Did you know that I have a Patreon? I do! It’s a way for my fans to throw a small amount of money my way to support my writing! I haven’t quite reached my first goal, which involves a monthly video of me reading one of my stories or an excerpt from a longer piece! […]

Today, I’ll be returning home from an annual gaming convention. By some luck of the draw and my interests, I wound up playing in three quasi-historical games this year. Two of the three were alternate history games, one with a fairly close correlation to the Wild West, but with a heavy splash of horror, and […]
