COG cover art for Dog Star Books

Earlier I announced new things are coming for Raw Dog Screaming Press -- not the least of which is the rerelease of my novel Play Dead in paperback and ebook in the year to come.

Thanks to all who visited campus, dropped by my table, and picked up copies of The Gorelets Omnibus, Many Genres, One Craft, Play…
