I’m going to keep things like book reviews and convention shenanigans here, but if you would like to hear my rants about silly things like video games and my pets, head over to https://www.patreon.com/Sam

“A poet is a musician that can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart, and some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
