GET BACK TO WORK!
GET TO WORK HURLEY is back in monthly form. Lots of topics covered in fresh, bite-sized episodes – everything from writing questions to current pop culture and my favorite local place for tasty nachos.

In BODIES IN SPACE, Madigan Orakau has been summoned to the shit-end of the local system to complete a job in the barely-habitable, blue-tinged desert of Hevasia. But the job the locals think she’s doing isn’t the one she’s on. And this one will end in blood. If you’re a Patreon supporter, you can download it as a PDF, Mobi, or Epub file.
Spring is Sprung!
And finally, some spring photos from around the garden:
