Just for laffs. The 25k Stretch Goal

Update #15 · May 29, 2012 · 7 comments

So, I don't think this could possibly happen in the time remaining, BUT, the idea for the 25k Stretch-Goal was to do an anthology of short stories that all take place in the City of Gateway with an original cover. I was in early discussions with some people I know who are writers, including Jordan Stratford of Wollstonecraft fame (it was his suggestion actually). I might still find a way to do it in the future after "The Book of Wizards" is finished... but if by some miracle I make it to 25k in the next 16 hours, I will make it happen sooner! 

On another note, I will be speaking about my Kickstarter campaign live tomorrow at 2PM Eastern Standard time with Dave Rapoza and Daniel Warren on their livestream page HERE. Shoudl be fun. There is also another interview I did via Skype that should be coming out sometimes this week but I have not yet recieved word on when that goes live, but when I do I will update this page.

Anyways, it's been an amazing ride, and I can't wait to get the book done so that I can get it into everyone's hands. Once the campaign ends I will post about the planned schedule for creation of all of the items, then I will continually post updates here at various stages of production. Thanks everyone!

      I agree that an anthology sounds great and I would back it if you kickstarted it.
