      Some of you may actually remembering me moving from Washington to Colorado in March of 2019 for this job. Well, an opportunity presented itself that I couldn't say no to. It was a hard decision, especially since I was walking away from a year-end bonus of about $10k. Yes, I was getting a small salary increase, but this opportunity would give me more opportunity to expand my knowledge and training, plus allow me to focus on what I enjoyed about my last/current job without all of the bureaucracy.

      At least this job doesn't require me to move - it's 100% remote.

      So yay me I guess.
      Huge congrats to you!

                Anyone having black Friday sales? Between naps I may need to check a few sites out.

                  Haven’t seen much so far.

                  PS Publishing had some good sales in their newsletter yesterday.

                  If you get the Subterranean Press newsletter, they had a handful of books on sale through the weekend.

                  I picked up a book from Sub Press this morning and will probably get a few from PS if no other book sales happen this weekend.

                    Tonight's Sallis event was cancelled, unfortunately.

                      Yeah, was planning to go and received that email while I was at work. Very glad that they sent it as I was able to alter my plans, but it was a bummer. I know he's been dealing with some health issues and hope he recovers.

                        First time in a long time but purchased Christmas gifts from B&N. Typically gift some type of trade that is signed or something a little special but this year my kiddos (who are adults) will be getting plain old HC's.

                          I visited my local B&N here in my new home state of AZ, and was very impressed by the Horror department selection (and of the store in general). I know they’ve made improvements since their sale a few years ago and I saw some of that back in WA state, but this AZ store took it to a new level. I wasn’t prepared to buy, but if I was I could’ve dropped a couple hundred bucks easy. It was great to see.

                            They have a pretty decent layout, have broken out horror from fiction, and carry a nice little selection of smaller named authors in this smaller genre. I was pleasantly surprised.

                            I could have added some books to my TBR pile but abstained.
