Having dedicated over three months working on this Kickstarter – designing the Kickstarter story, designing and sourcing merchandise and balancing the cost for delivery – I have found that it is not possible to run a Kickstarter for this book without making substantial losses. And so, with regret, I have no choice but to discontinue this fund raiser.
The big problem is that I have been seeking to raise funds for my project, to complete and publish my novel, but Kickstarter is unfortunately aimed as providing a market for selling products that are already funded. The cost of the project, promotion and the production of products for Kickstarter customers mitigates any attempt to raise funds.
However, I have since sought means to get my novel ready for publication and so now hope to be able to do this in the second half of 2026. Your support is still very important, as my work is worth nothing if people do not enjoy it, and if no one buys it then I cannot continue.
Thank you for your support,
John Thompson
