Matt Frock is launching his new book on "Kickstarter!" ONLY 20 DAYS LEFT TO HELP FUND THIS PROJECT!!!

Hello Friends, Family & Colleagues,
After four years of rewarding hard work, Matt Frock (my awesome husband) has written and illustrated Love Squared, a lovingly crafted work of fiction told in words and pictures for ages nine to ninety.

He is trying to raise the initial costs of running a first edition printing through "Kickstarter." Please consider visiting the link & supporting this wonderful project through your pledge/purchase of a signed, first edition copy of the book, or consider some of the other pledge options including original art works offered as rewards for your gracious support.

There are only 20 days left to fund this project!!!
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES CLOSE MARCH 3rd!

Please check out Matt's Kickstarter book launch HERE!

WHAT IS KICKSTARTER???

Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.

A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.

All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you. Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!

VALENTINES DAY IS ALMOST HERE!

What could possibly be a better gift than a book about falling in Love & saving the world! Supporting a great project on Kickstarter is heartwarming. A good deed, indeed! For a generous & loving pledge of 25$, you will receive a copy of “Love Squared” signed with a message from the author. (my awesome husband Matt Frock) 

Can you buy multiple books? 
Hecks yes!
Just add $20 to any pledge for an extra book! 
Happy Love Day!!!
(Feel Free to share the Love2 with friends!)
Thank you so much for your consideration!
xx
