Brief Housekeeping Note + Buy a Thing

Posted on 10:26 by rendy orton
Sorry for the quiet period. Nothing in my gaming life has piqued my interest lately, so I haven't had much to say. That being said, I just re-played Knights of the Old Republic II, so I've got a few different essays inspired by that that are percolating.

On a less boring note, a short story of mine will be published soon in the awesome-looking new anthology The Way We Sleep. The story is really short, but it's one of my favorite things I've written, and I'm super excited that something I created is going to be in a book with work from people like Maria Bamford, a softer world's Joey Comeau and Emily Horne, and super-awesome science writer Mary Roach (plus all the other amazing people involved in this book, seriously, look at that contributor's list).

If you're interested, the book is available for pre-order here for $14, free shipping in the US.
