One of the biggest questions I have gotten this last year is when are we going to start the kickstarter project for book 3. It’s been weighing on my mind as I finish up chapter 11 and move into chapter 12. So I decided that I  needed to reevaluate my timetable and see how I can up the date a little.

We were originally looking at Sept to start, but I realized that that needed to change. So I changed things around, to get the book started.

The Bean vol 3: Broken Souls will start it’s Kickstarter Pledge Drive July 1st- (gives me time to finish the movie-). Like all Kickstarter projects this is an all or nothing drive. You pledge what you feel comfortable with (like before) and earn the reward for the pledge. If we make our goal- the book funds if we miss it, money will not change hands.  I look at it as pre-ordering the book with added benefits.

The rewards this time are different. (I am not going to over bombard you with extra books) plus I am adding a special reward unlike before. This will make things a little more exciting.

This is list of this years rewards- You will be able to find what fits for you. As always, anyone that contributes to the book, will get their name in the back of the book, just like the other two volumes.
