• Self and Indie Publishing

    June 10, 2013 /

    I’m interested in the potential of self/indie pubbing, particularly for doing some novellas or stories in my various worlds. I’m also interested in the idea as an industry changer, so I try to keep up-to-date. Anyhow, one of the things…

    The man and I took a packing break today and went digging for crystals at Crystal Park. It was not crowded. I’m guessing that might have had something to do with the fact that it was snowing when we got…
