Just $8 shy of $800 - a much better margin than 80¢ per copy…
We have 14 hours to make it happen!

16 hours left to back To Love Like Venus. I'm just $8 bucks away to make the $800 mark. How about that for a stretch goal challenge? Join in before the campaign ends soon and with it discounts.

Thank you to those who backed. I see you and appreciate you.

also this is a new feature on Kickstarter I just discovered. You can shop Superbackers! These are the folks who are regularly backing projects on the platform. Give it a look. Maybe it's been there, but I just noticed.

discounted reward tiers end with the campaign, so in case you were on the fence. Give Venus another look.

2 days left!

This book requires a trip to Venus, which means risk of immense heat, crushing pressure, and the risk of getting burned. Did we mention this is the planet of love?

A canceled pledge, so you know that means: room for someone new to join!

Day 3 of New York Comic Con, and 3 Days left to back To Love Like Venus!

If you see artists with a live Kickstarter campaign at #NYCC, do consider giving them a back like I did at Writer's Block. You need Warrior energy to market a non-visible-yet book.
