There needs to be some changes around here. Or at least maintenance.

I’ve been neglecting things. Even though I’ve had a good number of stories appear in a variety of recent anthologies, have written two new novels, and done one or two other things worth noting, I’m a few years behind in updating various credits and lists on the website. Not great for what amounts to an online CV.

A global pandemic, a near-fatal bike accident, a gammy leg that nearly killed me, and the death of everyone and everything I’ve ever loved is no excuse.

For those tracking things (probably closer than I have) The Iron Zephyr of Peril has been entirely serialized on my Patreon page for subscribers. All nearly zero of them. It’s probably another area of neglect I should look into, but I never pushed Patreon too hard. After setting up my account and getting my first subscribers, Patreon proved themselves to be another bunch of censorial silicone-valley shitheads. It was nothing that struck me directly, but I hate giving them a cut after the way they’ve behaved towards other creators.

Anyway, that remains the only release venue for The Iron Zephyr of Peril, and I still have a number of edits and corrections to do. What exists online is a preview copy that needs more polish. I fully expected to have it available in print and digital on Amazon by now, but at this point, in the middle of holiday season, it’s probably best to push the full release to early 2024.

I’ll try to plow through the latest updates shortly and move forward from there. With a bit of housekeeping, I should be able to make a determined run at 2024 and get things moving again.

Which is what I said about 2023.

And 2022.

And 2021.

And 2020.
