For instance, where on the web do you stash all the...

Anthology Announcement

Back in 2009, a small publishing company put out my antholigy of humorous fantasy and sci-fi short stories called Tunnel Vision. Three years later, the book went out of print after selling 21 copies. The experience with this publishing company led me to go into self-publishing. The short stories in the anthology have been unavailable until now. Before the end of the month, a new version of Tunnel...
