Great news: we reached our goal with 24 hours to spare! A thousand thanks to all of you who helped us. If we go more than $1,000 over our goal, I'll do an audiobook edition (there are those who see me as the David Attenborough of the written word!)... (Read More)
The good news, and the other kind, and a lot of moonlight
November 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Thanks to you, the good news is that we're inching closer and closer to our goal, which is now so close we can see its glow reflected on the undersides of the clouds on the horizon. (This lyrical metaphor is brought to you by the fact that I just... (Read More)
Dharma, twice
November 6th - via: kickstarter.com

Sneak preview
November 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Well, I couldn't have asked for more than you are collectively doing for this campaign. It's so touching to see those of you who have supported the Alphabets for years, in some cases since our very first Kickstarter; and it's more than heartening to... (Read More)
The Night Watch
October 27th - via: kickstarter.com
In medieval England, or so I've been told, towns would employ a watchman to walk the streets at night calling out the hour and the civic status: "Two o'clock, and all's well!" (Or, presumably, "Two o'clock and here comes the plague/the Scots/the... (Read More)
Ten days in!
October 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Well, thanks to you we have a solid platform as we head into the second of three ten-day stretches. You've given us excellent support, and also great ideas for additional rewards--keep them coming! The second ten days are usually the toughest and... (Read More)
