We have quite a few things to report in case you missed them on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram etc (so many venues), etc! Let's do this. Starting July 10th, 2015 through today...To the business!
1. Fandom news
• AllSoulsCon:
If you plan to buy a ticket, time is running out to purchase at the discounted price! You have until 13 August (Diana's birthday!) If you want to submit a fan-panel you have until the 31st of July! Last but not least, ASC is holding a Human Myth-buster Giveaway! It's a good one, too. Prizes pictured below!

| Check out these awesome prizes! Perfect if you are new to the series! |
• Ashmole 782:
Seems like the site (like the book) has come to life after some dormancy! A new post has gone up, and the ladies of Ashmole 782 promise great things in store, including a possible read-along (from what we see, that's the conclusion we came to!) You can check that out here: "It's A Discovery of Witches Season".
• ASTDG:
'Creature Challenge' is on-going. From our vantage point on Twitter, it appears as though there is sort of a character head-to-head bracket system in place. To check terms & details, click the their link! (it will take you to their FB group).
• Fetch Goody Alsop:

| "There's nothing behind you, honey. And the book hasn't gone far..." *click image to enlarge* |
If you haven't yet listened their 2nd episode, do it! Ginger discusses her adventures in Seattle, and the highlight of the episode: a segment where she has a face-to-face Q&A with Deborah Harkness: Episode 2.
• The Tenth Knot:
Laura has been traveling abroad (Oxford/London) and walking in the footsteps of Matthew and Diana! She's just recently returned and managed to fight her jet lag with some lattes and this post: Part 1 - The Bodleian. She promises to share some really beautiful pictures of places featured in The All Souls Trilogy. We've already gotten a tempting preview on Twitter (see below). More to come on The Tenth Knot!
As seen on Twitter from Laura:

| The All Souls Game Night Giveaway! |
Here at Daemons Domain, we have published our first Weekly Geek (subject: 'The Discovery of Witches'), are hosting the Game Night Giveaway, and we've opened an Instagram account (?!) — ok, we weren't planning on it initially, but after playing with it and getting comfortable, we thought "why not!"—> That was the same attitude that got us into Tumblr a few years ago. It never ends! :)
We also held our first "Flash Giveaway!" Congratulations: @CAcatlady! Sarah's witchball is on her her broom headed your way! How quickly just depends on the wind. :)
Over at Armitage4Clairmont's FB page we were having great fun looking at some new SDCC RA pics. That jacket, though! :)
All in all, it's been pretty calm here with us. Well, the main giveaway is really exciting. Did we mention it? ;) The All Souls Trilogy board game (plus a signed book, a t-shirt and a gift card) is nothing to sneeze at! We are going to go with the cliché, 'you've got to be in it to win it!' Yup. We said it. #NoShame - Ends MONDAY!
2. Other points of interest around the web
• The Magical Mont-Saint-Michel: an Island once more at high tide by NormandyTourism on YouTube
Do you remember Diana and Matthew's journey to France in Shadow of Night?
This was their first stop!
• Addendum ii: Christopher Marlowe, featuring Matt Gourley
We found this podcast fun and informative! Thank you, @CAcatlady (coincidently, the winner of our Flash Giveaway) for sharing! What a riot! This was an interview with 'Christopher Marlowe' - it touches upon his atheism, his thoughts on Shakespeare, his sexuality, his works, his questionable death, and his time spying for the queen. 'Marlowe' also talks of his play, Dr. Faustus. We've actually listened to a couple of different episodes, and already we know we will eventually enjoy the entire catalog! We recommend subscribing if you love literature, theatre and humor! Here is the YouTube intro to this particular piece:
