You may have heard already, but one of our beloved authors James A Moore is currently undergoing cancer treatment. James is a great friend to the army, and when a friend is in need, a call to action is sounded. Which is why the Robot Overlords want to do their best to help James as much as is robot-ly possible, but we need your help too!

For the whole month of August, Angry Robot will be giving 100% of proceeds for any and all of James’ ebooks towards the bill for his treatment. Again, that’s 100% of proceeds for all

Guest Post – Amanda Bridgeman on Curing Crime

by Gemma Creffield January 22, 2019 0 comments
