As of Monday, Intervals of Darkness will have been out for a month. I've got an informal sales target tagged to that date, so if you're going to buy it, now would be a good time. And it would be great to get some more reviews at Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever, if you feel inclined.

I'm going to share the weird William Friedkin story that's been stuck in my head almost my whole life. Some folks know this, I guess. But it always blows people's minds.

Beautiful.
