Readers (and book bloggers) are just the best
So, Alice in No-Man’s-Land has been out for a week or two now. It hasn’t jumped to the top of the NYT Bestseller list of course, but it’s getting a very good response so far. More or less everything has gone about as I expected so far – the ‘having to coordinate everything yourself’ part, …

Second on the menu from my Christmas gift of unique meats was the wild boar. I received two thick chops, and since it’s just me and Kim I decided to thaw one now and save one for later. The meat is similar to pork (not surprisingly) but is much darker. Not red like beef, just …
