Wherever you get one of my books from. Just a rating, maybe a short sentence as well. Thank you.

Samhain blessings, ye heathens. Walk with care this coming year. Protect yourself so you can protect others.
Blessed Be.

Both of these seem increasingly true...
"I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you." - Genghis Khan

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

Originally written in 1995, and increasingly true as the years roll by.

A shelf full of flawed masterpieces. The first copy of the main imprints of every (smaller formats) book I've ever published. These are the ones where I found format errors, that one goddamn typo, or a quirky issue I never expected. These are the unique failures so you get the best I can make. 📚💙

Poetry (This Mortal Dance), Illustrated speculative fiction collection (Homestead), & the beautiful healing & affirmation hardback I collated and published for a dear friend (Winding Roads & Open Shores).
[I've skipped the 20 or so Visions of the Future collections & anthologies.]
