The Long Awaited Explanation
Remember how I promised you I’d eventually explain what I was doing with all the banana animated gifs? Yeah, I’ve been on vacation in Ecuador and Peru and needed a bunch of quick posts I could schedule ahead of time. Animated gifs ones are always good for that.
Why bananas? Heck, why anything?

Bet you thought there’d be a banana animated gif today.
Ha! This is a video, not an animated gif. Sorry, we have no banana animated gifs today.

Break From The Bananas: Apocalypse All the Time Goodreads Giveaway!
All right! A break from the bananas! Got something else I need to talk about!
With all the attention my short story collection Not Quite so Stories got recently, including winning the 2017 Nebraska Book Award for anthology, I realized I haven’t been promoting Apocalypse All the Time enough. To begin to remedy that, I’m going to give away 6 signed copies to commemorate the one year anniversary of the release date. Runs the month of December.

Apocalypse All the Time
by David S. Atkinson
Giveaway ends January 01, 2018.
See the giveaway details

Apocalypse All the Time is post-post-apocalypticism. The apocalypse happens on a weekly (if not daily) basis and Marshall is sick of it. Life is constantly in peril, constantly disrupted, but nothing significant every really happens as a result. It’s always handled. Marshall wants out; he wants it all to end. In short, the book explores what about the end times holds such fascination for humanity and what impact such a fascination has on the way we live our lives.

Throw Banana
Remember how the hot dog animated gif thing started for me when I was looking for animated gifs of people throwing bananas? Tying things together again, here’s someone throwing a banana:
