Darkness falls across the land...

...the midnight hour is close at hand.

Just a quick note before our regularly scheduled Inchworm Post: sometimes I will make mistakes in posts. Words get typed wrong, or mispunctuated, and we're all helpful people, we all like to help. Please, before pointing out a typo, skim to see whether someone else (or six someones) may have already pointed it out. I get cranky when the same things are brought up repeatedly before I can fix them, and that isn't fair of me. I'm only human.

This is the current shape of my 2013, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you sometime in the months to come.

...just looking at that makes me tired.

I need a nap.

And the ghost of lost love whispers...

It's time to go back to Jonathan Healy and Frances Brown, as they settle down into their lives in Buckley Township, Michigan, and get ready to face what lies ahead. The next step? Marriage, of course, assuming they can make it to the altar...

A new Jonathan and Fran story, "Married in Green," has been posted on the InCryptid short fiction page. It is once again available in ePub, MOBI, and PDF formats, and is free for download. Please download, rather than trying to read locally! We do not want to swamp my server.

All cover graphics are by Tara O'Shea (be sure to admire the awesome cover she did for "Bad Dream Girl," which is new to the page). All electronic conversion thus far has been done by scifantasy. As both of them are awesome, we applaud them now.

Enjoy the adventure!

This post will also serve as the open thread, so expect spoilers in the comments.
