I suspect I’m being tricked, the world is conspiring to make believe it’s October 17 when it was just September 1 like two days ago, but here it is, another mid-October and I haven’t got copies of the new Hellarkey in the mail yet. I’m laying out and printing the new issue today and if my kids want candy this year they will staple for me tomorrow.

The price this year is $10. This seems high, but we have to pay the writers. If $10 is too high, I did set up a discount: the code BLOODDIMMEDTIDE will take $5 off any order, not just Hellarkey.

Order Hellarkey V!

In other news, I am struggling to balance Malarkey with teaching. I’ve had to push back publication of The Inaccessible Rail by Roger Vaillancourt. It was slated to be out now, actually, but we are going to wait until after the new year. If you’re in this year’s book club you’ll still get a copy, but just a few months late. Sorry.

We have some really lovely books in the pipeline. Members of the book club get them in the mail without having to remember to order them.
