It's time for me to admit I'm not really posting here on Blogger anymore. I'll still keep this blog online (as long as Blogger continues to exist) as a record of nearly 2 decades of writing, but I don't expect to be adding to it.

If you want to see what I'm up to now, come find me on Medium or Substack!

Ian liked Kevin's review of Striper Assassin (Shadowrun): "the schlockiest, cheesiest, over the top noir, fast-paced bullshit in the entire world. i love every single one of these stupid Shadowrun novels and i'm not sorry."
