One thing I've neglected over the years is Goodreads. I'm finally dusting off my author page and would love to connect with fellow readers and writers there. If we're already connected here and you're on Goodreads too, I'd be delighted to connect there as well. Friend requests are always welcome.

After years in the dark, Zombie Logic Press is open again. We've rebuilt the catalog, recovered lost files, restored book descriptions, and gathered a number of old titles in one place. No grand opening. Just turning the lights back on. sites.google.com/view/zombiel... #poetry
