LESS THAN THREE HOURS and we'll be SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED & DONE!

Thanks again to all of you!

There's still time to change your pledge amount, if you want to go higher ;) or to remind your friends to participate!

Best,

We're almost at the finish line, just 10 more hours! 

Just so you are aware, a lot of projects you might back here on Kickstarter are close to finished or are in fact done. Others, however, are just getting started. This is one of them.

You will receive some updates from me in a few months alerting you that it's time to enter/verify your shipping address, etc. Your information will ultimately be processed through BackerKit, who are, effectively, a partner on this campaign. They will ensure that the items you pledged for get delivered and, should you run into any problems, they'll help troubleshoot and get your items to you. Of course, I'll be also participating in all that as well — it is not an automated process, but real people (including me).

New Level Reminder

In case you didn't notice, a week ago I added a new rewards/pledge category. For a $20 pledge, you can get ALL of the available ebooks for City At My Feet: 

• the novel
• the prequel novella, and 
• the short stories. 

If you want to change your pledge level just go to the project page and click “Manage your pledge” button (it's right  beside the amount you  pledged; note that there might be a slight delay  before the button appears). Then, on the page that displays next, just  click “Change your pledge” and take it from there.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE, THIS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS! 

10 MORE HOURS & WE ARE DONE!

Third stretch goal and reward announcement
about 5 years ago – Thu, Apr 25, 2019 at 11:37:40 AM

Hi all,

Thanks again for all your support. 

We are coming down to the wire of this very successful campaign, so as encouragement I wanted to announce one additional stretch goal:

Sakima's Cuff Poster

If we reach $1,250 before 8 PM Sunday (Eastern Time), when the campaign comes to a close, all backers get a technical illustration of Sakima's cuff. Here's my sketch:

I will be hiring an illustrator and work with him or her will turn my sketch into something like the example below. (Note: You are NOT receiving a light saber drawing, just to be clear :D). It will be a professionally-rendered technical illustration, complete with call-outs on design and functionality, and printed on art-quality paper.

The final illustration will reflect how Sakima's cuff really is in the novel, when I'm completely done. Right now, the above sketch is how it looks in the book (and in my mind). 

Please tweet and post on any and all of your favorite social media platforms to help get the word out! 

Here's the shortened link:http://bit.ly/kickstrtCITY

Thank you all very much, again.

Best regards,

Hi all,

I thought you'd like to know — since you were all so wonderful to support a novel that was not yet written — that today I surpassed the 25,000 word mark on CITY AT MY FEET! 

I'll update you again as we near the end of this campaign with the word count at that time. 

In the meantime, if you would kindly do me the favor of sharing my campaign on your social media accounts, I would sure appreciate it. Here's the quick and short bitly link: http://bit.ly/kickstrtCITY

Thank you once again.

Best,

Thomas
