This month was set to be one of my worse sales months, which correspond strongly to my health...and, then, someone went through and bought every book in my sci-fi series. I don't know if that person follows me, but, if they do...I saw that and you're amazing. It was a horrible day and you fixed it.

This is a lovely piece that might make you cry, but it's worth it.
"A man blessed with a concerned doctor, a dedicated counselor, a wise priest, a few good friends, and a great love in his life can overcome much. But a man with all of those and a marvelous cat can really cover a lot of distance."

A few months ago, after a few difficult days (weeks?) at work, I stumbled across something that struck a great vein of nostalgia. It was a recently released collectors edition (part 1 of 5) of an old role playing classic for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, The Enemy Within campaign. 1/3

With everything that’s going on in the world it feels strange to be trying to promote a book. But FUTURE’S EDGE is available in paperback, ebook, and audio, and I think it’s one of my best. Grab it now from @titanbooks.bsky.social or your favourite #book seller.
