Update #1: Thanks for your support!

Posted on October 7, 2009

It's a good thing I went to a seminar last week on 'failure' because now I know how to handle the sad fate of my project. I really appreciate all your support, and I'm sorry there will not be a book, exciting mystery prizes, or tiny little felted animals in our future.

Very soon, I will post an update about what Jerry (the private investigator) has been up to since day one of the project. It's amazing how fast 21 days flew by, but Jerry was restless and got started early. That means we'll have some news for you in the near future about the search for the dogwalker.

As Kickstarter sadly reminded me this morning... "funding on Kickstarter is all or nothing, all pledges are now released, and funding is over." Thanks for you support along the way. We made it over the half way mark so it was great to feel the love. If motivation gets the best of me, and I find a way to get the book together, you all will be the first to know when it's available on blurb.com!

Again, a monster huge thanks to all!
