I've had quite a few people tell me they'd like to contribute somehow to my efforts, since most of you find my books online for free!  So, I started a project on Kickstarter, a website that allows artists and others to post projects and request that others donate as little as $1 to the project.  The project I posted: Katie's Hope, sequel to Katie's Hellion.  (Click here for more info.)

I set the goal price for the project at $250, which would cover half-ish of my costs.  Each book I release costs me between $400-500 to produce and market, and I am not yet able to make back my investment off my Amazon sales.  Which is fine – I expected this to happen this year, so my hubby and I planned for this.  Being a writer is my dream, and my dream costs me between 400-500 a month.  I'd pay a zillion (assuming I had a zillion to pay!)

For those in the writing business, you know this is INSANELY DIRT CHEAP.  This includes my editing, cover and marketing.  My editor and cover artist work for much less than their counterparts, which is good for me, but probably not so good for them, though I've promised them both raises in a few months!

If you'd like to donate, please click here.  I've included a rewards structure for each donation.  It's not a creative rewards structure, but I can modify that for the next project, if this does work! 

Disclosure: I'M WRITING "KATIE'S HOPE" WHETHER OR NOT THIS GETS FUNDED, so nobody need fear that I'm holding the book hostage.  This is just a means to defer the cost!  You will get your Rhyn-and-Katie fix … don't worry!  Haha!
