  You will need to part with some $Canadian Bucks Loonies, but that will not deter you from enjoying my short story, “Under the Jonquil”, now out from MacroMicroCosm.

  I’ve sent out over 30 review copies of Time is the Water so far:  to the local paper, a couple of professional SF reviewers, and to requestors at Goodreads and LibraryThing.  So far, I’ve heard back from just one person, at Goodreads, who explained that she would not be reviewing the book; after reading about 60 pages, she […]
