I must admit my browsing history isn't what it used to be, for several reasons. The first is I use a VPN and The Onion if I need to access information that is a little bit dodge, and I've been doing that for a long time.

And we wait …
We've reached the part of the year where there is a lot of 'hurry up and wait' happening. Everything feels like it slows down as Christmas approaches.

You taught me why.
My first main character was pretty awesome. Not in the very beginning of her life, but as I grew into her and she grew into me. As she taught me to let go and trust that I knew how to do this, she became more like a person and less like a collection of words … Continue reading You taught me why.

Let's make life really fucking weird and go for two. I can't even say I'm using this time to create covers and … Continue reading It’s a weird limbo situation:
Scattered on Cloth
Bloody hell it was not easy dragging this story over the finish line. I didn't think I'd even get close for at least another week.
