Kicking Sunday off with this reminder: If you didn't catch it earlier, a new short story, "Adoption Day", was posted this week! Scroll up or click here to read it.

Adoption Day: A new short story! (Post #450)

Here's the surprise I promised for the 450th post on this blog: A new short story! It features Henrietta Honeycutt and Duncan Wizansky, two characters who debuted in Redblade (needless to say, there are spoilers ahead). It's a slice of life story, much like "That's Amore", and there's only a little magic...unless the magic in the human heart counts.

If you like this, feel free to leave a comment or drop me a line, and you're welcome to share the link all over social media! Spread the word! And read on...after the cut.

More after the cut, including a look at Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. Warning: Spoilers!

it's that time again...

First, Francophone Fridays will return next week. Things have been crazy at my day job lately, and I haven't been able to put in the time to get the next post done as it should be. I think it's going to be a good one, so stay tuned!

But we have something else to discuss.

Every year, John Kovalic - the cartoonist behind the great gaming webcomic Dork Tower, and the gaming illustrator best known for his work on Munchkin - takes part in a bike ride to help a charity in his home of Madison, WI. Bike The Barns raises funds to help bring locally-grown organic food from farmers to needy families. That is one heck of a win-win.

And every year, John sets a fundraising goal, reaches it, and bikes the entire 60 miles...with a duck on his head.

This year, the goal is $7500. If he hits $10,000, he'll also wear tentacles.

You get all sorts of goodies for backing him, even if you don't live anywhere near Wisconsin. A $20 donation will get you a Munchkin postcard, a "Army of Dorkness" button, two coloring book PDFs, and a PDF of a print with a duck limerick illustrated by John...and written by Patrick Rothfuss.

And if you up the donation to $50, you get the art as an actual mini-print...signed by both John and Patrick.

So, get your browsers over to the Bike The Barns page and donate already! The fundraising started late this year, but there's still time to help a good cause...

And even better, make a grown man wear a duck on his head. Again.
