Once upon a time in the land of Redmond, there were three authors who went on the most amazing adventure - to share their bedtime stories with the world.

 Welcome:

• I'm Lynnea 
• I'm Bluesy
• I'm Luca
• And I'm Jeremy

 Intro:

• Welcome Bluesy as our guest podcast host. 
• Thank you all for your continued support and contributions as we develop The Land of Atheria. Without your support we could not have made it this far. 
• If you're new check out our website for more information and how you can support via our website. It's your support that allows us to continue to develop the Land of Atheria. 
• We are also 10 weeks away (about) from the big launch!!

Update on Episodes:

• We've been working on episodes 41 - 42! 
  • Things in Atheria begin to heat up in these last 10 episodes. 
  • The princesses begin to develop stronger relationships with a few powerful animals. 
  • Atheria also begins to see more and more opposition from the enemy and a growing need to protect Atherians everywhere. 
• We hit 450 listens!! Our listens are on FIRE!

 Update on Illustrations:

• Because of our AMAZING donors, we're going to be doing 4 character illustrations! We'll be doing an illustration for Nea, Lulu, O'Lah and Darius. 
• We've got some drafts from Mario that we're going to start sharing! Let's us know what you think. 

Update on Marketing:

• We posted a question last week on Facebook and Instagram asking for feedback on a blue fairy that we're including in a few episodes. We had some great feedback from our fans! Thank you all for your thoughts and recommendations. We decided on the name "Zig" and will be using the name "Zag" as well for another fairy character. Many thanks to Tyler Snure, author of "The Jewels of Fate" for the idea.
• We'll also be using some of the donations for Facebook ads starting in a few weeks. 
• We still need reviews on Apple Podcast. If you listen to the stories and like the podcast, please leave us a review. It's going to be crucial to have more reviews as we get closer to our launch date of September 8th. 

Update on Merch:

• No update on mech.

Update on Equipment:

• No update. The grill is amazing!

Other: 

• We interviewed cousin Bluesy, who is the basis for our character Princess Blu. Who also is joining us today on our update! 

 What was I blown away the most about this week? 

• Lynnea: The illustrator and how many listens we got. 
• Luca: We got 400 listens! 
• Blu: Doing the interview! 
• Jeremy: How many people came back to me this week telling me how much they enjoy the podcast and have been listening! 

Shout out of the Week:

• Thom for his amazing donation and support! Which will allow us to do the character illustration and the marketing! Huge!

 Question of the Week:

• Are you downloading the coloring pages and using them? If so, send us your amazing artwork and we'll post it on Facebook and Instagram.
