    Hello, folks! I’ve written a book. Actually, I’ve written a bunch of books; more specifically, I should say, I have written and finished a book, entirely, and seeks its publishing. To this end, I’m going to be launching a crowdfunding venture – mostly to familiarize myself with the platform, but also to underwrite the cost…

    Let’s start off by getting one thing straight: Blind Spots is very good at what it does. It is very good at spreading a slow, underlying unease that is easy to ignore but difficult or impossible to miss in the long run. I really liked this story. Length: 4800 words Genre: Horror Author: Cara Nox…

    EECOM, are we a go for launch? With any luck, we are live. With any more luck, this will all even work. The beginnings of something new, and hopefully kind of cool. Some parts I wish were raw html, but it seems I have a theoretical possibility to do so. We’ll see if I can…
