Update #8: 6 more days left!
I know we've reached the $500 goal - but every extra bit helps, (not to mention there are still some cool rewards available) so if you know anyone that's interested in even donating $5 and getting a copy of the book, please let 'em know to donate!
Update #7: the goal has been reached!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy crap! thanks everyone for making this possible. i didn't think we were going to hit the goal so soon (11 days left!!!) so this is just crazy to me. you guys really helped make this possible and i hope you really enjoy the reward that you picked out.
once the goal date officially ends (we can still raise more money past the $500 goal) i will be in touch with all of you to get your information and if you won a commissioned piece of art, what you would want that commission to be.
thanks so much!!!

Update #6: Only 13 Days to go and we need only $95 more!!
Such a huge thanks to everyone who has donated so far! You're helping to make this book possible and with a little more help we'll hit (or maybe even over-reach) our $500 goal!!
Remember there are still a lot of awesome rewards available so if you can let anyone know about donating even $1, that'd be great!
Update #5: Ohhhh we're half way there!
okay enough of the bon jovi references - but we ARE half way there (well $5 short of half way there, but it's close enough!) the thing is we only have 20 days left - so we've gotta start getting some more donations in, otherwise we won't hit our goal!
We've got some great rewards here, so please check 'em out and get everyone you know to donate at least one dollar!
