Encyclopocalypse Dispatch #3
Legends & Lore, More Novelizations, and a new book from Paul Kane!
It’s raining AGAIN. Us Southern Californians just aren’t used to this much strange water coming from the sky. We get cold, cranky, and just want it to stop. That said, we’ll also complain about our drought restrictions endlessly.
So, wrapped in a blanket, little dogs cuddled at my feet keeping them warm, I’m sitting here with a freshly brewed cup of tea. And a cup of tea alongside rainy weather is the perfect thing to usher in a new release from our British friend, Paul Kane! More on that in a bit.
Grab yourself a cup of your favorite hot beverage, snuggle up in a blanket, and enjoy this latest dispatch from Encyclopocalypse Publications!
