We're fully funded (102% as I'm writing this)! It feels so good, and so surreal.
I'm not going to lie, in the middle of the month when we hit the infamous "Kickstarter plateau" that $5k goal seemed miles away, but I have been so full of joy and gratitude for the many folks who found out about our project and have backed it.
As a special treat, enjoy two new finished pieces of art designed by the amazingly talented Hogan Seidel. These art pieces will be featured at the headers of some select stories in the book for both print versions.
There is still time to pledge if you want to get in on a copy of the book - please do! Notably, we still have some slots available for the limited hardcover we're printing exclusively for the Kickstarter, with cover art designed by Hogan as well. It has been great to see how many folks have supported at that level to get that ultra-exclusive reward.
All I can say is thank you for all of your support. Now the work begins!

Thank you so much to all of the folks who have backed the project thus far! We've been so touched and honored by the support that has gotten us here, well over 50% of the way toward our goal, with a few weeks remaining.
We have some regular updates planned during the fundraising, with more to come once we get underway in getting books into your hands. For now, we mainly want to say thank you, and remind those of you who are eyeing our page but haven't picked a tier yet that we still have about half of our LIMITED EDITION hardcover copies unclaimed.
As a further thanks, and because it was promised on social media, we're releasing a curated playlist inspired by the book. If you're the kind of person who can listen to music while reading, save this thing for a great soundtrack while reading WYOMING. I think it would also make a killer road trip playlist for a road trip full of chance encounters and...eccentric...roadside attractions. Check it out here. I personally recommend putting it on shuffle to really get into a non-linear mindset (and just for the chaos of it).
We'd love any help we can get to get us over the finish line, please feel to share our page on social media or, better yet, write about it on a postcard and mail it! More exciting updates are on the way, stay tuned.
Many thanks again,
Jamie
