We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

LEFT BEHIND is Now Available

Update #5 · Sep 30, 2012 · 2 comments

Dear Backers,

Some great news to share.  Although we did not reach our funding goal, I was still able to get my book -- Left Behind: Life and Death Along the U.S. Border -- published.

I am thrilled to also tell you that it's now available for purchase through B&N and Amazon.

If you would like to purchase a signed copy, please contact me at leftbehindbook@gmail.com.

Here are some photos of the book: http://bit.ly/VfiTN2

If you are near New York City, please come to the book launch at Printed Matter, Friday, October 19, 6-8 PM.

Thank you again for supporting my Kickstarter campaign. It has been an amazing experience.

Dear Backers,

Although we didn't reach our funding goal, this story still has a happy ending.  Instead of self-publishing, I'm in negotiation with a publisher in the U.K. to release a book this fall, which will be distributed in the U.S. and Europe.

In addition to your financial support, I've been deeply touched by all of the personal notes I've received, and by those who have shared on Facebook, and have Tweeted and re-Tweeted about my project. 

If you would like to be notified when the book becomes available, please send me your email (leftbehindbook@gmail.com) or connect with me on Facebook. Thank you again for all of your support!

All the best,

Jonathan Hollingsworth

Dear Backers,

Some very exciting news.  Kickstarter has chosen Left Behind as Project of the Day!

With one week left, there's still time for us to reach the funding goal, so in addition to your generous support, please share my project with your circle of friends.

Thank you again, and onward we go!

We Are On Our Way!

Update #1 · Feb 16, 2012 · 1 comment

Dear Backers,

First, a big THANK YOU for being among my earliest supporters for Left Behind!

Yesterday I issued a press release -- http://bit.ly/yLKBKJ -- which has increased the visibility of the project and brought more backers.  As of today, 25 backers have pledged $3,610.

Next Wednesday, February 22, CNN will sponsor a live debate for Republicans seeking the GOP presidential nomination, which will take place in Mesa, Arizona where illegal immigration will no doubt be a big topic.

Of course this project will only succeed with the support of folks like you. 

Please continue to help me spread the word about this project so we can bring it to fruition!

Jonathan
