I hope you're not sick of the updates yet, because this one is HUGE!
We cleared 10k, which means...
We did it! We've unlocked AUDIOBOOK PRODUCTION! 🎧📖, clearing our Second Stretch Goal. And all in ONE WEEK!
I'm humbled and so excited that Westville will be coming straight to the ears of many via Audiobook.
And clearing that means we are onwards and upwards to our next goal...
A BONUS Hardcover Novella featuring private investigator Dana Reeves:
'POLARITY'
I mentioned this in the video on the campaign story breaking down the Stretch Goals, but man you guys... I have to say that writing Dana and this story has been some of the most fun I've had as a writer.
Think female Jack Reacher set in the early 90s, with a healthy does of wry wit and a psychokinetic traveler in her mind, as she searches for clues to lead her to her brother who disappeared years prior.
You'll meet her in 'Welcome to Westville', but this is a prequel set six years prior to the events of Book 1, and though it's a shorter book, covers a lot more ground than the little town of Westville, from Minnesota to Alaska and elsewhere.
Because I just really want to get this extra story in your hands...
I'm adjusting this STRETCH GOAL to $12,500.
Check out the restructured Stretch Goals below, along with a fun opportunity to be able to 'choose your own adventure' as it were, on the next one!
