Torquere Press closing

Due to my publisher closing and the questionable practices they're following meantime, I am removing all buy links to the books I have published with them.

WIPs updates

I want to use this blog more often and more regularly, so I'm going to start with something simple: weekly updates of my works-in-progress.

I meant to do one yesterday and one today, but yesterday was so busy that every time I thought, "I need to do that interview thing" I'd get distracted by something else, and suddenly it was midnight. So you get an interview with Leo and Stuart together, which… Continue reading 3 days until Cartography for Beginners

One such character is David Campbell, who was a part of Cartography For Beginners from the start though he made his first appearance in Apples & Gin.
