Somehow this turned into the 12 days of Christmas... An e-book, an email, a thank you card, two signed copies, a personal phone call, the acknowledgement section inclusion, two copies of the redesigned book, and you can name a character in the sequel, which is currently being written, or future books of the series. I'll probably object if you demand "Gooberbutt" or something similar (sorry, but I need to maintain some degree of creative control), but I'm sure we can work something out. Shipping's on me.

The whole shebang above AND I'll travel to your school (anywhere in the US) to talk about how to have BIG FUN while reading and writing. I've worked with many librarians and teachers in the past and can provide references upon request. FYI, character naming is limited to the first 10 pledges of $500 or more.
Estimated delivery: Sep 2012

Thanks, Jane. We're having a good time with this and looking forward to making a pitch to a proper publisher.
Creator Jane Kulik on June 29, 2012
I am just loving the artwork, Del! Great job! Though all my grand kids are probably a bit old for your book, I may just have to read it myself!

Hi Brian,
The answer to your question is "Both." The first edition was just sent out and when the second edition is pulled together I'll send that out as well. Let me know if you have any other questions.

So is the "ebook" here for the second version or the ebook for the first version?
thanks,
Brian

No, it doesn't matter who has the Kindle account. All you do is download the attached file from my email and then transfer it to your Kindle library on your laptop. Pretty simple. The next time you link your Kindle to your laptop it'll be there. Poof! :)

(pssst, Del, I left my email, but the Kindle account is in Russ' name -- does that matter?)

Congratulations, Del! This is an amazing accomplishment on top of your real job... and who would have guessed what that little blonde boy I knew so many years ago would be doing when he grew up!

It's very exciting to watch the amount keep going up every hour. I'm checking it more than I check Facebook & email!! It's so close!!
Creator Del Shannon on May 17, 2012
Thanks, Robin. Keep thinking good thoughts and maybe something amazing will happen! I really appreciate your support and encouragement.

Please pass along my thanks to Isabelle! Hopefully she knows her mom is the namesake of Kevin's sister. :)
Thanks again, Besty!

Isabelle pledged $20 of her own savings because she really wants to hear more about Kevin's adventures! Good luck, we hope you make your goal. Hugs from Portland, Betsy
