Missives from Highland Lake

I'm up at the family cottage on Highland Lake this week, enjoying some sorely needed PTO.

I did get out an issue of Arcane Arts, which you can read here. And remember to click "subscribe."

I also got in some quality time with my friend Tom Barber, who left me a mighty gift: 10 classic paperbacks, most published by Zebra in the 1970s, all with his cover art.

In return I gave Tom a ride on the pontoon boat on a beautiful, 10/10 afternoon.

Enjoy your time off.

If you don't mind I am going to plug a story of mine:

Sounds like a lovely time! I actually have a copy of that edition of Tros of Samothrace, though I haven't read it yet. I found it at my local used bookstore.

We had a great catchup! I do this annually with Tom :) Hold on to that Tros...
