Much like most of the visitors to this site, I took a summer vacation from updates. This year I am hoping to have more frequent news updates and some new essays.
You can also visit the Bookstore, contact me, check out the sources and links to other sites, and the FAQ’s (which are still in progress).
If you have any suggestions for other features, please let me know. I’ve considered adding a discussion forum but don’t know if there is enough interest. Also, I don’t have as much time to write essays like I used to, so if you would like to submit one, please contact me.
Thanks!
