So, all the ways to help me out.

Self-serving, hey? …Well, nobody’s giving me free advertising so that how it works. The good news is, all of these things are either no cost to you, or they’re value-for-money. I don’t object to just being given cash, but I think it’s better when it’s a trade. After all, we are not Communists.

So!

  • Patreon! Signing up gets you fiction and gaming stuff every week and month. We’re pretty close to a milestone, too.
  • Amazon author page! Buy my books! Give my books as gifts!
  • Smashwords! For people who don’t like Amazon.
  • Mailing list! As God is my witness, I will be doing more with the mailing list, starting in January. As in, I will actually use it.
  • Current book preorder! This is where the signed copies can be found.
  • Goodreads! This is an excellent place to review my books. Just saying, that’s all.

I figure that should do for a start. Posting may be sparse tomorrow, by the way. If I don’t say it before then: Happy New Year!

Book of the Week: An Unexpected Cookbook.

An Unexpected Cookbook: The Unofficial Book of Hobbit Cookery was one of the things I got for Christmas. It’s actually very informative! I hadn’t twigged to the fact that Tolkien avoided most New World foods when writing about the Shire*. So, no chocolate, vanilla, tomatoes: the writer worked with a lot of traditional British cooking, the kind JRR Tolkien would have grown up eating. The book also looks useful if you’re interested in working with leftovers. Definitely worth a look, I think.

*Except for potatoes, because he couldn’t help himself. He also made exceptions for tobacco, and coffee (although obviously that last isn’t from the Americas originally).
