Story Recommendations – November 2021
For the November edition of my monthly short story recommendations, I've finally started to work through my backlog of Daily Science Fiction stories.

Story Recommendations – December 2020
Minority Report by Philip K. Dick (Minority Report and other stories): This is an older piece, and it does show in the writing. However, the premise and the plot was interesting enough that it was worth recommending regardless. Like all of the best Philip K. Dick stories, the premise isn't just original but also strongly … Continue reading Story Recommendations – December 2020
My 2019 as an Author
It's that time a year, or rather, it has been that time a year already and I'm just late to the party. Anyways, it's time for recaps and summaries and lists of how things went throughout the year. 2019 wasn't exactly the year I had my big break through, finally sold a ton of short … Continue reading My 2019 as an Author
