Hi you! I got nostalgic for livejournal and thought I'd check in and here you are! How's it been going? I see Fur-Face and Barnum's Revenge are out of print - do you have any plans to publish them again sometime? My family and I recently moved and I've suddenly got more time on my hands and am trying to get back into writing again.
