100% Funded!
Wow, we made it!
First off, to look at the Kickstarter page and see over 150 backers for this project is one of the most encouraging acts I’ve personally ever encountered. I won’t lie, my lemonade stand back when I was five was pretty popular, but not like this. This is like Susie’s lemonade stand from those Verizon wireless commercials. Now all I need is a phone that doesn’t only play the game Snake.
This campaign has been insane. Seriously, if there was only a camera over my shoulder, you would have seen the “refresh” button hit about three million times over the past month and a half. From the days with no pledges, to the flood at the end. I’ve met complete strangers who have gone out of their way to help spread the word. Others with successful Kickstarter projects were kind enough to answer a bunch of my questions. All of the contributors were really supportive during this entire thing and were constantly coming up with great ideas to make the overall project better.
It’s really awesome to sit back and look at how many different people had a hand in making this book possible. The great writers and artists. The backers. The media outlets. Friends. Family. All of you should be proud of yourselves. I hope to make you proud by delivering the best book possible.
And even though we hit our goal, nothing is set in stone until the campaign officially ends. There are still stretch goals out there, but most importantly, I’m trying to circulate a work of art—to get it read—to see what people think. So the more people we reach, the better!
A huge thank you to everyone for your continued support! You've made a lot of people very, very happy.
Best,
Matt

For this donation, I will rename the main character in my story Chess Match after you. That means no matter how strange your name is, even if it's Lord Pretty Alvin Richard Homes III, it will become the new name of my character. Do note that the main character will remain male. I will also allow you to come up with a personalized line of dialogue, ten words or less, which I will have your character say in the story. This line of dialogue will be bolded so it stands out. You also get the paperback version of the Memory Eater, the Special Edition ebook, a bookmark and ACKNOWLEDGED! (For international shipping, please add $10)
