A Toast to Raw Dog Screaming…and a Discount!

If you'll indulge me for a moment: please pick up your wine glass, water bottle or coffee mug. I want to raise a high toast to a great publisher. This year marks Raw Dog Screaming Press' fifth anniversary.

Soon…soon…

Intrepid surfer, you have found the brand new Goreletter blog before it has gone live! The Goreletter is my creative workspace & author's newsletter; the blog is a working sketchbook for that missive and -- upon recently changing to a new webhost -- I have decided to expand it and revise it from the bottom up, to make it more accessible for "web 2.0" readers.
