Time enough at last

Approximately 140 million books have been published in all of modern history. Between 600,000 and 1 million new books are published each year. This year I am on track to read more than 100 books, but in a normal year I read about 50 or so. At that rate, if all new publication ceased, it would take me about 2.8 million years to read every published book.

I might have to pick up the pace somewhat.

The barbarian’s new home

In early June I wrote about my decision to pull two stories from publication shortly before their respective anthologies were published. I’m pleased to announce that “Krarg the Barbarian vs. the Fair” has found a new home, and is scheduled for publication in KZine Magazine #31, due out in September 2021. KZine, you may remember, published my horror story “Code Gray.” I’m delighted to see my work return to this great magazine.
