Hi, it’s me, Frank J. You may have noticed the new annoying popup. This is to sign up to get email updates about my science fiction and fantasy writing. I know I don’t blog as much anymore or even write columns; that’s because I don’t have much writing time and have devoted the time I have to novel writing and a few other projects. If you’re interested in that, you can sign up and I’ll email you when I have news in that area — which is soon as I have a new fantasy novel coming out. And I am working on a number of other things (including a sequel to Superego). And I’ll include some non-political discussion in the newsletter (this is a politics free newsletter).

As a bonus for signing up, you get a free, never before released short story called Glenda Dragonfire!. To describe it, I’d say it’s like if Sherlock Holmes was born a peasant girl in a medieval fantasy setting. So, if that interests you, sign up.

In case any of this is confusing, I wrote an FAQ!
