OTHER:
I have some short stories in progress and some announcements to come about my next novel projects, but not this week.
I keep meaning to set up a quarterly newsletter like people do but I haven’t managed it yet (it always seems more important to spend my time writing fiction and alas I have no personal assistant).
Finally, a fully updated web site, soon.
