or
Journalists, Dragons and Dwarves: Stories of the Cleveland Portal

Side-stepping the world of politics for a moment, I wanted to mention that I'm finally back to writing new material, after doing rewrites of three novels in a row. You'll notice the counters slowly starting to move again as I work on Heretic, the second volume of the Apotheosis trilogy. ...
