MeiLin Miranda G.Y., you've literally got nothing to lose. :) Good luck to you!


message 1: by G.Y.

G.Y. Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. Love what you're doing with Kickstarter. I was contemplating doing something similar when I release my book later this year, but I hadn't seen any author try it until you! Thanks for diving in and showing the rest of us the possibilities. Cheers!
