FROZEN DREAMS is my first novel (post-apocalyptic fantasy), and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION is a collection of short stories, set in the same universe. Starting October 13th the Kindle versions will both be on sale for a week. Tell your friends! Heck, tell your acquaintances, professional colleagues, and people you see on the subway.

Patreon Microfiction: The Actual Magery Involves Slide Rules.
The oddity of ‘The Actual Magery Involves Slide Rules’ is, I don’t know who are the better guys. I mean, ‘cultist’ is diagnostic – but so is ‘deliberately setting people up for fatal radiation poisoning.’ That’s not exactly nice.
Book of the Week: Decisions: Four Tales of Choices.
Writer Moe Lane has warned – or maybe promised? – that Decisions: Four Tales of Choices will be the last self-published fiction of his in 2021. It’s made up of four stories, each illustrated with its own image drawn specifically for the story. Also not entirely horror, unlike his previous two chapbooks. Check it out!

I finally figured out what’s happening! That’s always nice to know.
Talking with a bookstore about doing an author signing.
Nothing confirmed yet, but it’d be in early November. I should have enough stock on hand to handle signing for MORGAN BAROD (and maybe FROZEN DREAMS), but I’ll know more when I talk to the store owner. Actually, I have no idea how any of this works. …Guess I’ll learn!
Been looking for Book Fairs/conventions in MD to vend in.
Slightly slow going, alas: I don’t want to drive three hours, and I definitely don’t want to spend two hundred bucks on a table when I’m not going to make that money back. If people know of reasonably-price book fairs in Maryland, feel free to let me know. I’ll also happily participate in book signings at local bookstores! Aside from the sales, it’ll help get my name out.

Book of the Week: THE LAST GRADUATE.
I suspect that my choice of Naomi Novik’s THE LAST GRADUATE for Book of the Week is unsurprising. Honestly, it may end up being my favorite book this year. It and A DEADLY EDUCATION are just, you know, neat.
I think I’m ready for @FrightReads tomorrow.
Books packed up, gear collected, printouts updated and printed. All I have to do tomorrow is load up the car and then I can go. Hopefully I’ll be selling some books, too!
Here’s the link to Fright Reads, on the off chance that you haven’t seen it ten million times by now already. Sorry, but the algorithm is a harsh mistress.
