(This is another one of the stories that are based on my real life. Except, you know, with magic and other fantasy elements added in.) Attempting to commune with the diverse spirits that inhabit this plane is a tricky proposition. Spirits are just as prone to games and falsifications as their material counterparts, which is to … More The Outing (part 1)

A new review is up on Goodreads! And it is another five-star review! As you all have probably noticed, I am trying really hard to convince everyone to buy my next book.
