The Kickstarter funded--but don't stop now!

Adventures in Self-Publishing

I came home from a bellydancing party to discover that not only had the Kickstarter made its goal in less than four days, it was $200 over! 113% funded!


But there are 26 more days to go and there's no reason to stop there! Every $500 I go over unlocks more rewards for backers.


If I go $500 over, I'm rewriting a set of prequel stories from Temmin's childhood to hand out to backers.


PS: There's a video thank you from me

If I go $1000 over, it'll speed up production of the book 1 audiobook (I'll be able to buy the remaining gear and set up my home studio) and $30 and above backers will get a full copy instead of having to listen to it piecemeal via podcast like the rest of the world. (The audiobook will be available for sale but it'll be something like $20.)


If I go $1500 over, I'll be able to hire help to finish the world map and ALL backers will get a high-res digital version of it. Everyone else will be able to see low-res versions here, and they'll be included in the books.


If I go $2000 over I'll investigate how much it'd cost to have the world map printed on posters and send those to $100 and over backers. I haven't committed to that last because a) I don't know how much it'd cost and b) I have no serious reason to believe I'll go $1000 over let alone $2000 over. Even so, I never thought I'd get one taker for the $250 level reward (having a walk-on character named after them) and 3 people bit. One never knows!


This has been an incredible weekend and I'm absolutely exhausted now. Thank you all so, so very much.
