Here's your chance to stick it to Amazon by getting a $35 book for cheap. P.S. I probably make very little from this, but I'm not here to get rich. Might be a good time to buy Books 1 and 2 and give them to someone you love for Christmas.

Shout out to the second person to give 5 stars to Ursula of Ulm on Amazon. The follow-up to Shagduk has flown under the radar since it came out, perhaps because few are aware of it. If you read and loved Shagduk, know that Ursula of Ulm came out last year. Enjoy, and thank you!

As promised, here is the Spotify link to the Ursula of Ulm playlist. Unfortunately, they didn't have Richard Nixon's piano concerto. If you want to hear it that bad, it's probably out there somewhere.

Shagduk predates Satan by millennia and wasn't known to the author of this book.

Ernie Gygax has passed away too soon. I am grateful to him for our long chats about fantasy literature, the mating habits of xorn, and for his support for Shagduk and honoring it as an Appendix N title. And for getting me back into Margaret St. Clair. And for his DMing tips. And his sense of humor. Mashik baya, friend! Until we meet again in the Happy Hunting Grounds.

A teaser from "Der Schleim." The short story can be found in Ursula of Ulm as well as the Pilum Press anthology Death Flex.

Great turnout Tuesday night! Many thanks to NPR's Peter Robinson, the staff of Sausalito Books by the Bay, and the kind people in attendance who asked really great questions.
