Also, I am currently trying to pack my bags for a weekend away at a medieval festival and jousting tournament, so I don’t have time to make a Minoen-themed metal mixtape like I planned.

Hello!) “Up the Irons” is a not-quite-regular feature where I throw a big ole’ metal horns at everything good happening at the moment. It’s like “Things I Love Thursday”, but more metal.

This will hopefully happen within the next three weeks. It’s crazy – the last hundred pages of edits take me as long to complete as writing an entire new novel. [...]
