The Epilogue Has Been Nominated For An Award!

Okay, okay it's a fictitious award. Don't you hate it when measly facts steal your thunder? I've been nominated for the 'Liebster Award' by way of Chris Votey. The Liebster (Or 'Liebby' as we call it in the biz) is a way to introduce readers to smaller blogs. Basically a chain email of awesome. Along with a signal boost you get a fun Q&A. Here's mine.

Project 200: Making An Introduction

I have long been envious of prolific writers like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, it seems like they have a new book coming out every year and not little books either! I’m fairly certain Stephen King’s recent doorstopper 11/22/63 is considered a deadly weapon in every state but Texas.
