THE SAGA QUEST

42ND SANTA CLARA ART & WINE

It’s festival time, Reader!

This weekend SEP 14 & 15 me and my husband will be at the 42nd Annual Santa Clara Art and Wine Festival in my hometown. Once again, they’ve graciously invited me to be showcased in their juried selection of artisans and craft persons.

You’ll find us in the same location as previous years under the shady trees in our story forge in Booth 144.

We’ll have our normal selection of Inspurrational kitty prints, Kawaiinimal Gemstone Dragon prints, and digital and watercolor prints. Aleric will have 2 new coloring books for Fantasy RPG enthusiasts to add to the 6 already available. And I’ll be signing books.

As with previous years, remember to ask for your free coloring book page when you stop by (supplies are limited, please claim yours early!). And if you mention this email, we’ll even have an extra little 🎁 for you 😸

It will be a warm 71-81 degrees in Santa Clara’s Central Park this year, Reader, so remember to wear your sunscreen!

We hope you’ll stop by this weekend to say hi, Reader. But wherever your weekend leads you, just remember to get out there & spread your unique brand of awesomeness with the world. This is your friendly neighborhood storytelling Kat wishing you a wonderfully creative weekend!

Your cohort in storytelling,

Kat Vancil

KAT VANCIL THE STORYTELLER'S SAGA QUEST 91 It was Groundhog’s Day 🦫 again this past Sunday, Reader. Yes, that weird holiday based on a German tradition using a…badger? 🤷🏻♀️ However, in the 3 decades since the release of the beloved American cult classic of the same title, the plot of Groundhog’s Day has also become a storytelling device used in numerous books, TV shows, and movies. So what is this famous plot device? Basically: Your Legendary Character is stuck in a time loop repeating a...

KAT VANCIL THE STORYTELLER'S SAGA QUEST 90 It was a blisteringly hot late spring day back in 2001, Reader. The sorta day where the cheap plastic of your desk chair sticks to the back of your thighs. It was 2001 in California so absolutely NONE of the classrooms had air-conditioning. And it was over a 100 degrees out. But what made EVERYTHING worse was the fact that they were tarring the roof. Of the classroom I was in. WHILE I was in it. And yes, I was perfectly aware that it was a code...

KAT VANCIL THE STORYTELLER'S SAGA QUEST 89 “What do you mean it won’t boot up? The thing’s only a month old!” I demanded 2 years ago. You see, Reader, I had just gotten my very first MacBook Pro that wasn’t a hand-me-down and the thing had effectively killed itself the first time it updated. Oh, and did I mention it took all my data along with it? Months of story work, edits, and design assets gone just like that. Poof. Worst day ever. 😭 I had thought me and the Universe were buddies. Or at...
