SF Author James S. Aaron

I contributed to a four part novella along with Rick Partlow, L.L. Richman and Jeffery H. Haskell in this new anthology that’s packed with military science fiction greats. Express Elevator to Hell is up for pre-order now, and free to read on Kindle Unlimited.

Bought a used notebook at the thrift store

and peeled off the price tag to find the previous owner’s label. Too bad the journal was blank.

This copy of Dune has seen some stuff

Spotted this library binding copy Dune at the local thrift store. It had been ridden hard but was in very readable condition. I put it back for someone else to enjoy. I’ve already got too many copies of Dune.

Catching the White Wolf

I went down the rabbit hole on Robert Gould, the cover artist for several Elric novels I read as a kid. A seller on ebay had several prints from the 1990 Worldcon still available for a good price and I grabbed one up. Always liked this cover with Stormbringer.

Buy-Nothing January 2024

A list of impulse purchases as they occur to me this month. Normally I would jump to Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress, etc, and buy these things if they’re under $50. This month I decided not to do that. This won’t include necessities like gas or groceries.

I’ll re-evaluate this at the end of the month and see what I really need. I might push this longer than a month.
