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

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 31, 2012.

$1 Here, Another $1 There...

Update #18 · May 30, 2012 · comment

So, unless my fairy godmother shows up in the next 35 hours, I don't think one individual alone is going to donate the remaining $1,709 left of this Kickstarter. BUT...what if a bunch of people gave just $1??? That seems possible to me. So, today, share this link with your networks and urge everyone you know to give just $1. 

One little dollar and we can make this thing happen. One dollar, and they can be part of something positive and heartwarming and (I hope) a novel that does good in the world by not only entertaining but also enlightening and encouraging readers.

$1 from all of our Facebook and Twitter networks and co-workers and bosses and family and friends (that's like 300 contacts at $1 for each of us X 42 backers which would equal $12,600, right? How about only 41 contacts at $1 each  X 42 backers = $1722???)

Let's do this!
