A new interview with me

Can you imagine a more delightful way to spend your Wednesday than reading a new interview with me conducted by game designer Ross Watson?Okay, admittedly, so can I.But perhaps Scarlett Johansson (or Chris Hemsworth, depending on your preferences) and the private beach in Tahiti aren't available. In that case, check this out:http://rosswatson.blogspot.com

Roosters are evil

Last night it was cool enough to shut off the AC and open the windows. That was good in most respects, but it did reacquaint me with one hideous aspect of rural life.

Kids growing up in the city like I did are taught that roosters crow to greet the sunrise. That would be ghastly enough, but the truth is, they start crowing well before dawn. I'm convinced they do it out of spite.

Have mercy on me, rooster next door. Here's a peace offering:

I will be writing a novella set in the "Accursed" universe

I'm pleased to report that the Kickstarter for the Accursed RPG hit the Stretch Goal that is a new novella by me. So I will be writing that in due course.The Kickstarter still has a couple hours to run. If you're a gamer and haven't checked it out yet, you can find it here:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1231173913/accursed-rpg?ref=live

Read (a novel by me) and Feed America

I noticed this Tweet over on Twitter:
Get a Requiem novel by @GregStolze & a Scarred Lands novel by @rleebyers in the Read and Feed America Bundle - http://bit.ly/1bbiwcV
I had fun writing my Scarred Lands novels back in the day, and I liked the way they came out. It's nice to think some new readers might discover them, especially by donating to a good cause.

My Utopian dream

Thanks to everyone who bought THE IMPOSTOR #2: THE BLOOD MACHINE (or downloaded it when it was free.) I truly appreciate it.Still, we shouldn't let the eBook's current level of success blind us to the fact that in a perfect society like those described in Plato's REPUBLIC and Sir Thomas More's UTOPIA, many more of you would buy it, and a bunch of you would review it, too.Thus, I call on the dreamers. Join me in making this shining ideal a reality.Do it for the children.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EODEPBY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p351_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1MYCTTK9T6HJYDFKV78T&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1630072222&pf_rd_i=507846
