Crowvoice clued me in on this – Propaganda press and their mini-chap tiny books of poetry. This is awesome. Man I love indie publishing!
They have just released their latest issue, Ice Age by David S. Pointer. Frikkin 3 dollars and 50 cents, and that includes shipping!
And what is the Pocket Protector mini-chap [...]
Need to bone up on your literary terms? These may not help you impress your agent… but they make her laugh!

I’m back from vacation and a two-day retreat for my day-job. Shwew. I’ts been a long, wonderful week. I thought I would be able to keep up with the blog while I was out but, alas, life was moving too fast.
But I am back, and looking forward to more IndieBookMan fun!
