> Hey everybody!
> For those of you that are not aware, I have recently finished my first children's book, ALDO TANNERS! WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS!? Since being laid off in November, things have been going extremely well for me as an artist. I have been selling my original art and actually able to make a living from it. However, unlike when I released my first novel, MEMOIRS OF AN ANTIHERO, money is a little bit tighter and we are not able to just immediately print up hundreds of copies of the new book and then go on tour to promote it. That is why I began this Kickstarter campaign.

> For those unfamiliar with Kickstarter, it is a site that accepts contributions to aid artists, writers, filmmakers etc to build capital for certain projects. Beyond just supporting the arts, you also receive really cool stuff! In this case, you can receive books, original art, customized art and so much more! I would never wish for this to come across as begging, rather asking for people to invest in what could potentially be something great! Just as we have been able to surpass 20,000 copies sold for MEMOIRS, we plan on getting copies of ALDO TANNERS in libraries, schools and thousands of homes all over the world! But we need your help! Even a dollar is appreciated! Every contribution gets us one step closer to making this book a success and paving the way for many many more!!
> Thank you for your time and consideration!!
