(PS – yes I know I have an amazon store. I’m working on setting up something else, but in the meantime… check LBFBooks, Lachesis Publishing and Apex Books for the titles I’ve posted there.)
I’ve been far too disgusted and disturbed by the recent happenings at Amazon to even be remotely coherent about it. I mean, really? Come on… even the kids’ books dealing with same-sex parents, teen books on being gay… all stripped of their genre sets and sales rankings.
People in the fifth century had more sense and acceptance than …

This is the first of probably a handful of book sales I’ll have.
Firstly, we’re needing to trim down just in case we find a better place to live (where the appliances don’t blow up, set fires or die within months, and where the walls don’t drip water all year long, and where there’s heat in every room simultaneously).
Secondly – I’m cleaning my office.
Thirdly – there’s that project I want to do (well, there’s two, but only one I need to do participate in the funding on).

Today my children are to be initiated. They’ve finished their early studies, completed their trials, spent countless hours reading their mythologies.

I hate winter, I hate that the school division set such a ridiculous temperature level for closure, and I hate the new dashboard.
They won’t close the school unless it’s -45. It’s -41 now, and it’s supposed to get to -45 by the time school closes. Care has to walk, granted it’s not far at about a half-mile, but still. It’s fucking cold. I hope she’s found her thermals… (checking..yes, she did) but thankfully Rhia gets picked up by a bus. She’d freeze solid by the time she made it …
