For those less geeky than me, it's a computer geek nod to all the "Yet Another" programs out there. While I occasionally come up with names for beers (usually conjoined with things I want to try) I haven't been very good about writing them down.

I have a whole post on naming brews gestating in my head, and a beer called "Free Beer" surely has to be on that list (and perhaps one called "Free Kittens")...

Better still, ask your local library (or your own, if you command one) to buy _Powder_. “Take a small press to lunch! Or you could buy Powder, an anthology”.

Me too! New editions of classic bestsellers looking for reviewers! B&T, Ingram, B&N, Amazon, and others carry them, but I must get the word out. Lawrence Schoonover's historic novels in 40-year-old earlier editions are still in hundreds of libraries around the country. I'm his great nephew and I've released newly designed editions of two of them so far (eventually to be nine): Queen's Cross (Isabella of Castile) and Gentle Infidel (the Siege of Constantinople).
