Thank you for your support--my political mystery novel One Murder More will soon be on its way to you! $13,330 raised, truly amazing. But with only 11 days to go it will take $2,320  to make goal, or all the funds go away. Asking one person you know to  back the book, posting the link on FB, or  donating a little more if you feel in a position to do so may make the difference. Thank you so much--I  will never, ever, forget the help you have given me. Sincerely, Kris   https://www.inkshares.com/projects/one-murder-more

ps Please email me if you would like to receive the first three chapters now, in advance of publication. (Only available to backers...) kcalvinhome@gmail.com

One month left to the close of my crowdsourcing campaign and I'm happy to report that 125 backers, (including you!) have raised $9,455 to bring One Murder More to publication. Your generosity has been overwhelming--thank you! It seems it won't be long now before you receive your copy of the book in the mail or sent to you via download. But for that to become a reality, I have to reach my funding goal of $15,650--a little over $6,000 to go. If you are willing to share this link on FB or Twitter or to ask a friend to take a look at the project, it could make the difference in getting there! In any case, thank you so much for what you have done already, I will never forget your help--Kris https://www.inkshares.com/projects/one-murder-more

Hooray!! 

I've reached 100 backers  via Inksharesfor my book One Murder More! Thank you for your generous support! That said, I still have  a ways to go to meet my goal, necessary to see publication this summer. You can help  a great deal by asking one friend or family member to join you in advance-purchasing my book.  Note that an individual  request from you will do more than any blast or post that I can initiate. So if you possibly can, please think of that one person (someone who reads mystery novels, likes politics or is simply generous of spirit?) and ask them to be part of this "virtual book launch"! 

 In any case, thanks for everything,  you're helping  to break ground on  a new way to publish!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Only 3 weeks into crowdsourcing through Inkshares and thanks to you I'm nearly 40% of goal with 90 backers! If you are able to share this link on FB or Twitter, that will be a huge help in getting the rest of the way there. https://www.inkshares.com/projects/one-murder-more Also, I want to congratulate Jerilyn Schmidt, the winner of the first random drawing among backers of One Murder More. Jerilyn will receive a $50 Amazon gift card! (There will be a drawing monthly until we reach goal--I'll keep you posted.) At this rate, it won't be long until One Murder More: A Maren Kane Mystery is on Kindle and in bookstores! You are the best--Kris

Thank you so much for your support! Things  are progressing  well--ONE MURDER MORE  is 22% funded in  only  a week! But now it gets a little harder since I've asked the people I know well --I'm so honored  that so many of you came  through. Now  the publishers will put in money of their own for every backer I get in the next 72 hours, so I'm working hard on that goal. If you can think of one friend or family member who enjoys mystery novels, likes politics  or might just want to help an aspiring author, please consider sharing the ONE MURDER MORE link  with them.  But  in any case, what you have already done has meant so much, thank you, thank you!!!
