Time Travel Survival Guide Project
I am writing a book titled The Time Travel Survival Guide. I have posted this as a project at a site called Kickstarter, where people can back the project financially from a dollar on up. Pledging $19 or more gets a copy of the book when it comes out, so it’s kind of like a preorder of sorts, too.

The way Kickstarter works is, people pledge a dollar amount, and it only gets charged if the project reaches its funding goal in time. So, if I don’t get $3,000 in pledges by November 23rd, the project dies and nobody gets charged.
As someone who reads my blog, I could use your help. There are two ways you can help:
- You could back my project with a pledge. I have some cool stuff I’m sending my backers, and you’ll be part of something I think is pretty cool. Even if you pledge only a dollar, it will help my project get on the front page of the site for popularity.
- You could pass along the link and tell people you know me and think this will be a great book (I hope you do!). Here’s some sample text if that helps:
“An author friend of mine, Chuck Lasker, is writing a new book called The Time Travel Survival Guide. It’s a humorous, nonscientific look at surviving if you’re suddenly thrust back in time. He’s looking for backers for as low as a dollar to help him get it finished. You can see his description and even a cool video of him explaining his book at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chucklasker/time-travel-survival-guide. Pledging even a dollar would help him move up in popularity at the site and you’ll be a part of something pretty cool.”
That’s my pitch. I appreciate any help you can send my way!
