YOU GORGEOUS PEOPLE ✨✨
WE SURPASSED $7K!!!!
Now we are only 2 backers away from a clean 100 and perhaps this is the night that I do in fact get everything I want??
If it happens, I think I'll throw in an extra goodie for everyone who's pledged, even the $1 folks. Because why not have fun?

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.
