I've resisted as long as I could, but the dark side has taken me -- I've started publishing my material on Amazon. It's a new thing so far with only Lifeswap available as a Kindle download (with a slight facelift -- the story is the same, but I've tweaked some of the bits I felt needed tweaking). The plan for the next few weeks (months?) is to do the same with some of the other stories I've posted here, making anthologies of the shorter works so each work will be 100k words or above, and making them available in digital or dead tree format.

Thanks to the love and care of family, the lurgi seems to be subsiding somewhat. I managed to write a bit last night after I woke myself up in a coughing fit, and whatever that may sound like it, it is an improvement on the last week and a bit. I'm hopeful that I may have a post within the next week or so, but please don't hold me to it.
