And I've been working really hard on my website. There is still some work it do on the blog and make the Contact page prettier, but I think I got something good here.

One question has been on my mind for a while.
Mr. Herne, what's your beef with Denny's? I get that it's not great food, nearly more of a fastfood chain, but... you take a stab at it in ever series. Even the Seven Kennings which is not set on Earth at all, I am convinced.

@kevinhearne.bsky.social Life is short and I am reminded to tell people my mind. I wanted to tell you that you and Luke Daniels have brought so much joy to my life. I love everything thing you write. Every world you build. Every pun you sneak in. Every prose you craft.
I hope you're well.
