Today marks day one of my kickstarter fundraising. DownHouse Software is raising money to hire an artist to illustrate the second book in the mythic science series, tentatively titled The Curse of Sisyphus. This story explores the physics of motion and gravity using the story of King Sisyphus’ legendary punishment by the god Zeus. Additionally, funds will be used to improve the interface and gamify the DownHouse Software Website in a way that promotes exploration of DHS titles and provides a space to practice and expand the knowledge gained by reading the books.
To support this project or to just check it out in greater detail visit my kickstarter site: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1681676168/mythic-science-teaching-science-through-stories
Thanks for your support – whether it just amounts to reading my blog or to supporting DHS.

Hi Jack,
I bought and read The Thirteenth Labor. I have some ideas on how to gamify the story and wanted to discuss it with you. Do you have an email address where I can mail you some thoughts?
Thanks,
Prateek
