As I'm between work payments & trying to take care of bills and such, you can help me out a lot by buying one of my games on Itch or by making a donation to my Ko-Fi! I recommend checking out THE GOD OF SPITE AND VIOLENCE if you haven't already! ko-fi.com/s/1ff8f2b883

You should go look at this kickstarter, because perhaps you, like me, TOTALLY THOUGHT you had already backed this project but you had ACTUALLY NOT and you might have MISSED OUT ON THIS GLORIOUSNESS which would be an ACTUAL CRIME.

What a warm review of BREATH WARMTH AND DREAM. It makes me feel as if the time I ask from readers' lives isn't just a greedy hoarding of essence for my own sake, and I like that feeling. I will not take from you. Book love is good love.
