Day 4,278 of being a published author and I'm still not wealthy and successful.
Beginning to think writing fucked-up fantasy might not be the path to fame and fortune.
Will write a few more just to be sure.

Dear humans who think I am going to pay them for reviews,
I am not.
It would be dishonest and disingenuous of me and I prefer to like the kind of person I am.

I figure # of reviews must at least KINDA mirror sales.
But yeah, hotter undead chicks always sell better.

A thousand years ago I used to do live sound at a bunch of different Toronto clubs. I just stumbled across one of my favourite bands from that time on Spotify.
I did sound for them at Holy Joe's, on the third floor of the Big Bop (AKA Reverb) building.
