I'm looking forward to Hard Magic - the firearm-descriptive writing is actually a relief after so many authors completely screw it up. (Most authors that write firearm related scenes are terrible, I mean 'he put his Ferrari into 4WD' level of stupid about it) The same goes for archery, though that seems even more idiotic in the current film and television versions. Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it :)

That SUCKS! I was monitoring one of her FaceBook posts a week or so ago and ended up reporting 30+ messages for threats and harassment, based on the nasty jackasses messages, that would be a full time job for 10-20 people. I would seriously think about filing charges against some of the ones that actively threaten death.

Here in Georgia (Atlanta and west) I've had about a dozen ticks on me this year - I actually had to pull one off of a spot on my arm that was actually wet with 100% Deet. Best trick I've found is to turn your pants inside out, spray them down with repellant, then while you wait a minute or two for that to dry, spray your legs up to the knee, your socks and boots/shoes. Don't neglect the waistband of your pants, I've had two ticks get through there as well. Tucking in my shirt didn't help with that, but spraying around my waist with repellant, both on the skin and the clothes, works well. Be very careful spraying this, Deet ate my National Shooting Sports Foundation pin on my hat. It's now bare metal.
