Well, it was uphill all the way for our first stretch goal, if by “uphill all the way” we mean up and down and up again; but we finally made it, and we’ve got just over a week left to hit the second stretch goal.<\/p>\n

If we get there, this is what happens: I have the funds to arrange a Kirkus Indie<\/em> review; and everybody who pledged over $50 will get a memo notebook with the Patently Absurd<\/em> cover art on its own cover. These are nice little notebooks, as I can tell you from my personal scribbling experience.<\/p>\n\"Stretch<\/a>\n

It’s a harder goal to reach<\/a>, at $1900, but we may have the urgency of the project’s end on our side. It’s coming up!<\/p>\n

So if you have friends or if you see strangers who might like the book, this is the time to tell them all about it wherever you find them: on Facebook or Twitter, or at your own blog, or at GoodReads or LibraryThing or, in fact, anyplace at all.<\/p>\n

It’s the larger pledges that will benefit from this stretch reward, so I’ve added a new set of ten “Collector II” rewards at $65. They’re just like the original Collector rewards except that they cost a bit more. That’s so you early adopters have a reason to look smug. If you need one, I mean.<\/p>\n

(For the rest of you, that $65 gets you a signed, printed advance copy of Patently Absurd<\/em>; a matching eBook of the same; an eBook edition of The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em>; a pair of custom bookmarks; and a signed hardcover copy of Slaves of the Switchboard of Doom<\/em>; plus a memo notebook, if we hit the second stretch goal.)<\/p>\n

In other news, today I should see my third proof copy of the book. The last one was pretty great, but I’m still fiddling with color profiles for the cover.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
