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.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, right back at ya! And to everyone else on the forum. As always, I continue to be thankful for this community and the respite it brings from the rest of the internet.

Completely random - but after a little over five and a half years, I'm starting a new job tomorrow (assuming my work laptop arrives earlier that FedEx's estimate of "before 8pm".

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!

Congratulations on the new gig, TD…sounds like a great new opportunity!

Good luck! I'm sticking around at my current WFH job until my daughter is done with college or they offshore my position to India, whichever comes first

Wishing you the best of luck! I recently left my job f 18 years+ to start a fully remote job. Same deal as you...I was starting on August 12th, and my laptop and equipment arrived after dark on the 11th. My wife and i spent hours hooking everything up and running though the e-mail about what to download, how to install things, what apps I would need for my phone, etc....only to find out the next day that I was just supposed to hook up the laptop and the monitor, and do all of the other stuff in a zoom meeting with all of my fellow newbies, lol.

Again, best of luck!

Thank Ron! Noticed that James Sallis is also going to be there live at the beginning of December which has me pretty excited as well! Definitely a cool store!

Really? Must be for that new omnibus of his short fiction…definitely looking forward to that one myself.

Have a good time. I need to get myself down there for one of their signings, but I haven't seen anyone stopping there in the last couple of months, since I've been in the area, that caught my interest. Jason Rekulak was the really the only one, and he was only doing one of their remote interviews, not in-person. I also need to get down to one of their Hardboiled Discussion groups one of these days as well...the next two are on Richard Stark and Charles Williams books, which I would've normally been all over if my schedule allowed. Cool store.

Going to the Poisoned Pen Bookstore tonight to see Richard Chizmar do a discussion/signing for his new book Memorials. Very much looking forward to this. May have to bring my copy of Boogeyman to see if he'll personalize as well.
