Non-fiction, about 4,000 words. This past weekend (March 23 and 24, 2019, for anyone reading this in the not-so-near future), I went to the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida.

That's right, I've decided on the title for my debut New Adult fantasy novel. The Dreams of Unborn Gods is undergoing the last edits before I submit the manuscript to beta readers for a final round of critiquing. One more round of edits after that, and then.... Will I self-publish or try the traditional publishing... Continue Reading →
The following is a fiction piece of exactly 100 words, according to Microsoft Word. Enjoy! · The sight of mingling coworkers, bobbing and swaying in their greens and reds, made me nauseous.
