'Iara's Crossing'-Dino Novel on Indiegogo!
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I submitted anything to this group-and I have exciting news! My first novel, 'Iara's Crossing,' is ready to be published! And I need your help! I've launched a campaign for 'Iara's Crossing' on Indiegogo. Every donation that you make toward my story, featuring feathered dinosaurs as the protagonists, will get you digital/paperback copy of the book, enamel pins, washi tape, stickers and a bookmark, as well as a permanent, personal thank you on my website. The campaign ends on midnight May 30th, 2022-can you help me get to my goal, while getting cool stuff along the way? Find out more about the story through my DeviantART page and my art portfolio website. Thank you so much for reading--even spreading the word counts toward my goal and you're helping this dinosaur artist and writer make her dreams come true! :) ~DLP
