Howdy howdy, squiders! How’s it going? We’re on spring break this week so all our routines are out of sync, joy of joys. (I did teach the small, mobile ones how to play ERS, Oh Hell, and Hearts, though. Essential
When It Rains, It Pours
Squiders, Hallowed Hill is out! It looks beautiful and I’m really proud of it. And I got all my marketing work done–all the reviewers emailed, copies sent out to those who requested it, promos set up on subsequent days to
T -10 Days
Well, squiders, we’re about 10 days out from Hallowed Hill‘s release. And I am EXHAUSTED. There’s been so much to do. So much to coordinate. So much to check. So far I’ve: I still have some promotions I need to
