Thank you for your amazing support!

Wow! I reached my funding goals in the first day! Here’s me and my sisters looking surprised in an outtake of our dramatic reenactment of hearing the good news.

I think we can all agree that it’s a fine line between looking surprised and looking horrified.

I’m truly touched by the outpouring of support for my book and Team Gleason. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and generosity, not to mention the speed with which you responded. You are amazing!

Since we zoomed past my overly-cautious Kickstarter goal, I’m seriously curious to see how wide an audience my book can reach. If you haven't already, it's a great time to grab your own copy. We can print as many copies of Invention Is a Mother as you order!

Thank you especially for your generous support of my Team Gleason fundraiser! It goes without saying that people living with ALS will benefit from all donations to Team Gleason, regardless of my initial goal.

Alessandor (my editor and fundraising collaborator) says that if we can reach $5000 on Kickstarter and $6000 for Team Gleason, she'll film herself doing something embarrassing a la the Ice Bucket Challenge. I’m taking suggestions.

And just a reminder that if you donate at least $100 to Team Gleason and preorder a book, I’ll list your name in the book’s acknowledgments.

Thank you once again! It’s incredibly exciting for me to see this project bloom.
