“Pass the word for Chief Campeti. Have him issue rifles and sidearms to any deck personnel not part of the gun crews. Prepare to repel boarders.” Matt was struck by the strangeness of the order even as he gave it. Probably not since the War of 1812 had the captain of a U.S. warship given the order to repel boarders on the high seas.
— Taylor Anderson, Into the Storm: Destroyermen, Book I

Victories

Tyree will be attending MidSouthCon. He is up for a Darrow award. Maybe Rick Gervais will present it.

I sent my piece out to a fifth beta reader.

Cuiun wrote a declaration for the artists initiative against Romaphobia, which was signed by Dr. Ian Hancock, President of the Romani Nation in the United States. I wrote a declaration on a men’s room wall once, it was not as enthusiastically received.

News
