Long awaited site updates

Ok, maybe not so long awaited for the vast majority (and hopefully all) of humanity.  Just added a brief 'about the author' thingy (yes that is the appropriate scientific descriptor) and put in more purchase links for The Greylands.  Also put a note behind the free books so you know where to get them. 

Random book plug

Need a nice little story for the dog days of summer?  Why not try A Dash for the Throne by Arthur W. Marchmont over at project Gutenberg:  http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40907  A little adventure, some romance, and a bit of history and mistaken identity make for an amusing read.

On puce

Puce is one of those words that mystifies the masses yet few of us truly know what color this color really is.  I always imagined it as a hideous greenish purplish grey but it is actually a rather nice reddish brown, now you know too!  As to what this has to do with my literary career, on that I have no idea.

Another good excuse

I hate August, it is one of those interminable months like November or March when you are waiting for the last season to get over with and the next to start and the weather really isn't all that great.  The glory of summer has faded yet the splendor of fall has not yet come.  It is hot, dry, dusty, and those wretched cicadas sound like an audible migraine.  Might as well read a book!
