Particularly, things that say of SILVER ON THE ROAD, “this book is SPECTACULAR.” BoookRiot discusses “10 Great Books that Feature the Devil.” Oh, and this, too! Obsidian Wings’ Summer Roundup The idea that people are still finding the book a year after it was originally published gives my withered and battered soul hope, it does.

I wasn’t going to wade into the current WFC bruhaha (as opposed to past WFC bruhahas), because honestly this will probably continue until those who venerate Lovecraft et al over all other influences are dead, or at least out of the active field.

Draft of Episode 1 of the Case of the Feckless Ferrets done, and off to the beta reader. It’s short but delightful, if I do say so myself. :-) Join the Patreon now to get in on the start! (and to get your pet included in on the fun!) We’re $4 shy of adding the
A taste of what my Patreons will be getting in their in-boxes soon… My partner Dickie was greying around the muzzle, but still stocky and strong, pure bulldog down to his claws. “Pup,†he’d started, and never mind I was full-grown, to him I was forever going to be working on my milk-teeth, “Pup, ya
