I’ve been keeping a low profile online lately as I finish revisions on my forthcoming novel RULE OF CAPTURE, but I was able to share some of my 2018 reading over at the Aqueduct Press blog, including some of the weird research I have been doing for the new bookâlike the curious little handbook pictured above. Thanks to Timmi Duchamp and the folks at Aqueduct for having me back again.
My schedule for Armadillocon, for those of you planning to attend in Austin this weekend:
