Update #5 · Apr 17, 2012 · comment

Hey! If this is your first time visiting my kickstarter.com project, welcome! You may want to click on the far left tab above to learn more about Big in Britain: a novel.

Hi Everyone!  Tonight thru tomorrow night I, like my girl, Jennifer Heath, am laying it on the line. 

I am way behind on my fund-raising goals.  So, please pass around the link, if you please, to anyone who you can think of. I want to see how many $1 donations I can get in 24 hours.  Here's a little blurb you can copy and paste into an email or FB message to your friends:

Dear Kick-Ass friend,

I am witing to tell you about my friend Emily Stone Davis.  She is writing a book called Big in Britan: a novel. Em is raising funds on kickstarter.com to take a trip to Scotland to finish her research.  Yes, I agree, she should have set it in a location she either knows more about or lives closer to but, it's too late for that now.  The book is going to be  funny, sexy, heart-warming and very well-researched.   I've read excerpts of the completed first draft and I can't wait to get my hands on the finished product. 

So, won't you please join me in pledging just $1 dollar today?  Click on the link below or copy and paste itinto your browser.

I promise you will never regret donating $1 today and Emily--who'd literally give you the shirt off her back (and not just because she likes to be nude) will be eternally grateful.

Your friend,

You

Okay Backers and Backers-to-be, please enjoy the dulcet tones of my voice as I read an excerpt from the rough manuscript of Big in Britain: a novel.

Lucy and Jennifer, old pals from summer camp happen to run into each other on the flight from LA  to the UK.   Yes, I know its a small world.  That's how these things happen in books.
