Joe can’t change back to his pre-accidentContinue reading “Hologram 11 is live! So is Hologram 12! (Counting The Days is complete)”

Great Strange Times 6 review…and I don’t even have my copies yet!
Such is the way of Amazon…Strange Times 6 is finished, it’s approved for sale…and I’m waiting on the creator copies to arrive! (I’d make a “slow boat to China” joke, but Amazon prints their books domestically.) Anyway, someone beat the rush and ordered a copy on their own. Guess they liked it…5 stars!
