Win a Copy of Naked Defiance

Sign up for my e-list by April 14 and you'll be entered in a randomized draw for a free copy of my novel Naked Defiance. Visit: https://patriksampler.com/contact/ (If you're chosen, I'll email you for your postal address, and the book will be on its way.) Why am I doing this? Well, I'd rather be in contact with you directly than through some corporation. I can guarantee you won't be spammed, either. I send out my messages generally twice a year -- that's it.

The Scofield 3.1: Kobo Abe & Home

Here's something to savour: The Scofield has devoted an entire issue to Kōbō Abe, and it's beautiful. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and am thrilled to be a part of it. My endorsement of Kangaroo Notebook starts here: https://patriksampler.com/2017/12/06/...
