Happy April Fool’s Day, everyone!
Only two of the essays in this list are legit. Similarly, three of the authors are fake — you’ll find out which ones next month.
One of the real writers wanted me to include this topic in today’s “press release,” but I was afraid it would’ve tipped our hand right away: “Hodor! Hodor!: Tourette’s in Westeros.”
Maybe for the third ebook…
