    Putting 5 Books in Print!

    Hey everyone, I'm doing a brand new Kickstarter, the one I've been waiting to do forever. Its been a long time coming, and its less commercial than my last one so I'd really appreciate any support you can give towards this Kickstarter.

    I'll be putting five books into print, all written by me, with a different artist doing the cover of each book, including my "Eloquence of Time and Space" collaborator Olivia Hinkel, and my "Cascade" collaborator Emily Hempstead! Yi Shi, William Pruitt, and Kala Farineau are joining me for the first time for the other three books.

    This Kickstarter will be putting into print:
    Cryptos: My first full length play, produced at Hanover College in 2011, about a Cryptozoologist searching for a legendary monster in a distant cult town that has been stealing children...
    One Act Septology: A collection of my short plays, including "Rex Stout Rings Again!", "Butterfly Machinery", and "The Tragedy of Hilarius, a Comedy".
    God Save the Pres.!: An Unproduced play about a girl in Colonial America sent forward in time to the present day, where she runs for President since she is technically 200 years old.
    The Dark and Splendid Diary of Danielle Simpson and Other Tales: A collection of short stories, featuring my first Novella, about a girl dealing with her pain through stories.
    Death and Doubling Cubes: My first Novel, about a boy in the future who is fighting a monster that steals people's memories.

    You can find it at the link below! Please consider pledging, or sharing with your friends.

    I added some cool new stuff!!!

    First off, if you have $1, anywhere in the world, you can now contribute and get something for it!

    The $1 Story!

    Everyone who backs at any level with this Kickstarter, even for just a dollar gets the chance to chose a word which will be used as part of a story that will be written and included in the print edition of "The Dark and Splendid Diary of Danielle Simpson" and posted as an update for all backers to read! To participate you just need to back this project, and you're all signed up to give me the weirdest word you can!

    Also, I added a $250 dollar level where you can get all five books signed, anywhere in the world, and get a short story written for you about whatever you want! (you also get to chose a word, as everyone does if they back the project now).

    Also, I'm doing a video series to promote the Kickstarter.

    Kayla Snabl from the play's Original Cast of "Cryptos" recaps the play (spoilers!):

      RIP

      I have never been across the way
      Seen the desert and the birds
      You cut your hair short
      Like a shush to an insult
      The world had been yelling
      Since the day you were born
      Revolting with anger
      While it smiled like it was cute
      That everything was shit.

        I shall never give up on your patronage then XD! But seriously, I'd love some support. I know how these projects work and there are a lot of people waiting around to back it till someone else does, essentially. So whenever you're able to, anything would be great.

        This is my dream project here, and even a dollar ups the backer count and gets me closer to maybe becoming a Staff Pick, which would make the project as well.

          Good luck as always Malflick I may have to donate if I can figure out how this works. To this day I can't figure out Paypal, I usually get my stepson to do all that.

          On Canada's fair domain.
          Here may it wave,
          Our boast, our pride
          And joined in love together,

            Thanks Doc! I hope you get the chance to! If you've ordered something off Amazon you shouldn't have too much trouble as Amazon owns Kickstarter so it uses the say pay service.

            I hope you figure things out.

            And sorry about the high international shipping-- blame the USPS.
