My youngest as a very fierce and intense Roman. I love how seriously children take the games they play.

Get your Bond motor running and head out on the bookstore highway as SPY OCTANE: THE VEHICLES OF JAMES BOND is one of the most in-depth, painstakingly researched & beautifully curated 007 tomes. It does not get under the bonnet of the Bond car phenomenon. It IS the bonnet! #SpyOctane #JamesBond #DB5

@herring1967.bsky.social has made his short story 'Wool Boy' available on his substack. Published in my anthology DEAD FUNNY: HORROR STORIES BY COMEDIANS co-edited with @robinince.bsky.social - I remember the absolute delight I felt reading the story for the first time and, yeah, it still rocks.
