Hello everyone! :) This is a quick update to ask for anyone interested to give one last post for this Kickstarter! We have a bout 30 minutes left, and any tweets, Facebook posts, or anything else is EXTREMELY appreciated! :)
We're hoping to get closer to $70,000 so I can include more content in your copies. In this case it would be a Preview from Volume Two, depicting scenes from Hook's past! I'll do my best to include this preview anyway, but the closer to $70,000, the easier that will be.
Secondly, here is a black and white preview of the Christmas Peter Pan artwork that will be available IN COLOR for you backers to print and give to those who pre-ordered the book for Christmas gifts (there will be text on the final version to let them know). The recipient will also have a link to a site where they can see the same art/story updates you will receive!
If you'd like to add a second copy (or third, etc) of the book to your reward, you can either:
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUPPORTED US AND MADE THIS PROJECT A REALITY! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON! :)

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays to you all!! :)
I am incredibly happy to say that Peter Pan: Graphic Novel - Volume 1 will now for SURE happen, thanks to all of you!! :) I am completely honored by the support shown by everyone, whether you pledged or helped spread the work. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. It's been literally years since I started dreaming to work on this project, and now that I know it will happen.... well, it's one of the most amazing feelings :) I cannot wait to start!
I've been asked a few things, so here are answers!
I feel if we could get to $70,000 I would like to add a good size "preview" of the second graphic novel into everyone's copies of "Volume 1". This particular section would be about Captain's Hook, where he came from, and a glimpse into what drives him (and yes all the information came from J.M. Barrie!)
If we could get to $100,000 we could open up Volume 2 for purchase, but I understand that is probably just a dream! :)
Beyond that, If there's any funding left over, I'd like to make everyone's copies as nice as possible. Meaning I could try and do something special with the cover, or add something else special to the book itself. I'd like to make specialty mailers with artwork. It is my goal to make your rewards as nice for all of you as I can!
As we near the end of this campaign, it is incredibly important to get the word out, especially in the last 48 hours. So I would ask if there's anyone inclined to help spread the word I would be very grateful. This could be simple tweets, facebook posts, blog posts, Tumblr... anything you wish to use!
I've gotten a lot of message about adding different things to your pledges.
For those that already have a regular copy and want to add another book: I added "IT'S A GIFT" Reward at the $100 level that includes TWO physical copies of Volume 1 and the Companion Guide, as well as the Digital Versions.
If you have a specialty copy and want to add on a regular book: Please UP YOUR PLEDGE BY $35 ($50 for International) and send us this message " I have upped my pledge for a second copy of the book" so we can note your reward. I ask to send that message alone, with no other words so we can better keep track of who ordered what! :)
Want to add on anything else? Please message and ask! Remember that ALL REWARDS include the $1 tier so no need to add anything for that!
That's it for now! I'll be back tomorrow with artwork for the Christmas Peter Pan artwork that will be available to download for those wishing to give pre-orders of this book as a gift!
Thank all of you again! :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Here's a Never Bird for your enjoyment!
