Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 2/23/2013
Due to my state of cat-burglar-like readiness, I hadn’t realized that my arch-nemesis Dave Tackett has been recuperating from a non-free-fiction-related illness. I’m hoping he’ll make a swift and strong recovery.
Meanwhile, I’ve been left with nothing to steal.
