The Hourglass is now 100% funded. Many, many thanks to all of you who helped me reach my target. Look out for further postings.

Many, many thanks to everyone who has pledged support so far. You’ve brought me to 91% of my target, with 111 backers. I’m hoping it won’t be too long now before I reach the total for The Hourglass to be published. Just 9% to go.

My very grateful thanks to those of you who have pledged support since my last update. I’ve now reached 81% of my target for The Hourglass to be published, with 98 supporters. It’s great to have unfamiliar names sign up as well as the swelling numbers of those I know. Some have rallied their friends and colleagues. Thank you to all of you. And more please.

A big thank you to all of you who’ve supported The Hourglass and taken it to 68% so far. I haven’t posted any updates until now since I’ve been able to thank most of you individually, but there are several names for which I have no contact details, so this is a message for those of you to whom I am a stranger. It’s particularly touching to have support from people I don’t know at all. Thank you again…
