Still here, still alive. Just busy with holiday stuff.

Don't have too much to say just yet... but you might want to watch this space, because I'm planning a Christmas gift for my readers. I'm sorting out the last few details now, and should have things ready to roll within a week or so, if things fall my way...

This one is going to require some backstory, I think.

So back in the halcyon days of 2016, a friend of mine and a long-time reader asked when I was going to get a box set, so he could put his Dire books on the shelf with style.

I do like style.

Problem is, Createspace doesn't seem to support boxed sets. Other problem is, none of the local printers I talked to had any clue how to tackle it. Weird, but there you go.

Last problem is, my friend lives in Singapore. I'm not paying shipping fees to send something to Singapore.

I sat down and thought the problem over, and I had an epiphany; This is 2017, and 3D printers are totally a thing.

So instead of getting a cheap cardboard book box together, I talked to a local artist friend of mine (Book of Holding) and commissioned a 3D printer pattern for a book box.

It is free to my readers forever, or close enough. Here's the link. Be forewarned, it takes a lot of material. Enjoy!
