I haven’t posted here in a long while. Medium with it’s bigger audience lured me away. I’m trying to fix that… Cue the Ennio Morricone music… The Gor novels are mostly forgotten nowadays (although Politically Incorrect Games [P.I.G.] have released a Gor game; l have to find the email).

How I’m Getting Back Into Regular Writing
