Oh, we're bound for Mother Carey where she feeds her chicks at sea
Good morning! It is now what
selkie has informed me I am legally obliged to term the "book birthday."
Forget the Sleepless Shores is now live in the wild. You can buy it from the publisher's website. You can buy it from Amazon. You can buy it from Barnes & Noble. You can buy it in person from the Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council or Pandemonium Books & Games and I will sign it for you. You can buy it from your local independent bookstore and I will approve of keeping small businesses alive. It makes excellent beach reading and an elegant gift. It is my first fiction collection since 2005 and I am very proud of it.

Not every story in this book is a sea-story, but the sea moves underneath so many of them that I consider it an especially appropriate release for this season that I used to spend as much in the Atlantic as humanly possible. I learned to swim in the July-cold water off Cape Elizabeth, open-eyed to the salt. Even now, I don't feel I've had a summer unless I've been to the sea. Thank you to Steve Berman of Lethe Press for publishing this collection and to every editor who first gave its stories a home. Now you can drown in them, too.

Love the author photo, is the coat supposed to match the one on the cover? SUPER EXCITED TO DROWN (wait that came out wrong, or maybe not).

I love that this book is here. You did it. You did. Don't let these times make you doubt the worth of your art and the value of sharing it with the world.

Also, I had not previously noted that the colours of the coats of the dude on the cover and of the author in the photo are pretty much the same, which is either an incredibly awesome coincidence or really awesome cover design.
