Greetings everyone!

I'm writing you from Orlando, where I've been lucky enough to perform my first book, The Goldilocks Quartet, with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. It's been a special week of introducing young families to classical music, my first love. :)

Meanwhile, I've been working on fulfilling orders. If you haven't completed your survey, please do so. I want to make sure everyone receives their pins before the holiday season begins. It's going to be here sooner than you think!

Just a quick clarification about digital rewards:
* If you purchased an eBook of The Odd Dog and you've completed your survey, it should be making its way to you this morning along with a bonus set of coloring pages.

* If you purchased an eBook of The Odd Dog's Guide to Making Friends (or the hardcover version) it's still in production. I'm hoping to have an eBook ready by the end of 2025, with the hardcover coming out in the spring. I promise, it will be worth it!

I know this might've caused a little confusion since I've marked orders as fulfilled even if they didn't have these items. The reason is that I cannot provide tracking if an order isn't marked that way. Rest assured, I will send out Odd Dog's Guide as soon as it's ready!

Thank you all for your support. I hope you love the pins as much as I do! I'm sending out a new batch of pins when I return next week, so get your surveys in if you haven't and you should receive pins and things by November!

Thank you all, and have a wonderful day,

Leia

Greetings Odd Dog Squad!

Thank you to everyone who pledged and everyone who's had a chance to fill out their surveys! I've been working on fulfilling them, and several have already gone out.

Here's a few important updates:
Pin Displays-- The pin displays were taking a little longer than I'd hoped, so I decided to fulfill everything else I could before tackling them. They are expected to arrive this week. As soon as I receive them, I'll mail them out. If you ordered one, no further action is needed.

The Odd Dog's Guide to Making Friends- if you ordered the 2nd book in the series, I promise-- it is coming! It's just taking a little longer than I'd hoped. If you ordered it, I will be mailing it out when it's available; that will likely be spring 2026. I will be sending a notification when that has been sent. This book means a LOT to me and I've been getting a ton of feedback from shelters and rescues throughout the country on this one. I just want to make sure it's right!

The Odd Dog; eBook versus Hardback- On one or two orders I made the mistake of sending a physical copy when you ordered an eBook. Think of it like it's the lottery-- I will still honor the eBook version, I just threw in an extra book (apparently). :D

That's it for now-- I'll be trying to keep everyone apprised as I can. Please reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. I'm a one-person shop so things don't always happen in the timely manner I hope!

Thank you for all of your incredible support and love for this project. If you love your pins, please consider taking a pic and using the hashtag #odddogbook.

Have a wonderful day!

PS-- if you missed your chance to pledge, the Pre-Order Store is open, so check it out!

Good evening from snowy KC!

I'm excited to announce that we've unlocked filler pins, which means that everyone who has pledged by today will get a free filler pin set with your order!

It's the final stretch of the campaign, and I want to thank everyone who has helped get us over the finish line! I'm just wondering-- could we stretch just a little farther?

Here's what I'm thinking... if we can get to $1800 by the campaign's end, how about I unlock one more pin?

Here are the pins we didn't get a chance to unlock:

If we can hit $1800 I'll put one more poll up letting you vote on these precious pups (who, by the way, are all based on real dogs!)

Meanwhile, please lock in your votes for the filler pin set you'll unlock. You can choose from fetching toys, tugging toys, and tasty treatos!

Thank you again, and have a wonderful evening!
