tall tales weekly, vol. i issue 6

announcements

This week I hit a point in my post queue where I can begin stepping away occasionally to work on other projects without running the risk of missing updates. One project I've managed to get some work done on was the first Tall Tales Anthology, which I expect to have available before summer ends. Keep an eye out for details on that!

The other projects I hope to finish in the nearish future now that I have planned a system for shifting between them well include a fantasy story that follows a couple retired adventurers on a quest to restore magic to their world, and a science fiction thriller written entirely as the interactions of a ship's computer and a crewman trying to access records. I'm really excited to share all of this with you!

On a more somber note, today is my son's third birthday, but he isn't home with us right now. With our quarantine over and my wife and I returning to work as essential employees, we made the difficult choice to have them stay with a home-bound relative for a time so they wouldn't be exposed to anything from us. This is going to be a rough week for my wife and me, so please be patient if I'm slow with advertising new posts as they publish.
