There are updates to the galleries at ColleenDoran.com. Check ’em out. The noble and gracious SONIA TAN crosses my palm with silver and sponsors A Distant Soil today with a hat tip in the jar! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks to Bob Heer, whose sponsorship of A Distant Soil brings you today’s thrilling romantic entanglement. Thanks so much, Bob!

This scene has gotten my book into hot water in libraries, primarily because Rieken is often mistaken for a woman. Apparently, those objecting to the book have not been bothered enough to read it. An article with a mention of this troubling romantic moment appeared at Media Bistro. And now it’s on the internet, corrupting your morals. Today’s thrilling spectacle was brought to you by Anthony Soderquist. Thank you so very much for your kind support of my work! Enjoy the goodies.

OK all, come back on Monday to see if they get it on, or if D’mer shows up and kicks Bast’s butt. Our biggest patron of all time is the uber-awesome Allan Harvey, and we send many many thanks for years of kindness and cheerleading!

O noble and wondrous Torsten Adair, you grace my humble talents with your patronage! I am bloated with acceptance!!! Thank you for your uber-generosity! Your hat tip brains me with shekels!

Our sponsor for today is the much appreciated, long-time A Distant Soil fan Miki Anamanthadoo! THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKI!!!

I send my warm and grateful thanks to Michaelle Frey! I am so glad you like A Distant Soil! Enjoy the stuff!

Our noble patron today is BRIAN HOLST. Brian is one of my biggest supporters, and I am deeply grateful. Warm hugs all the way to Sweden!

Most sincere thanks to Alejandro Valdes who tipped the hat jar and got himself a nifty Neil Gaiman signed book! Thank you so much and warmest wishes to you! THANKS FOR READING! We’ll be back on Monday with M-F posts!
