, pr people and the like) and instead take the work to the folk that really matter the most - the end-users (or, in our case  the peffa-crumlush 'Saztaculous Matlock Folk')  It's online philanthropic democracy (please don't ask Proftulous to say that - especially if he's eating a tweazle-pie at the same time, you'd be pebble-dashed into the nearest wall in less than a blinksnap...) - or put another way - if the folk that really matter think it's peffa-glopped, then they won't back it.  But if they like it, then they become kingmakers to people's dreams and ambitions...

Anyway, that griffled, we are now underway with our very own venture - paws, toes and long hare's ears crossed - taking our place alongside grillions of other projects and hoping for the best - we'll be keeping you all informed every few sun-turns of our progress - and a peffa-crumlushed and most ganticus 'thanks' to everyone who has backed Matlock so far...he's already a lot closer to solving the puzzle of the Tillian Wand...!!!

Please share this blog to help us spread the griffles, and have a most saztaculous few sun-turns, all...!
