Pleased to say that I have, today, signed a contract to write the novelisation of an upcoming feature film. The timing couldn't have been better as this will certainly go a little way to helping towards the Indiegogo fiasco! Presently I can give no further details to what the project is but - rest assured - as soon as I can openly discuss it, I will give you all the details on what the film and book are.
With regards to the Indiegogo sh*te, I have heard back from them and they're stating they haven't made any payments because the campaign is waiting to go through the Trust & Safety team. This is a bu****it "go away" response given the campaign is way past the deadline for this and their own page shows they tried to disburse the funds on July 26th, which is when it failed. Researching into this a little further and July 26th was when the WWW went down with banks etc crashing due to that Microsoft error. I have, of course, gone back to them to point this out so will see what they say but rest assured I am pushing to get this sorted ASAP (be it with getting the funds sent to me or the customers refunded, preferably the first option).
In a further effort to dig myself out of this temporary mess (never buy stock up front for campaigns until the money comes through!!!), I have put a 15% sale up on Big Cartel for just a few days. If you'd like to help out and grab a discounted book - you can find them on the store:

To claim the discount, use the code DOGGY.
And, because why not, have a picture of me and the cat who is now only 85% a di****ad.
