You might have just received an email about my new release mailing list reengagement campaign. Essentially, I’ve trimmed everyone off my mailing lists who (according to my hosting site) haven’t engaged or opened an email from me in a couple of years.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED. LUCKY #2 HAS BEEN EMAILED. Sir Terry Pratchett passed away two years ago on March 12, 2015. I blogged about his passing here.

The work in progress.
I sent Reconstructionist 2 off to the editor for his story edit pass yesterday, which means that I have a few days in which to outline Reconstructionist 3. Unfortunately I made the mistake of showering and blow drying my hair this morning before work, so ALL THE STORIES waiting in the wings of my mind started clamouring […]
