We got there! Thanks to the generosity of my supporters Bera will definitely be Unbound - with the author in one piece due to the warmth and kindness of so many people. But although the train's on track, there are more seats waiting to be filled and ... OK, enough train metaphor.
I promise to stop Shed post bombardment apart from updates about what stage the book is at: but first an appeal to share the good news with your own network. The big thing I've learnt is that it's impossible to predict who will or won't pledge. And the photo? It's not my first book: that was bloodthirsty wolf action with indecipherable spelling and a drawing of a fur ball with teeth. This was my first mediated publication. A little tamer - but clearly I'd never seen a real train, either. I love the driver's psychopathic expression!
