Doomtown Prints on eBay

My son Marty’s putting up more of my old stuff on eBay now that school’s out. He just stumbled across a pair of art prints I’d forgotten I had.

New Reviews

A pair of great reviews showed up recently. The first is for Star Wars vs. Star Trek, and Earl Davis wrote it for the Empyrean.

Happy Birthday, Quads!

I had a wonderful, jam-packed weekend, most of which was spent celebrating the ninth birthday of my quadruplet kids: Pat, Nick, Ken, and Helen.
