About the author

I just typed something about not having checked in here in 2 1/2 years and how life chaos derailed my writing and I'm getting going again but have the energy for my 4 kids and home stuff and writing but not much more.

It was detailed. But then I discovered that if you change a second field, and it's the wrong field, which you can't tell, it accepts *that* chance and refreshes the form, DUMPING ALL MY WORK FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT'S HOW FORMS WORKED IN 1995.

So... I'm going to check in and accept friend requests. But trying to maintain anything here is a gddmn nightmare. I remember the process of attempting to maintain my list of titles was massively complicated and annoying AF.

So I'm not even going to try.

OH AND SAVING ANYTHING KICKS YOU OUT OF THE FORM WHYYYYYYY IS IT 1995 HERE

Peace, and thanks for reading.

An anthology of seven short stories, this is a nice collection to read by the fireplace, beginning with a story of Barton's that has appeared separately "All Flesh is Grass," with six new tales; "Fermi Person Omniscient," about sauroid scientists delving into matters multiversal; "Sleep," about the things we know not when we slumber; Two visions of ageless humans in "Consent of the Governed" and "Mine of Men"; "The Circle of Grass" about a better place and better way; Finally, "Ignorance of the Law" is a fun little tale of a traffic cop of a most unexpected sort. These are a nicely rounded set of stories with a variety of approaches in style.
