How many stretch goals did we blow past? As of this post, fourteen. FOURTEEN. You monsters. (You are not really monsters, this is an inversion of expectations through wordplay, where something called monstrous is actually wondrous and celebratory. It is almost as amusing as over-explaining a minor joke for comedic effect.)

Anyway... let's all wish Misty a very happy birthday in the comments or on her Facebook post! She's dedicated the last forty years of her life to writing novels, stories, songs, and more, as well as support for numerous charities, bird rescue work, and social justice initiatives. And because her work means so much to us, over 3500 people have gathered together to make this book possible.

As a birthday thank you to this community, we're announcing a stretch goal upgrade AND a bonus stretch goal. 

Finally (until you reach another stretch goal and we get to type more words), we're thrilled to share another Community Art Gallery submission from Bobby Joe C. Thanks Bobby!
