(Today is the the midpoint of my Kickstarter campaign for “Moderately Important Fables.” Only 15 days remain! So to celebrate this milestone (it’s not really a milestone when you think about it (or is it?

Shattuck effectively packs a big punch of wonderfully dry humor that whipsaws between the most serious and ironically funny aspects of the human condition.

moderatelyimportantfables:
Holy crap. Moderately Important Fables passed $1,000 on Kickstarter yesterday, in only 4 days. I’m so shocked, that my head just spun all the way around like in ‘The Exorcist,’ and now I have to go to the chiropractor. To show my severe gratitude for your support, I’m going to post a chapter from the book sometime later today or tomorrow.

Oh goodness gracious. Kickstarter has chosen Moderately Important Fables as one of their Staff Picks, and even featured my book on their official blog. That’s so flattering, I think I may cry. Which is rather awkward timing, since I’m dancing to the song “Tequila” in a biker bar at the moment.

Hi, I’m Ryan Shattuck. You may remember me from such websites as Facebook or Google.

From now until June 4th, I will...
