Update #15: Rewards are coming together
Hello LOU fans. I wanted to update you on the progress with the rewards. I and my elfin assistant Nicki are getting things together, and will soon be mailing the various rewards out to you. Sorry for the delay, but my author book copies came right before my tour dates in NY- had no time to get this together. Hopefully we will get it all out before I hit the road again this coming tuesday- 2 weeks on the road driving the west coast, talking Lou. Check my website for dates and locations; hope some of you can make one!
The first four events were very successful; NYC, Sag Harbor, and two in Seattle. The event at Third Place Books here at home was wild- nearly a hundred people came... the store sold out of books.
I will be emailing some of you today or tomorrow, as I do not have snail mail addresses for all of you...
Rower,
DUNO
Update #14: Rewards for all of you!
Hi everyone. Again, thanks so much for helping me with this. I need you to now email me your shipping address, so that I can get your rewards to you. and for those who decided not to accept any rewards, I'd still like to send you a card, so please, let me have your address! Please send your info to steve@steveduno.com and I (and my elfin minions) will get the rewards together as soon as we can and send them out. I have not received my author copies of LAST DOG yet, so please be patient; you may not get them until after the publication date... sorry. And the Lou calendar is being designed as we speak... patience!
BTW- I may be going on a Canadian national TV show in late July- "The Standard," out of Vancouver, hosted by Peter Klein, a former producer for 60 Minutes. That's good!
Update #13: Uncle Tony
So, just a while ago I decided to post some pics on Facebook, of my dad and my Uncle Tony, in honor of their WWII service... after I did so, I checked to see if if anyone else had pledged to my Kickstarter project, which ends tomorrow (successfuly, thanks to all of you). And what do I find? a $100 pledge from Uncle Tony, who I have not been in contact with for a good while...Thanks Uncle T.
There is something about LAST DOG ON THE HILL... something.
Update #12: Rewards
Hey. Just to let you know, I will be getting together the rewards packages as soon as I can, including signed books, bookmarks, calendars, photos, etc. The project does not end until 5/31, and then the funds take an additional 2-3 weeks to process through Kickstarter and Amazon. And I have not yet received my author book copies from the publisher yet. So please be patient. i will also start work on the extra chapter of the book for all of you... I cannot tell you how thankful I am... You have made it possible for me to do a book tour, begin a trailer video, and push PR for the book. Now all I ask is for you all to come to a reading in your area. Keep watching the events tab on my site www.steveduno.com for info on events...
Update #11: VICTORY
Didn't think it would happen (because I'm a NY skeptic?) but... VICTORY! 48 of you have given me a chance to take Lou's book, LAST DOG ON THE HILL, and bring to to the public, go on a decent book tour, and increase my promotional footprint. THANK YOU!!

Project By
Connected as Steve Duno (2154 friends)
The author of eighteen books, Steve Duno has also been a pet behaviorist for twenty years. He started his career on a hill in Mendocino CA in 1989 when he found Lou, the best dog he has ever known, a hero who, starting life as the feral offspring of guard dogs on a marijuana grow, went on to capture rapists, foil armed robberies, save Steve's life twice, win him a life-changing job, save the lives of hundreds of dogs, teach sign language to kids, and so much more. Look for Steve's memoir, LAST DOG ON THE HILL: The Extraordinary Life of Lou (St. Martin's Press 2010) in June.
