Congratulations!!! Wow! I can't wait to see what else happens with your campaign!

Dear Readers,

You amazing, fantastic, beautiful humans!!! WE DID IT!!!!! WE DID IT IN 3 DAYS!!!!!! Do you know how wonderful you are? You made my dream come true today, and I am grateful beyond measure!

Today is a day of great hope. There have been far too many times in my life, and in yours I'm sure, where others have told you that my dream was impossible.  That I weren't smart enough, strong enough or good enough for my dream to come to fruition.  It happened to me while I was healing after this accident, it happened while I was pitching this book - and both times I considered giving up.  But luckily, somewhere inside of me there was this well of hope that wouldn't let me give up - and here I am living, walking and going to publish a book! 

Please take a good hard look at what happened over the last three days, and know in your heart that no matter what anyone else says - there is always hope. 

Also, if you have a minute, can you give yourself the BIGGEST hug. The hug is from me, and make it a good one, because I REALLY mean it.

Love,

Katie

Incredible feat to reach the funding cap so quickly and I hope many more pre-orders to come!

@Joseph Terzieva you are so kind! I am really lucky, and have a really outstanding network of friends and family who have been beyond generous! I will absolutely share what I did, and hopefully it will be somewhat helpful! I didn't even realize there was an author forum thank you so much for sharing!

What an incredible pace for orders. Maybe when your campaign is over you can hop over to the Inkshares forum and give authors some pointer on how to be an incredible success?

Holy. Moly. You wonderful, generous readers! Thank you so much for taking the time to read, comment, and purchase How to Get Run Over by a Truck! With your incredible support we have been able to pre-sell 375 copies of this memoir in less than 36 hours! 

Although I am over the moon about the number of copies that have sold, what I am even more moved by is the number of you who have reached out to share your own "truck" story. Many of you have told me that the first chapter spoke to you, inspired you and even made you feel less alone.  I am so grateful for your generosity of spirit, and for believing in this project, and in me!  With your support, I know that we will achieve the goal of 750 pre-sales! 

Thank you so much! This has been an incredible 36 hours, and its all because of you!! 

Heart,

Katie

@Elana Davis I am very honored that this rang true for you as a trauma nurse, and also honestly thank you so much for the work that you do! I can't even imagine how hard your job is.  I would have loved those blankets, and OH MAN would I have loved those pain meds. I am not sure why he didn't give me any medication, but I absolutely agree - so strange! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and to comment!
