WE DID IT . Target Reach !!. This book will be made because of people like you !

12:03PM Sun 07/06/15 on Wonky Donkey Man's new book-in-song: Eating

Because of your support in late September this year we'll have a new Craig Smith book in store, libraries and homes throughout NZ !. YOU'RE ALL AWESOME . I can't thank you enough. Many individuals pledged and I wanted to not only thank them but also a big shout out to the many libraries who got on board and also to the companies who pledged the large amounts. These include Contec group christchurch, Burgers and beers Christchurch, Harcourts Queenstown, Skyline Queenstown and of course New World Wanganui who not only pledged to have me play there when I'm on my tour at the end of the year but then also pledged another $1000 in rewards !. So their total was an amazing $2000 in pledges for this campaign !!. However I don't want this statement to take away from all those individuals who pledged and made up the rest of the total figure needed to hit the $15,000 !. Thank you all so much !. In saying this , there is still a few hours left should anyone else be keen to grab a book or two before the day is through !.  This is called "over subscription" and is a real cool thing to happen :0) Once again thanks so much , from the bottom of my heart, it's because of people like you that people like me can follow their dreams and hearts. You've made our family very happy. And as you can see.... my daughter agrees !!

ps. Another early look at one of the very cool illustrations for "Eating" by The very cool Scott Tulloch. Books out to you as soon as they land in NZ in Sept  :0)

Nearly half way !

08:42PM Sat 23/05/15 on Wonky Donkey Man's new book-in-song: Eating

This afternoon I had an amazing call from New World supermarket Wanganui . They want to pay for me to come play at their super market while on tour at the end of the year and pledged to buy $1000.00 worth of rewards to give to their customers heading into me playing there !. So a pledge of $2000.00 for my project and for the people of Wanganui !. Including this and the other 116 pledges takes us to half the funds at the midway point !. Thanks to everyone who've pledged so far. Let's please keep the ball rolling and with a bit more effort, we'll get "Eating" published !
