Smugglers’ Stash and News

Good morning all! Now that we celebrated our 3rd Blogversary, now that Smugglivus is over, it’s time to get back on track (did you think we were going to take a break? HA! Smugglivus was our break!) with our regular schedule.

But first, a few bits and bobs.

We have a few winners to announce! First up, the awesome Swag from Tor! The three winners are:
