HOME STRETCH
Ok- we are only 9 days away from the end of the campaign. My book would be nothing without people to read it and I am grateful to each person for their support. Artwork is still in production, I was hoping to post pictures- but that doesn't look like I will have funds to pay my artist until enough support rolls in. *crossing fingers*
ALSO:
I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning, so please be patient for a response from me. I will respond when I am awake and not in terrible pain. (It may take a few days or a week) Thank you for your support!!

$1,000 MARK- Sneak Peek into Wonderworld
Wow! I am so stoked to have made it to the $1,000 mark, this is really humbling. As a huge THANK YOU I am giving you a sneak peek into the book. I hope that you enjoy it as much as my sock monkey does. (Sock monkey is my official proofreader and gives me daily critiques).
Excerpt:
The room was made up of double items, attached together, but double no less. The left side of the coo coo-coo clock thought Luna looked rather splendid and hoped she stayed for a while, while the right side of the coo-coo-clock found her to be dreadfully annoying and wished she would leave. The seating chair was of two minds as well. The left side of the chair found Luna to be pleasant and hoped to make her comfortable, while the right side felt uneasy. The mirrors sides agreed with the coo-coo clock, respectively. While, though not wishing to involve itself in the conversation- the piano found itself at odds as well. Every item in the room seemed to be two minds about things and before they knew it were arguing with each other as if it would make a difference. While the entire room was in an uproar, Luna didn’t seem to notice.
“Why is there a party going on so late? I think I will never get sleep.” Luna sighed, sitting down in the chair to its dismay/delight.
