hello kind and supportive people: i have so much gratitude for the outpouring of boosts, shares, well-wishes, moral support and the generous contributions.
exceeding the goal by 30-freakin'-% not only covers the approx. 11% fees, but it shall enable me & Rose to do all the things (personal appearances, reviews, publicity, etc.) originally conceived and a few more yet-to-be-determined marketing schemes for the book.
i will start planning the first round of the mini-tour (NY, LA & SFO) as soon as indiegogo releases $ to me as well as planning on nice launch event here in the Twin Cities!
thank you my friends for all the encouragement and support: i look forward to seeing many of you in the coming months and relish the opportunity to read to you...
thank you all ever so much, Brian
