I don't yell about my books enough and I probably should. Do you like fungi? queer rebels? ancient gods? patchwork cities with all sorts of seediness between the seams? You'd like my stuff.

Lots of current activity in AoNZ is because of political decisions or has political impacts. More low key posts may be on other media.
