Thank you, Auntie Björk — Solvjaynghi’s Finally Ready To Be Sent On His Way

Got revisions done, finally, on one more brutal little piece, “Solvjaynghi’s Christmas Wish.” It’s now very slim, very muscular, and very bloody at ~4800 words, and that’s the absolute lower limit for that story, so I’m accepting it and moving on. I thank Auntie Björk because I was listening to a few mixes of “Army [...]

The Egan Thief… and a Mention on BoingBoing?

Apparently so. A netfriend alerted me via my much-neglected Facebook account. Sure, just in passing, but it’s still cool.
