Kickstarter

Everything helps! If you want to pitch in just to see how this whole thing unfolds then this is the spot for you! Every little bit goes a long way.

Don't leave empty-handed! You receive a double-sided, glossy PENPAL bookmark. Obviously you're going to want to use this for the PENPAL novel, but I suppose it would also work for other books...probably.

Remember collector cards? So do I! In addition to the bookmark, you'll get 1 of 6 random collector cards designed by the talented Carolyn Nowak. Each card features a different comic book cover illustration; there's 1 for each chapter of the book. That's not all though. Turn it over and you'll see a part of the map from the story "Maps." Collect all 6 to complete the whole map! Scroll down on my Kickstarter Story to see one of the cards here!

The reason you're here! You'll receive the bookmark, a collector card, PLUS one of four promotional 1" pins (at random), and a SIGNED special edition of the PENPAL novel, which you helped make possible! CANADA please add $10. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS please add $15. NOTE: For this package and all of the ones that follow, if you want additional signed copies of the book, just add $20 per book.

Wear your support on your sleeve...literally! Everything above PLUS your choice of t-shirt. Choose one of two designs and the shirt's size. These will be screen-printed (NOT cheap iron-ons) in limited quantities in response to the Kickstarter demand. BUT WAIT! I'll also send you a high-quality vinyl sticker with the PENPAL logo. Slap this bad boy on your car, guitar, folder, or face and be an official PENPAL. Scroll down for pics! CANADA please add $10. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS please add $15.

We've got a collector here! Everything above, but instead of just one collector card, now you get ALL SIX. Want to have all 6 comic book covers? Want to have the map? This is the pack for you! NOTE: For this package and any of the ones that follow add $25 if you want an extra shirt! CANADA please add $10. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS please add $15.

Memorialize and immortalize your support IN THE BOOK! Everything above, but now the book will have your name in it. What? To show my gratitude for your help, I'll place your name on a special "Thank You" section at the beginning of PENPAL. CANADA please add $10. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS please add $15.

Limited Edition PENPAL package! You want it all? You got it, and then some! You get the bookmark, the sticker, ALL FOUR pins, BOTH shirts, ALL SIX collector cards, a signed, stamped and, HAND-NUMBERED copy of PENPAL, and a special thank you in the book. This will all be mailed to you in a SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION PENPAL BOX that pays homage to the story "Balloons." In keeping with the theme of the box, you'll also receive a signed "FOR STAMPS" dollar that's limited to this pack alone! Scroll down and look left to check it out! Shipping is included for U.S. buyers. CANADA and INTERNATIONAL ORDERS please contact me for rates.

RESELLER PACKAGE! This is for any store-owners, -- either brick-and-mortar or estore -- that would like to put PENPAL up for sale in-shop for customers. Here you get 25 books, 15 shirts of your choice, 25 bookmarks, and 25 stickers. CONTACT ME for shipping rates!

Original PENPAL ART pack: Here you'll receive the original (and only) hand-drawn illustration of the PENPAL poster, signed by the artist and professionally matted and framed. This comes in addition to the special Collector Box that contains the autographed, stamped, and hand-numbered novel, the bookmark, all six collector cards, all four pins, both shirts, the sticker, and a print of the poster.
