Missed a blog post because I’m going down south to be at my sister’s wedding. Making bit of a vacation out of it, so I was at the Atlanta Zoo today. So here is a cute panda picture:

Dragons and Dwarves: Stories of the Cleveland Portal

Just a little small celebratory post, I’ve passed the halfway mark in both the Apotheosis trilogy and the current book Heretics.
