Holy cow, it’s a deluge of generosity from Anthony Soderquist I am deeply grateful for all the moolah, and there is enough dough in the kitty to pay for me to finish next issue. All website costs are covered into next year. I won’t be able to wiggle time for A Distant Soil until I have finished Gone to Amerikay. But my goal this year (and we are well on our way to that goal) is to fill the kitty enough to pay for two issues. We now have one. And I must confess, I was a little down about being able to finish this thing. I don’t worry about…

Allan Harvey, one of our most ardent supporters, came back once more to get more goodies. Thank you for your generous donation!

Alexandra Cenni made a very, very generous donation, and for this I am very, very grateful.

Many sincere thanks to Kirt A. Dankmeyer at Ivanhoe Unbound for his generous support of A Distant Soil. Your donations keep the comics coming. More work added to ColleenDoran.com

Val Trullinger with the donation so nice, she made it twice! And she takes this shiny minty fresh Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit game off my hands. Thanks, Val!

Yolanda Kozak put a tip in my jar, and that brings you the pages. It pays for the website and the roof over the poor artist’s head, as the storm rages outside and drops another five inches of snow on my sad little farm. Woe is me! THANK YOU YOLANDA! Don’t forget to let me know what books you wanted.
