We’ve hit a stretch of days where it’s in the 33-35 C range. That’s 95 F, and is too hot for me. I’m Canadian! It’s just not natural! And we don’t have air conditioning. We do have a hundred year old house that gets a pretty good cross draft in the evenings, though.

So I had a story come out in an anthology a week and a half ago, of the sort that might cause some chill-inducing goosebumps. We’re going to When Words Collide next weekend, where you can catch me on a couple panels. And last weekend, I started a new book with ghosts in it, and  my wife got bored and decided to update the covers of my Angela Fiddler short story backlist, as well as my one crossover freebie.

To celebrate this varied collection of things, for the next two weeks, you can grab all my Angela Fiddler short stories and novellas half off with a coupon on Smashwords, and just because, the Masters of the Lines bind-up collection for 25% off.
