Well, not quite two weeks into the Kickstarter project and we've reached (and even started to exceed) our goal!  This means that the project will indeed fund come November 13 and we will proceed quickly with the necessary steps to publish.  Because the goal was met so quickly - and because we are now assured funding - we're comfortable spending a little money now to expedite the process and ensure that the hardcover edition goes out along with the paperback.  This should hopefully put the book into the hands of all our backers just in time for the holidays!

I've also gotten word from our cover artist, Maarta (http://mlaiho.daportfolio.com/), that the finished version of the cover art should be available tomorrow, and we'll get to make some font selections to get it all wrapped up.  We're also talking about some fun ideas for potential stretch goals for the Kickstarter project, and also to get the website rolling.  Blogspot has worked as a platform for the project thus far but we're soon to outgrow it and begin transitioning to a standalone website.

Things will begin moving quickly over the next few weeks.  I've been using the Kickstarter page as a sort of surrogate blog but I'll try to avoid that temptation and keep things more updated here in the meantime!
