Pat's Fantasy Hotlist: Now entering Stanek country. . .

Now entering Stanek country. . .

Well folks,

This afternoon I arrived in Ruse, Bulgaria. Country number 43 for me. . .

Then I realized that I was entering one of the countries where Robert Stanek is supposedly a bestselling author.

I am humbled. . .

Highly unlikely in any other case.; 5:38 PM

Stanek went from having several sockpuppet fans to over 9000 in a month, so I suspect he used one of these services; 9:18 AM
