Thousands of giant data centres later, in an environmental wasteland sucked dry of resources, the tech bros finally create an artificial super-intelligence. It boots up, takes a good look around, and its first words are:

Make a spreadsheet. List cooking times (and resting for protein), device (oven, crock pot, stove top, smoker, grill, etc) and temperatures. Work backwards from when dinner is ready. Project manage this fucker.
most people just aren’t going to magically know how to juggle all those dishes just because it’s a holiday. there’s no shame in doing a couple of things really well

The Green Man's Holiday has over 60 ratings/reviews on Amazon and on Goodreads. These things do help with visibility in these algorithm-driven days, and that's absolutely vital for a small press book. Thank you, everyone who's found a moment to do this, from all of us writers, editors, publicists.

We all agree that it’s weird that himself has about three hundred (300) tee-shirts, don’t we? All either band, convention, or penguin themed and grouped into summer (light coloured) or winter (dark coloured) sets.
But it’s not weird that I still haven’t opened my Easter egg.
In November.
