Lots of folks have been terrific about sharing this campaign to publish Beside the Pond: A Big Old Garden Story, and telling about the laughter and enjoyment A Year in the Big Old Garden (book 1) has brought to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you — and now is the time for a strong final push!
All the funds from this Kickstarter campaign are going to pay our brilliant team of artists, layout designer, and recording artist, and we took the brave step of setting a goal that will pay for publication in paperback, e-book, and audiobook all at once, because we believe this story will shine in all those formats.
(Ok, a little of the money will also go to printing stickers and some art prints for Kickstarter backers, but I don’t think any of the backers will mind. 😉
Because of how Kickstarter works, we have to hit our funding goal, or we won’t receive any of the pledges from all the many people who are already excited to get their copy. So if you’ve been planning to back the creation of this book–or planning to check it out and decide–don’t wait any longer! Now is your hour to act! Strike a blow for goodness, and beauty, and very, very small bullfrogs.
And just a reminder – besides an introductory video to tell about the publishing project, the Kickstarter page also has a of the audiobook reading for chapter 1 of Beside the Pond, which you can enjoy right now!
All the best,
~ James
