The start is being kicked!
Well, it has begun. My Kickstarter project to help fund the production, printing, and distribution of my novel, Singularity Deferred, has been approved and it's live!

If you have somehow accidentally stumbled upon this post and have no idea what's going on: check out the novel info here:
