Hello everyone,

This is a special mid-month announcement. I'll be sending you the full monthly newsletter in 11 days with comments on Dragon Con and some of the upcoming projects, but we have a special event today, and I want to make sure you all have a chance to see it.

Murderbirds, an Avian Anthology goes live as a presale Kickstarter this evening.

• When: Friday 9/9 at 7pm Eastern (4pm Pacific, 5pm Mountain, 6pm Central, and for our authors and readers outside of the US, that's Midnight of Sat 9/10 in England, 1am in Sweden, and 2am in Crete, and 9am in Australian Eastern Time)
• Where: Anywhere with Wifi at this link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikejackstoumbos/murderbirds-an-avian-anthology

In addition to being an awesome collection as is, we're doing some exciting things with the Kickstarter, including a few backing tiers with limited availability—so the early bird gets the bonus. These include:

• Early editions signed by several of the authors;
• Tuckerization, or getting yourself inserted directly into a story;
• Optional short story critique add-ons;
• …and more

Come check it out this evening and stay tuned for more updates.

Cheers,

Mike Jack Stoumbos
