Second Kickstarter Defeats First in a Duel

Within the first day of the current Kickstarter campaign, you exceeded the amount pledged to the first Kickstarter. At least, officially.

There were a lot of people who backed after the campaign was over, or added extras on later, or who shipped us chests full of doubloons after the original Kickstarter closed. The point is, the actual amount we raised in the last Kickstarter was higher than the official total on the page.

And now we've passed that too. In about three days.

We're now one of the highest-funded literary Kickstarters of all time. I think the only fantasy authors ahead of us are Sherrilyn Kenyon and Brandon Sanderson. Never thought I'd say anything like that.

Right now I'm on a boat, writing The Last Horizon and seeking forbidden treasure, but I thought I'd swing by land long enough to say another thank you! The support you've shown me for Cradle has vastly exceeded my wildest hopes, to the point that it blows my mind all the time.

You're great. All of you, whether you backed the Kickstarter or not.

Thanks for reading!
