THIS. IS. IT.

This time, next week, we will be counting down the hours to the closure of crowdfunding for Rory Hobble and the Voyage to Haligogen.

Wednesday 11th March is the deadline for Rory Hobble and the Voyage to Haligogen to reach 100% funding and I need another £3,000.

This means that we…

Dear Supporters,

First of all, I'd like to offer a massive thank you to everyone who has pledged their support to Rory Hobble so far; it really does mean a great deal to me and without your commitment this book simply will not exist.
