    Update #3: Hooray! 12/7/2011

    All,

    Thank you thank you thank you! Because of your generosity and support and hype I've met my sales/tour goal -- and with eight days to go! I'm seriously blown away.

    I'm planning on a West Coast swing in March, with a stupid Midwest/East Coast trajectory set for May. As always, I'm open to suggestion re: venues -- the weirder the better. 

    Thanks again!

    Grateful Mike F.

    Update #2: 12/3/2011

    Thanks, everyone, for your contributions and help spreading the word. Funding is currently at 63%, which is incredible and humbling. 

    If you have any suggestions for reading-friendly venues, send them along, no matter how odd they are (in fact, the odder, the better)! I've gotten suggestions this week about Providence (actually, two), and Long Beach.

    All right!

        Probably not a million $$ to be made at the venue but a lot of Vermont local bookstores, UVM Davis Center, How about a reading on PBS channel or local cable? Glad the support is coming in well - can't believe how fast that's happening...

    Update #1: 11/29/2011

    My Kickstarter project reached $1000 tonight. Thanks, all, for your kindness and generosity thus far. If I meet the sales goal, I think I can get all books mailed out in time to arrive for Christmas. 

    I sent out the first batch of review copies last week, so hopefully some press/reviews will arrive soon to help drum up interest. In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming -- any blogs/magazines/newspapers/etc. that might have interest in review copies or stories would be a welcome addition to the campaign.

    Thanks again!
