About this author

James K Bowers, an obsessed but infrequent writer of science fiction and fantasy, has written several things longer than his own name, usually at the insistence of friends wielding cattle prods. He has never failed to include an adverb or two for the express purpose of inciting the ire of Stephen King's Disciples of Adverbicide. He is the founder of The Herscher Project, and a member of Elfwood, Wyvernsmiths, and (before its untimely demise) Sky-Tribe. Jim is an active member of the River Valley Voices writers group and pens occasional book reviews for The Journal, the newspaper serving Kankakee County, Illinois.

Chocolate isn't like premarital sex. It will not make you pregnant.
And it always feels good.”

Don Martinez Jim, first off thanks for putting Dinétah Dragon on your "on-my-sff-wishlist" shelf. Second, thanks for the vote on the site blog. Third, thanks for voicing support for veterans: I'm hoping to get some awareness out there with the Blue Star Drive, and encourage everyone to contribute.

Thank you very much for the notice!
