Hi Friends!
Well we're halfway through the campaign, and the crushing continues!
Earlier this week I announced a number of new stretch goals since we were approaching the final goal I had established at the beginning of the campaign. Since then we've started unlocking the new ones.
So now I am on the hook to write three new icaran Confederation Navy stories to complete the 10-story collection I promised at $1,500, and everyone will get Candlemass, a story set in the Icaran Confederation, in your choice of ebook format.
Future stretch goals include two other stories that are set in the Icaran Confederation but don't involve their Navy, followed by a number of stories set in another political entity in my scifi universe: The Qorathi Empire. The final stretch goal, at $3,500, is a 10-story collection set in the Empire. Like the ICN 10-Story collection, that will require me to write a few extra stories. I'm looking forward to doing that for you!
Now if, and this is a big if, we exceed the new final goal, I have a cool idea for another really, no-kidding, final stretch goal. More to follow if it looks like I'll need to pull it out.
Thanks again for making this campaign a smash success. It's already well exceeded my expectations and we've still got 10 days to go!
Stay tuned for more news as we approach the end, and don't forget to tell your friends about the cool stuff we're doing here.
V/R,
Michael

Hi Friends!
Well, I am stunned. I thought there was a good chance we'd burn through all these initial stretch goals, but I honestly expected it to take longer than this!
But, we have. So now all backers will receive every Icaran Confederation Navy story that I've written so far in your choice of ebook format.
We're only $400 from the next goal, where I will write three more ICN stories and create a collection of ten for y'all. At this rate I am pretty sure we'll get there, probably pretty soon. So I am going back to the drawing board to come up with more stretch goals.
This is a great problem to have!
Thank you so much for the amazing support! You guys are awesome.

Hi Friends!
We're cruising right along, aren't we? Overnight, we unlocked the 4th stretch goal and are now spitting distance from #5. So now in addition to your other rewards, you'll all receive The Corvus Bridge, an Icaran Confederation Navy story, in your choice of ebook format.
Outstanding!
Thanks very much, I really appreciate all of your support.
Now on to the next one, I suppose. :)

Hi Friends!
Well, we did it again this morning. Smashed through another stretch goal. So now everyone will get Midwatch Asylum, an Icaran Confederation Navy story, in your choice of ebook format, along with everything else.
We're around the corner from the next stretch goal. I suspect we'll get there soon!
With that said, I wanted to take a minute to pimp another campaign.
Ron and Brigid Collins are a father-daughter writing pair that I've known for a few years. Ron is an engineer and winner of the Writers of the Future contest, and as such we've always been friendly. Brigid is an accomplished writer in her own right.
They like to write baseball stories, and they've got a baseball-themed campaign going as we speak. They've achieved their initial goal and are zooming through stretch goals, and I would recommend you check them out!

Once again, thank you very much for your support and generosity. I really appreciate it!
