Excellent!
Today's Patreon post went live. And it has actual facts for the math-challenged among us #writers. Also, why #readers rule. (And why traditional publishing is doing it all wrong.)

5 movies better than the story:

2. The 13th Warrior (Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton)
3. Planet of the Apes (1968) (Monkey Planet by Pierre Boulle)
4. The Thing (1982) (Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell)
5. Jaws (Jaws by Peter Benchley)
HUTπ! HUT π! HIKE π!
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the TannhΓ€user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner, 1982.
Woohoo! Scifi/horror story accepted by a fine publication! Nice to get back in the grove after an long, troublesome interstate move and some health issues. More to follow!
