A Return to Blogging

I know what you’re thinking…”we’ve heard this before.” Bruce is feeling guilty again about not exposing himself to public consumption (eeww…I didn’t mean for that to sound so naughty), so he’s found a burst of energy and is back to tell us that he’s going to return to blogging, at least on a semi-regular basis. Okay, […]

And Night Descends…the Third Book of the Small Gods

More specifically, Ella and the wonderful team at Paper Gold Publishing published one of my books. And Night Descends is the third book in the Small Gods series, preceded by When Shadows Fall and […]

A Book for Christmas…or 23
