Behold, a stack of November Pandi Pack shipments, which have reportedly taken over every room at Pandi Press headquarters. (Picture courtesy of Pandi Press)

So yes, they are shipping now. There will be a slight pause for the American Thanksgiving holiday, and then shipments will continue. A reminder that the pack is sold out. Thanks to everyone who ordered. I am told you made this the company’s most successful pack ever.

There’s a new episode of KEENEVERSATIONS available on Patreon, Spotify, and Apple. This week I discuss the popularity of the post-apocalyptic genre, from 1901’s The Purple Cloud up through today’s Fallout. Listen here.

Pretty productive day yesterday. I made a post office run and a Vortex warehouse run, bid Mary goodbye (she headed up to New Jersey for the holiday), and then spent most of the rest of the day and evening in my office, working on FALLING ANGELS: THE LABYRINTH Book 4 and my story for The Overlook anthology while listening to records — Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush, The Clash’s Combat Rock, The Knack’s Get the Knack, Kix’s Cool Kids, and Greg Kihn’s Kihnspiracy.

To the best of my knowledge, I never got to meet Greg Kihn, but I would have liked to. In addition to nearly two dozen albums, the guy wrote five horror novels, one mystery, and edited an anthology. Died from complications of Alzheimer’s last year. I’m told by mutual friends that we would have gotten along.

If you read one thing today, make it this printer review. And yes, I’m serious. This is currently the greatest thing ever.
