Kickstarter campaign for “Interior Skeches II” book reaches 50% funding level

We are half way to our funding goal of $2,230.00, which is the amount needed to cover the development and first printing of my book, “Interior Sketches II, More ramblings around Interior Alaska historic sites.

For those of you unfamiliar with the project, this is a follow-up project to my first book, “Interior Sketches, Ramblings around Interior Alaska historic sites.

Both books are based on the historical column, “Sketches of Alaska,” which I have been producing for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner newspaper for the past five years. That column was given the “Contributions to Alaska History award by the Alaska Historical Society in 2011.

Each book showcases 60 historic sites scattered across the region, with each listing featuring a detailed pen and ink illustration plus a short essay describing the site and regional history. You can get a feel for the book by looking at the historical posts on my blog, “Sketches of Alaska.”

Please check out the Kickstarter project for “Interior Sketches II.” The project ends on April 19th, so there is still time to pledge. Rewards offered range from art postcards and note cards for $10.00 and under, a 2016 historical calendar for $12.00, copies of the new book for $20.00, and original historical pen and ink drawings ranging from $150.00 to $400.00.
