Kickstarter

That’s a terrible title for a blog post, but it’s true, there are literally only a few hours left of Petra’s Kickstarter campaign. For those readers following in different time zones the campaign might have ended already. It’s been a wild and fun ride, and I’m looking forward to the dust settling, and sorting out all the rewards to send to backers.

Also, I just want to say a huge “thank you!” to all the backers who made this campaign a success. There’s some fun stories on the way that wouldn’t have seen the light if it wasn’t for you! 🙂

Some rewards have yet to be written – I’m looking at you short, personal stories. While some are in the last stages of proofing and publishing. Others will be delivered to inboxes this Christmas, while some are scheduled for early 2023.

Lots to do.

I’ll be right back …

Normal coverage of all things Greenland, books, and stories will resume after the last few hours of Petra’s Kickstarter campaign. 😉

If you’re wondering what it’s all about, and how you can pick up lots of books and stories, then this is the link for you!

This is the last week to check out Petra’s Kickstarter! Please share if you can, but don’t forget to have a look and see if there’s anything that makes you think ooh! That sounds fun!

It’s on the Kickstarter campaigns that I offer the chance to get in on the action and be written into a story with Petra, Maratse, or even Luui (although, that’s gone, folks!). If you choose to be a character in one of my Greenland stories, your name goes on the cover. 😉

Curious?

Check it out here.

I loved Finding Nemo, especially the tiny turtle prepping the fish to exit the Gulf Stream (I think). But when Dory did her just keep swimming, that kind of stuck. So much so, I wrote it on the back of Jane’s paddling vest, so when we paddled tandem in the kayak, with me paddling in the back, I knew what I had to do when the wind picked up and the icebergs calved: just keep paddling!

It’s a bit like Petra’s Kickstarter.

It’s always a gamble, and there are no guarantees, so there’s a chance it won’t fund, and then there’s the crazy stuff that happens towards the end which usually means anything can happen.

Right now we’re in the trough of the wave, swimming – or kicking, in this instance – to keep going.

If you have a chance to share the campaign on social media, that would be much appreciated. You can copy the link here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chrispaton/constable-petra-piitalaat-jensen

Or maybe just swim by and see what’s going on, and the fun things you can pick up. There’s lots of Greenland reading attached to the campaign – books to pledge for and to get for free as stretch rewards if we get that far.

Just keep kicking…

Well, this is crazy! You might have noticed, I’ve got a Kickstarter Campaign running at the moment. No spoilers, but magic is definitely involved! The campaign has stretch goals, and if it funds all backers at the basic level get free books. At the very highest level, all backers at the basic level will get a free copy of the fictional biography Tuukula: A Shaman’s Life.

Curious? Want to know how you can get Tuukula? Feel free to check out the campaign.

Keep an eye on the main page for updates on the campaign progress!

I’ve been busy with schoolwork and needed to give Petra’s Kickstarter Campaign some TLC. 🙂 I needed more fun rewards (and to get rid of some of the stranger ones!). So I’ve added some SRU stories, and if you want to get in on the action (i.e. BE a character) this is your chance. Here’s the blurb from the campaign:

Ever wanted to try out for the Greenland Special Response Unit? Or maybe just gossip with Constable Atii Napa? Admire Sergeant Gaba Alatak’s manscaping? Take a spin on the winter roads with Petra’s nemesis: Sergeant ‘Jowls’ Duneq? Or unwind after a mission on the dance floor of Nuuk’s insanely popular nightclub: Mattak?

Now’s your chance to get in on the action with these cheaper and shorter short stories (2,500 words/10 paperback pages) featuring YOU alongside the SRU!

The covers will be revealed later and the stories will be delivered in December. Christmas gift, maybe? 😉

If you have questions, be sure to drop me a line, or use the comments below. But be sure to check out the campaign if you think this sounds like fun!
