Had to laugh at my niece's post when she shared the last message..
Anyone need a stocking filler? My aunt and her nutty gang of puzzle people are making a puzzle book. Their crowd funding deadline is coming up soon so check it out!
Apologies to all of you nutty gang of puzzle people!

Oh, I think it goes without saying that I'm included in the nuttiness.

I do believe we've reached the target

OK so maybe I really am crazy?
I'm here on my own (well, apart from the cat) and I just did a lap around my living room jumping up and down and shouting WHOOO!

Well done indeed to Scurra. All that hard work has paid off...well, actually, I'm including all the hard work you now have to do to bring it all to fruition!
P.S. The cat went off in disgust!

I think you should! They might be being auctioned off in Southeby's for millions of pounds in 20 years or so...

I'm sure a signing session can be arranged for those who'd like Scurra's autograph!
And I agree with Bunnylump, there is still quite a bit of hard work to come but it's good to know we have reached the target.

Well I guess it's official now!
Thanks everyone.
I'd better get back to writing puzzles, I suppose.

Hmmm. There are four issues due next year as well, you know. They won't write themselves.

Meant to post earlier. Well done Scurra and all us nutty puzzle people for getting the word out. Looking forward to some mind bending stuff and also a signed Snark copy please.
