We are 93% funded for Into the Mouth of the Lion! Help us get over the finish line by 31 October!

Thank you so much for supporting Into the Mouth of the Lion so far. It means so much to me that you believe in the book as much as I do. I am so moved that friends, family, colleagues and strangers have put their faith in a book you haven’t read yet… and I promise it won’t disappoint you.

It’s an amazing feeling to have this support from all over the world. I’ve heard from you lovely people as far away as Johannesburg, Amsterdam, San Diego, Montreal, Paris, Kampala and Yangon. It’s incredible and I can’t thank you enough for helping me make this happen.

Could you do me a favour? Could you share this email or the link ( https://unbound.com/books/into-the-mouth-of-the-lion/) with anyone you know who might be interested in this kind of book? If you know a fiction-lover, or someone who has lived or travelled overseas, perhaps worked abroad, sharing an interest in photography, interesting landscapes and a good story with a fast-moving plot, could you tell them about this book before the end of October?

If you could share the book on Facebook or other places on social media, I have no doubt that we’ll reach 100% by the end of the month. That would be amazing!

And something for you in return: if you do succeed in recommending the book to someone, and they go ahead and support the book, I will email you a reward. Just send your names and email, and the other supporter’s details if you have their permission, to abkwriting[at]gmail[dot]com. I will choose a short story to share with both of you, that hopefully will make you smile.

Or maybe you might feel like you want something more from this project? For example, if you’d like to hold a paperback in your hands, but you initially pledged digital? Or you told your mum about it, and she suddenly needs a copy too?

You can upgrade or add to your pledge easily. Have a look at the choices for group discounts, photographs, a photography lesson or a manuscript review, if that’s what might interest you. Just go to your account link (once you’ve signed in) on the Unbound page, find Into the Mouth of the Lion, and go to “manage project.” There you can add a donation or choose from a number of prizes.

Thanks so much for believing in the book and helping to make it happen.

All my best wishes,

ABK
