Here are six ways you can find me at this weekend’s Crypticon convention in Seattle…
And find me, you should, if you want to get ridiculously low pre-order pricing on my new book with Clay Vermulm, Rain Shadows…
And you should get that ridiculously low pricing because you are going to want to buy this book, given all the praise it’s getting!
