Hey there. Shimmer has a limited-time special offer for the holidays. Anyone who buys a subscription to Shimmer between now and the end of the year, gets a signed copy of our holiday chapbook. This year’s holiday story is Christmas Season by Jay Lake.

A subscription is only $17. Already have one? Send Shimmer to a friend for the holidays; we won’t tell them that you kept the chapbook for yourself.

This is the holiday video greeting from a friend’s company. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I had planned on going to see Christmas from Home 1941 last night, as it was my only chance, but about 6:00 realized that I wouldn’t make it unless I took a nap. I did wake up from the nap in time to go. I was just dizzy with fatigue and decided that it was smarter to go to bed for real. I slept from 7:30 last night until 6:30 this morning.

Now I’m unpacking and getting ready for our Christmas party tomorrow.
