My novella *Dybbuk in the Doorway* is eligible for the Literary Nasty Award for Long Fiction! Takes a second to vote and I would be super appreciative if you would nominate my book! It's on KU and I think it is my most potent and best written work yet.

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it.
If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced.
If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking.
Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.
