Hello, new follower! Your arrival is well-timed. I released a new science fiction novel yesterday. It's the third volume in a queer alternate history cyberpunk saga that explores mental illness, addiction, and how humans evolve with technology. What's on your reading list?

And only three backers away from the next backer goal!!!

This is the second time our co-founders have woken up to a STRETCH GOAL HIT!! You hit our $9,700 goal overnight—that means ISSUE 7 IS FUNDED! We are now ONLY ONE STRETCH GOAL AWAY FROM YEAR 2 FULLY FUNDED!!

AND spot our next revealed stretch goal? 👀

www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...
Over a hazy purple background, there's the header "stretch goals." The first three goals, of $6900, $8300, and $9700 are now illuminated in rainbow with a picture of an open lock next to them. The remaining goals of $11000 (Issue 8) and $12000 (Reprints!) and $13000 (More Art!) show a closed lock next to them.
