The evaluation copy for the hardcover version of The Aos Si’s Gift arrived today. Everything looks good, so I’ve made it available for global distribution on IngramSpark.

Substack Alert and Sneak Peak from Screaming Into the Void The first “real” article for my Substack, Screaming Into the Void, went live at 1130 today.
