I have some very good news to report: Thanks to the generosity of my fans,
I have now raised enough money to print the first Vögelein Trade Paperback!

In just over a month, you guys helped me raise the money I needed to go to press —
the money I couldn’t get from the Xeric — and made it so I didn’t have to take out a
credit card or a loan from my already-strapped family.

I can’t tell you how much this means to me; how willing the community was to extend a
helping hand to an Indie creator. We saw it happen last year with the Hail-Mary ressurection
of Top Shelf, but this kind of response is overwhelming. I can’t thank you guys enough for
all the moral support, as well as the financial.

Now that this burden is off my shoulders, I can get back to doing what needs to be done:
Getting the book out and in your hands! I’m about 2/3rds of the way through, and the main
work will be just compiling the big new Quark Document and writing the endnotes.

It should be soliciting in the August Previews, for shipping to stores in October.
It will be available sooner in stores in Michigan, and from my web site. With bonny good
luck, I should have them on hand for APE. I won’t be taking any more pre-orders after
tonight, as I need to ensure that I can get the ones I’ve already taken out to people
in a timely manner.

Thank you all again — without this community, and all its support, I would never have
finished the Vögelein series.
