Heavens, I thought I was lost in cyberspace when I arrived here today…
Changes, changes! I was so sick of the old look. Don’t know if this’ll be permanent, but it’s not that old look, which is good.
Very nice but can’t find Howard’s bibliography! Consternation!
That would be because I accidentally deleted it! Dang. I’ve restored it from a backup, but it’s from about Feb 2008. I know there are probably one or two stories missing that are recent – I’ll need to fix that as soon as I can. The web address should be the same, though.
