The kernel of this story started as a fever dream; it was so vivid it wouldn't leave me, so I gave in and wrote it out. A three week keyboard blitz and the draft was done.Three years later it's finally across the finish line. As usual, Justin, big cheers to you for all your help with editing. Also, you're a jerk. Stop being so good at coming up with new ideas and interesting tangents; it's partly your fault this took so long! Another cheer to Pixl for a number of small details (you'll know which ones). And then there's Eden Tuckman and the team at Gatekeeper: kind, courteous, and creative. A triple whammy threat that's always a pleasure!Anyway, if I'm not writing, reading, or doodling, I'm probably playing tabletop games or lifting heavy things. Or I'm badgering Justin 'cause I've a new chapter for him to shred.
