Sooooo…..This week, “Steam. And Dragons.” came out. Edited by, well, yours truly. This is the third of the Campcon anthologies. (“Tales From and Alien Campfire” and “Horseshoes, Hand Grenades, and Magic: Where Close Counts” were the first two.) There are some truly wonderful stories in this anthology. From more traditional fantasy to steampunk to science […]
Okay, this is likely to be a longish post, so stay with me. For those following along at home, you may or may not recall that I’ve been suffering from a bunch of migraines. I have successfully done a couple things to reduce them: Doubled my thyroid medication. This got rid of a bunch of migraines.

It’s January 12th. For those of you who don’t know, today is Jeff Bezos’ birthday. While I don’t think Amazon is my friend, and I really don’t believe that they always have my best interests at heart, I also am aware that I make a lot of money by selling books via Amazon KDP. Jeff
