Hand holding a compass: Schedule ChangeAs I close in on having a readable draft of the current novel-in-progress, I’m changing the schedule for Not about Lumberjacks until I am done with the book.

Until I’m ready to return to a monthly schedule, stories will be released every-other month.

I hope you understand…
