Final Notes:

You have about one week before Christmas, so get in any orders at Amazon or wherever in now to guarantee that they'll arrive in time.

And if you appreciate what I've done here this year, and would like to show it, I have relevant Wish Lists at Amazon: Fiction, History, Art Books.

It's been a good year all around for the indie scene as OldPub's collapse accelerates and foreign-origin media moves in to fill the void; younger people are reading, just not OldPub trash, and digital is ascendant for that reason- webnovels are a thing.

Watch this space for an imminent announcement of my own next week.
