TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION will be on Kindle super-sale tomorrow!
But you’re welcome to buy it now.
TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION: “Set in the same world as FROZEN DREAMS, this sprawling anthology stretches over 900 years of future post-apocalyptic fantasy history! There are ten stories, including several never before published; and, for fans of FROZEN DREAMS, there’s a new novelette starring Tom Vargas.”

PS: Also, DUTIES is available for pre-order!
Four tales of obligations! Four stories, each with its own illustration! And each with its own hero! There’s the killer robot of MEATBAGS, who cannot wait to tell you what he thinks about humanity. Then there’s the clever cleric of THE FIGHT IN THE GROVE, fighting to save the forest from corruption and blight! Joining them is the weary wisecracker of PROCESSING DUTY, buried deep in the darkest shadow of the Cold War. Lastly is MOTHER’S LITTLE HELPER, and his machinations in a funhouse mirror of two centuries. Read this cross-genre romp today! (Four stories, each with its own illustration, thirty-two thousand words total.)

I want to see more, but… yes. Yes, I am ready to hear a little bit more about WENDELL AND WILD. (Via @shaenongarrity)

DUTIES is submitted for pre-order publishing / proof copy.
I have assigned 09/15/22 as the official Kindle publication date for DUTIES. I will put a pre-order link as soon as I have one, and this chapbook I’m going to be pushing heavily. I’m curious to see how many pre-orders I can generate with a sustained campaign, and this is a good choice for test platform. Oh, and here’s the cover:
I’ve finally figured out how to lick the color palette mismatch problem between Canva and KDP, too. Every day is a new opportunity for learning. Some days are more… opportune than others, mind you.

Just woke up with this character in my head. Could be worse, though: yesterday, my wife and I went over some possible superhero teammates for FLORIDA MAN. Now THAT would be a campaign.

Hope everyone had a good Labor Day.
I spent it prepping DUTIES for publication. One more pass-through tomorrow, and then I submit it first for Kindle, then paperback. I don’t think I’ll have copies in time for Fright Reads, though. Alas.
Regular posting resumes tomorrow.

What… Oh, let me save you the trouble: Susanna Hoff is 63 years old, and now looks like this.

Which is ridiculously unfair, but since it’s ultimately unfair in my favor I’m going to allow it.

Spent the day working on DUTIES edits…
…and now I’m too bleary-eyed to go on. Enjoy your night, folks.
Uncle Hugo’s is back.
It’s in a different location, the site isn’t as large, the stock is only partially anything like what it was before the anarchist blackshirts burned the first place down, and the store need to get a better sign – but Uncle Hugo’s is back from the dead.
Patreon Microfiction: Reorganization.
…It’s because of this classic movie. Its aesthetic informed a lot of what I do. No, really.

‘Free Fallin’.’
Heard it twice on the car ride home tonight. I can take a hint.
