ORSSP: Complete!

The last Old Races e-book collection, AFTERMATH, has now been published! This collection has one reprint, “Perchance to Dream”, a Janx story also available in the anthology DRAGON’S LURE.

YEAR OF MIRACLES!

We’re going on holiday tomorrow. I’m declaring it an Internet Fast, at least to the best of my ability to do so when I still have actual access to the internet, so I’ve jumped the gun and have published YEAR OF MIRACLES on Amazon et all so I don’t have to do it while on vacation.

Apparently my life is sufficently boring that I can’t think of anything to blog about. I have to draw winners for the BYD contest, but since I already blew my first deadline on that and there’s a long weekend coming up in America, I think I’ll wait until next week. In the meantime, random things: I believe this is very much the sort of thing the phrase “Oh, snap!” was invented for: Back to back questions presented to Robert Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson. *laughs* My wallet died, so I…
