And we have a winner!
Post CommentCongratulations to Jason Lee, winner of the Argleton geogame. Jason actually managed to solve the puzzle in a few hours, which quite surprised me. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be solved the day it was posted, so well done Jason! You'll get an email from me soon and a selection of five hand-bound notebooks will arrive on your doorstop in the New Year.
An honourable mention must also go to Noirin Plunkett, whose correct answer was only a few hours behind Jason's.
Thank you to all of you who played! If you want the answers to all the clues, then you can find them here http://chocolateandvodka.com/argleton-geogame-solutions/ (password: Argleton).

Argleton geogame sent to backers
Post CommentAll Argleton backers should check their email as you should now have a fun little something to do over the Christmas break, or even before: the Argleton geogame! The email explains how the game works, but any problems, please do post a comment.
The game will close on January 31st or upon receipt of the first correct answer. I will announce on ChocolateandVodka.com and here when the game has been won. And remember, the winner will receive five hand-made notebooks, crafted by yours truly over the next few weeks!
With the completion, at last, of the geogame, this brings to an end my Kickstarter project. Immense thanks to all of you for your continued support and patience. But before I go, I’d like to just do a little bit of housekeeping:
— To continue getting news from me, including updates on my next project Queen of the May, please sign up to my email newsletter.
— If you have not yet received your copy of Argleton, please email me and reconfirm your address as soon as possible. Sometimes copies do go astray in the mail and I will happily send a replacement as soon as I have confirmation that I’m sending to the right address.
— Please do consider leaving a review of Argleton on Amazon if you enjoyed it. It’s available in Kindle stores in the UK, America, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
— If you want to download any of the other versions, e.g. mobi or epub, these are also available free online. Please feel free to forward the story on to any friends you think might like to read it.
Thank you all once again for your kindness and generosity. Your support has meant a great deal to me over the last year and a half.

commented on a project updateHey Daniel, this kind of setback is frustrating, but it's all part of the process imho, and it's a good opportunity to learn how relationships with suppliers work. My Kickstarter project took over a year to fulfil, so I still think you're getting things done really quickly in comparison!! Good luck with the rest of it - I'm sure it will go more smoothly from here on out.

Kickstarter write Argleton blog post
Post CommentKickstarter's Cassie Marketos wrote a lovely blog post about Argleton, which made me very happy indeed. It mentions the geogame, which you may be thinking that I've forgotten... I haven't. I got really close to being ready to send out the game PDF when my landlord decided to throw us out of our flat, so right now I need to deal with that whole finding a place to live problem. Soon as that's done, I can finally wrap up the very last Argleton lose end. Fingers crossed!

Download-a-rama
Post CommentJust a quick heads-up to let you know that if you'd like Argleton in epub, mobi, html or text formats, you can now get them off my website. If you want to share your PDF or any of the file formats with friends, please do feel free to email it around as much as you like!
If you have taken unboxing photos or have written a review, do let me know so that I can add it to my reviews page. Thanks to Beth Dunn and Fiona Campbell-Howes for writing reviews, and to Beth and Stephanie Booth for great unboxing photos.
Last thing in my Argleton To Do list is the geogame, which will soon be winging its way to you as a PDF. But it's great to see the story out there in the wild - it wouldn't be out there without your support, so again, thank you!

commented on a project updateThanks Susan! Best thing to do is sign up to the newsletter as I don't want to spam people by continuing to email through Kickstarter once the final threads of this project have been tied up. Truman, thank you so much! I do hope that you enjoyed it!
