Hi Everyone ~

With just 40 hours to go, if there are any backers at the 4-figure level out there, now's the time to speak up! LOL. Realistically, it must be said that the chances of hitting our target at this point are, realistically, close to zero--but miracles sometime happen.

In the meantime, I want to say a huge thanks to everyone who pledged anyway. Your support underscores my sense that I'm doing something worthwhile with Panverse.

Onwards!

Dario

... story teasers for Panverse Two are up!

Read them at http://panversepublishing.com/P2.htm by simply clicking on a story tile in the Table of Contents.

Well, friends, we have two weeks and almost $10k to go! Can we do it? Can we? I'm keeping my fingers crossed, since blood sacrifices to the Elder Gods are generally frowned upon these days. ;-)

I'll be pushing this project all the way to the wire, and anything more you can do to spread the word will be enormously welcome. In the meantime, sales of EIGHT AGAINST REALITY are picking up, and our gorgeous new volume, PANVERSE TWO, with five awesome, original novellas, is in proof stage and looking fantastic!

However things go over the next 14 days, I want to say a huge and heartfelt thanks to all of you for your ongoing and solid support, and assure you that Panverse Publishing is here to stay.

ONWARDS!!

Dario

Hi Everyone ~

First, let me say thanks again to all of you who've pledged to Panverse. You are the BEST!

Now, with just 25 days to go (we started at 45 days), we're only 14% funded--scary. I'm still hopeful that we'll meet our goal, but this is a huge gap to bridge. And surprising, when I look at some of the other projects on Kickstarter and how fast they fund, even at similar or greater targets. Maybe bringing Story and Wonder back to Science Fiction literature and publishing exciting new, authors just isn't that sexy? Well, it is to *me.* :)

In conclusion, if you know any heavy hitters or angel investors who like Science Fiction and believe in what Panverse is doing, please send them our way! Crunch time is fast approaching.

Keeping the Faith,
Dario

With a month to go, we're still a very long way from our goal. But I'm seeing a big uptick in hits on the Panverse website, and I think that many people will be watching our progress with the thought of pledging as the deadline approaches... now I know how they feel in the NPR studios! LOL

Dario

Thanks, everyone, for keeping those pledges coming, and a big thanks to Cory and the BoingBoing team for helping spread the word.

I'm humbled and inspired by our backers' generosity, and the many nice comments and messages of support for what Panverse is trying to do. Thanks you so much. This is an ambitious target to meet, and your pledge, and anything tyou can do further spread the word, is a huge help.

I'll be out of town on a brief trip through Sunday, and look forward to updating you on Monday. Thanks you all so much!

Dario

Thanks so much to those of you kicking off Panverse's Kickstarter Funding Project! This project means a great deal to me, and of course it's going to be an anxious six weeks... so your support and faith in Panverse Publishing, and the larger context of genre, reading, and getting new writers into print, is especially welcome :)
