Project FAQ
Sometime after March 1, 2026. The book is written. I have some minor revisions and then it's headed to the editor later this year. I will keep you posted. Books take a while. Time table: ebooks are first to be delivered (you can start reading while you wait for your books!) paperbacks case laminates clothbound
Shipping is NOT included in the price you're pledging. Shipping will come later when I'm ready to ship. You'll send me your address in a post-funding survey. I'll determine shipping costs and let you know. I will be drop-shipping paperbacks to CA, UK and AUS. Those won't be signed, but it will save you so much money in shipping. I can also give you a quote for other shipping if you contact me.
I added "benevolent" tiers this year. If you'd like to help me purchase items for signings, I have a couple of add-ons that will allow you to help me get ahead in my business.
StoryCon will be the last weekend of February at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. If you order a paperback, I should have those ready for StoryCon 2026 if you would like to save on shipping. I will leave that as an option.
Yes! Storymakers is in Provo and the third weekend in May if you want to wait until then, you can pick it up. The signing will be OPEN to the public this year!
I offer amazing and fun products and benefit. Although rewards aren't guaranteed, there's a lot of fun being able to acquire one of a kind things.

BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
