KIckstarter launches is a really big way!

Well, I really shouldn't have been surprised, as I have the best, most supportive readers a writer could wish for, but the Kickstarter for The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter has kicked off in a really incredible way.

As of this writing, we are 76% to fully funding and it's been less than 24 hours!

















Here's some of the really impressive stats:

- $10,000 raised in the first 10 minutes of the launch!
- $18,452 raised in the first hour
- Currently the 22nd highest-funded Fiction Kickstarter in the US based on total pledges
- Currently the 18th most-backed Fiction Kickstarter in the US based on # of backers

If we look at this project compared to my other Kickstarters, it blows them out of the water. The following data is for first-day sales as tracked through Kicktraq:

The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter | $34,234 | 728 backers
The Death of Dulgath | $19,082 | 472 backers
Hollow World | $1,545 | 50backers

At the time it ended, The Death of Dulgath was the 2nd (or maybe 3rd, I forget) highest funded Fiction Kickstarter. It's now currently #6 (#2 as far as most-backed). With such good first-day results, we may just be able to surpass it!  Thanks everyone for all the support.
