I love it when the lack of a plan comes together.
I was extremely nervous about putting Turbulence and Resistance up on Indian Kindle in the complete absence of any kind of selling plan beyond hopeful links on social media.

Resistance Lives! A joyous round 11 (with some Stoob on the side)
Haven’t been posting for the longest time, and this bunch of reviews/interviews/things has been on my mind for a while. Resistance is still doing its thing out there, as we head towards another winter.

Resistance reviews round 10 and that whole Chetan Bhagat thing
