From Epic to Labours to Saga: Myth-Making
From Epic to Labours to Saga: Myth-Making One of the most fascinating aspects of myths in general is how there are so frequently variations of the “same” stories.

A Note from the Author on Method
A Note from the Author on Method I’d like to tease a few points about this work-in-progress. These are “The Revelations of the MERCANARY™” … FIRST REVELATION I am not mad.

A Calm Before the Writing Storm
Photo Title: “Distant. Yesterday, I believe.” https://problematicpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/img_20200517_105557_447.jpg I present this pic in which I look half sensible since my social media content over the next few months may appear rather mad.
