Just over 24 hours left …
And we are almost 20% over goal! People, that is INCREDIBLE! I couldn’t be more grateful, or more stunned.
As we approach the campaign’s final day, I wanted to let everyone know that even if you don’t get the chance to back this Kickstarter, you need have no fear, as most of the rewards will eventually be available to non-backers. Backers, of course, will get them first—but the ebooks, trade paperbacks, stories, etc., will all be available to the general public before the end of 2012.
There is, however, one thing that ONLY backers can get. And that is the GOLD version of the Tesla Industries Identification Pin, which you get when you back at the $45 level. In this, the creatively named “Backer Version”, the triangle will be rendered in shiny gold as shown below. If you see someone wearing this pin, it means they backed the Kickstarter from the beginning—or perhaps even before the beginning, as my presupporter-backers will be receiving this version as well. Once the Kickstarter is over, this version will not be available again (though it is possible I might resurrect it if I decide to do a Kickstarter for THE UNSTEADY EARTH.)

For non-backers, I will also do a separate run of pins, same dimensions and everything, but the triangle will be rendered in yellow. This is the version that I will sell through my Website. As you can see, it will still be incredibly handsome and wonderful.

And that’s it for tonight! I’m really not scraping for more contributions at this point, as y’all have already made me blush with your generosity. But I did want to put a last-minute message out there in case there are people who really want the gold version of the pin.
