It is my birthday.
I dare not say how old I am, though I will say that I have only one more birthday after this one where I can say I am not yet 40. Holy crap, 40? Who let that happen? *shudder*
Anyway, it’s my birthday, and I would like to Reverse the Natal Polarity and give you something.
This is 500 Ways To Tell A Better Story.
You’ll find that I’m tossing you PDF, ePub, and Kindle versions.
Link good for today only.
So, enjoy that.
Also, today, Zazzle has a 22% off deal going on their merch with code:
EARTHDAYDEAL
That works on all the Terribleminds Merch (mugs, shirts, flask).
Enjoy the stuff.
If you wanna do something nice for me (AND YOU DO *hypnobeard on*), then please check out some of my books, or leave a review, or tend the fires of my raging Narcissism in some other way.
KAY THANKS BYE

Happy Birthday dude! I’m gonna crack a bottle of my home-made apple wine in celebration later and then write you the best damn review I can muster if I’m still able.

Happy birthday. And thanks for the present! As someone who has surpassed the 50th threshold, it actually gets better. In fact, I’ve taken to celebrating my kids’ birthday year instead of my own…so I guess I’ll be turning 30 next week. And I tell you what, having kids in their 30’s is like taking an early retirement. The messy parts are over with.
