Heading into the End of the Year
Hello, everyone! We’re rapidly approaching the end of the year here and I will probably have at least one more update before 2025 but I wanted to at least send you an email to let you know how things are going right now.
Grimoire Academy
This past weekend Peabody and I went up to Dayton for the Grimoire Academy. I was worried I wouldn’t sell anything but thanks to all the lovely people who came out I sold around forty books and made enough money to cover table costs for at least two more conventions. (More on that later.)
People also really seemed to like the calligraphy I did on the paper bags so I’ve been wondering if I should get prints made of calligraphy I’ve done? Is that something people would like to buy? Reply to this email and let me know.
Kickstarter
I’m sure you’re all aware but my Kickstarter for my third book ends in two weeks. We are still only at 30% of goal so every bit people can donate helps a lot. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell your favorite crazy English teacher from high school. Be sure to check out the link below.

Conventions in 2025
As of right now I’ve got two conventions I’ve booked tables to vend at for this year. The first is Bourbon City Steam in Louisville, Kentucky on 14-16 March. If you’re able to travel to the Louisville area I’ll be there with books as well as Bundersnoot stickers and pins for sale.
But I have good news for anybody out on the East Coast, the second will be Key City Steampunk in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 8-10 August. This is my first time heading to Key City so it’ll be an exciting new experience and hopefully it’ll be a nice time as well. And it’ll go better than the last time I was in Gettysburg.
As you can see that does leave me with a fairly open schedule besides those two weekends so if you know of any other conventions, especially within a couple hours of Cincinnati, and you’d like me to try to vend at send me an email!
Rate My Familiar
Another reason there haven’t been as many updates is people haven’t sent me familiars to rate. If you’d like Bundersnoot to rate your familiar, send a picture and short description to familiars@thekalpar.com
Your friend in books and trains,
