I know it will seem a little much that having long abandoned my page here, I return in order to drum up business for a project I am concerned in. I hope you'll forgive me because it will be evident (to those who don;t already know it from Facebook) that it IS REALLY COOL and offers real value to supporters and contributors.
Yes I am talking about a KICKSTARTER project to fund beautiful hardcover editions of my new project (ongoing for years, of course, like all of mine) -- "The Chemical Wedding, by Christian Rosenkreutz. A Romance in Eight Days." A little book I regard as a good candidate for First Science Fiction Novel (pub. 1616 -- 400 years ago exactly!).
There are only 14 days left in the campaign and a little (well, quite a bit) less that nalf the stated goal amount reached. I hope you can participate.

ANd here's a prize for everyone -- a riddle I just thought of: What number, when you add 5 to it, changes space into time?

Wonder if for the sake of customs and excise (aka the revenue men) a kickstarter donation qualifies as a purchase and therefor the $30 would translate to £20+
"If you select the $30 option and put in a UK address it will automatically add the shipping. But as for the question as to how the revenuers treat a Kickstarter pledge, I do not know. A search gave some interesting results:

I do not have a definitive answer and I think asking Kickstarter support (they were helpful with an Australian backer who has having trouble) is the way to go."

Scroll down a little further. The $30.00 option ships anywhere in the world.
But while you are following comments on this post, why is Christian Rosenkreutz spelled Christian Rosencreutz on the cover of the book? I have been assuming the spelling was changed for a good reason and adopting it in my blog posts, but I see you use the Rosenkreutz spelling in your own post.
I am pleased to be a backer and all the more for the Daemonomania offering that I leapt upon.
If this is correct could my reward be an update on the status of the 25th Anniversary Edition of Little, Big? Last word on the site was that it would go to press this month. Looking forward to reading The Chemical Wedding.
I can give you no update on LB25 beyond what you can find on the website, I'm sorry to say. I feel there is movement toward conclusion, but can't offer details. I wish I could.
ANd thanks for supporting CW. It really WILL arrive in reasonable time, I guarantee.
The Great Beast?
Ordo Templi Orientis. United States Grand Lodge
The ad at the top of the page read, "The Great Beast? Ordo Templi Orientis [etc.]." Now it reads, "Relevance 360 / Strategy, Web Design & Marketing Free consultation with John Crowley."
I went to your blog, John, because I've missed it and have been sorry to see you put it behind (presumably). But all good things must end, I suppose. I still get to read you in HARPERS from time to time (always good). AND I brought a book home from my local library yesterday, LOVECRAFT COUNTRY by Matt Ruff, only to be delighted to find your blurb on the back cover when I perused it a little more closely. A recommendation from John Crowley ("WWJCR?" means "What would John Crowley read?" in case you didn't know) is high praise.
Best wishes from a Forever Fan. tina
You can now -- or by year's end -- buy a copy of the book -- and I'll get a royalty. Win-win.
Thanks again..
I have a theory about the eigth day. Maybe he was still a porter when he went home. He's been tasked with guarding the secrets of Alchemy for the rest of his life. I think that's what the last part is suggesting.
