Christopher Ruz | 3 comments First, a massive thank-you to all those involved in the organisation and execution of the Athena's Daughters Kickstarter. I was invited to this project a little later than most, so I missed out on the huge groundswell of support that came with the launch. Seeing so much love for great scifi was a great way to cap off 2013.

I'm excited and honoured to be contributing to this project alongside so many talented authors, and if nobody minds the upstart youngster starting a topic, I'd love to find out what everyone is planning for Apollo's Daughters. I'm working on a project close to my heart, a near-future detective noir centered around a returned Australian soldier who finds herself working as a peacekeeper in her own country.

So, hit me up! What's everyone's big idea? And how can we maximise visibility during the final eight days of the Kickstarter?

:::sigh::: I can only watch from the sidelines on this one, but this sounds great. I did up my pledge to be sure I scored a copy of Apollo's, though.

Linda | 5 comments I wanted to use my paypal account to contribute to this. I do not see where I can do that. Are you only accepting from people's amazon accounts?

Hi Linda,

Janine will have to confirm this, but I don't think we have an option on how the payments are processed. I don't know if there is a relationship between Amazon and Kickstarter, but all the ones I've contributed to have automatically taken me through Amazon for payment.

Best,

Danielle

LOL...I'm right there with you! But you know what...it comes with SO many things even at just a $5 donation that it's worth just a little more. I've lost track at how many novels, short stories and audiobooks the supporters get in addition to the books the Kickstarter will actually produce...but it is an insanely high number!

Heck you'll get three electronic titles just from me!

Yesterday's Dreams by Danielle Ackley-McPhail The Halfling's Court A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale by Danielle Ackley-McPhail

And a new audiobook called Flash In the Can, which I both wrote and voiced.

LOL...can you tell I'm excited about this project?

Best,

Danielle

Oh! Linda, it's you! LOLOL Hi! Did you already donate? or would this be a new donation? In either case you can add Apollo's Daughters as an add-on to any donation level for only $20 more. So if you already donated $20 for Athena's Daughters you can increase your donation by $20, leave your reward level the same and then when the Kickstarter ends the organizers will email you to ask what your Add-on was for.

I know I explained that a little confusingly, but if it doesn't make sense I am sure Janine will chime in when she sees this and explain better.

Linda | 5 comments Danielle...yes it is me! Hello to you! Are you out of your jammies yet?

I haven't contributed yet because of the timing, a bit too close to Christmas for me. there were a few other things at that level i wanted too. I have done these twice now. i rather like getting a book no one else has! LOL
