@DRAGON-SNAPPER
We’re Re branding. “Dark Evil Overlord Stanton” was too heavy handed and confusing to my underlings who were under the impression that we were the good guys. Solution: Remove “evil” from the title. -

Since I can’t keep up I’ll just say two things.
1. “DARK Overlord” does NOT equal “evil overlord”.
2. Should the title actually be “Chosen One of Three”?

“Yes, Professor. As long as they have equal parts water and forum post ideas, they will be able to whip up some wooden coins.”

“A most excellent proposition,” slithers a familiar dark voice from a shrouded corner. A gloved fist slowly breaks the plane of light cast by a candle. The fingers uncurl to reveal a small bag with a label that reads ‘Mix 1 part water with 1 part forum post to produce 50 wooden coins’. “For the Lady with all the questions. And there is plenty more…[Read more]

@theliterarycrusader and @bethanysinkyroses, thanks for pushing things through to completion in my absence. I really appreciate it.
I have accepted a new job and moved to a new city and the dust is just beginning to settle. I’ll get back in the swing of things soon. Just as soon as someone can point me to the nearest thing-swing…

Above the cheers of elation from the hundreds of troll-thingys and serfs that crowd the castle courtyard, the Dark Overlord emerges from his dark tower. A hush fall over the crowd as the air buzzes in excited anticipation.
“My fellow KeePers, Troll-Thingys, serfs, Question-Asker, and Professor,” a long pause for dramatic effect. The pause…[Read more]

The Dark Overlord emerges from a dark passage that spills dark wisps of dark…er…ness. Yeah, Darkness. Anyway, it is super cool and it totally sets the mood. The mood of Whoa, this is probably REALLY important. The Dark Overlord opens his word-hoard and the following reaches your ears.

@bethanysinkyroses, I think that will work nicely. I will right up a quick summary for @theliterarycrusader to use to create a graphic (don’t worry, I will also put it in the official channel of “getting stuff made”).

@stewie-plotter, we re-branded my title to “Dark” Overlord after we did all those focus groups, remember? They said “Evil” was a little too heavy handed and “Dark Evil” was too confusing. Something about Dark not meaning the same thing as Evil. To be honest, I wasn’t paying much attention during that focus group, but the troll-thingies down in…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses and @hope, Awesome thoughts! I totally agree with the main purpose of this handout:

I think it would be great to keep a lot of open space on the card for writing notes and such since it is used during a conversation. Thus, we are only putting the vary core of…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses, I’m going to tag @aratrea (Josiah) because he just actually took KP to a homeschool conference.
I would definitely like to see KP at more homeschooling conferences because it is a place where we are most likely to be able to interact with our target audience (Young Christian Authors, or their parents in this case). I know at…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper, Fun fact, getting captured by dragons is actually how I got my Marketing job here at Kingdom Pen. Also, the fact that dragons smell like coffee is the number 1 reason why I was trying to capture them.

A courier rabbit hops up to you, smiles, tips his hat, sneezes, recovers from the sneeze, looks as though he might sneeze again, doesn’t, appears to forget what he was doing, hops a short way off sheepishly, ponders, turns back to you, ponders again, snaps his rabbit paw digits (what would be fingers on a human), reaches in his satchel, pulls out…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses, That is a Great Idea! I’m going to tag @theliterarycrusader (Brianna) who is our copy editor and graphic designer.
