Sun: Writing the (dreaded) query letter. Still working on that ![]()
Mon: A Feudal Future brought to you by TV Tropes. It’s Feudalism in SPACE!
Tue: I asked How Alien is Alien? Are your aliens alien enough?
Wen: Wizard’s World War travels to China in Friend or Foe.
Thur: I dipped into the serious end of Spec-Fiction with On Politics, Religion and Speculative Fiction.
Fri: Sir Jonah meets himself and learns the truth about the World. Decisions and revelations in The Gate: King Under the Mountain.
