Our campaign has come to an exciting end! We thank all our wonderful supporters for joining us on our very first Kickstarter campaign. We've learned a lot and had a load of fun. We'll be using Backerkit to send out the rewards and surveys, so make sure you look for an email from them when the time comes.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in us and making this happen. 

This is it! The final day!

The final hours are upon us. We are giddy with excitement! And eager to send all our supporters their rewards as soon as the book has been returned from our graphic designer.

We didn't meet the Stretch Goal objectives we had planned, so instead of a physical poster, we're going to add a digital poster (12 x 18) to the $100 and higher tiers. You can print out this high-res image at places such as Walgreens and Walmart and other places that provide this kind of service. 

One More Day!

This campaign has sped by. It ends tomorrow at 9 p.m. Eastern time. I've learned so much and have enjoyed the experience. I look forward to many more to come. :)

Before we wrap this one up, I'd like to share an awesome campaign. One I think you'll enjoy as well. This one was so cool that I backed it right away. So much spooky fun!

Eerie Ghosts and Vampires of the New Orleans French Quarter

An exclusive pair of spooky, self-guided tours created by two Big Easy storytellers. In ebook, print, and audio. Enjoyable anywhere!

Do you love ghost stories?

Do vampires intrigue you?

Are you curious about New Orleans and her haunted past?

If so, then our project – The Dark Side of New Orleans– is right up your alley!

One Halloween, my husband, Dan, and I decided to join a nighttime ghost tour through the legendary New Orleans French Quarter. Although we appreciated the theatrical enthusiasm of our tour guide and relished strolling through the historic streets of our neighborhood, listening to assorted tales of tragic hauntings, the experience ultimately let us down.

The unwieldy size of our group made it tough for us to hear the guide and, worse, kept us from immersing ourselves in the haunting ambience of the city’s oldest district.

In search of a more riveting, less restrictive experience, we decided to create an affordable, self-guided excursion of our own, one that would blend our love of scary stories and our fervor for New Orleans with our desire for autonomy.

Eventually, we produced two self-guided audio tours of the French Quarter – In the Footsteps of Ghosts (featuring 15 spooky locales) and Strolling Among Vampires (one nocturnal bloodsucker’s first-person account of 11 riveting sites). Together, they present classic stories as well as never-before-heard tales, with just enough immersive sound effects to enhance the creepy vibe. Our initial listeners loved them, relishing the stories as well as the flexibility of our tours – particularly the fact that they could take them at any time of day, at their convenience, and even pause the tours between meals and other diversions.

We’d created these excursions out of a mutual passion for history, storytelling, the Big Easy, and all the things that bump and bite in the night, but eventually, we realized that we were limiting ourselves – and our tours. We longed to spread the love, so to speak – and send our creations beyond the confines of the French Quarter.

So, that brings me to this Kickstarter campaign – our very first ever.
