I'm back.
Hey everyone. I took a month off for Christmas and now that the decorations are down, I'm back to work.
It should be a good writing year if I don't encounter too many monkey wrenches.
First up is a short story submission, that I will send out today. I have three novels in the queue for this year, two writers' Retreats, my podcast season 3, and a lot of adventures planned.
