As a writer, one of the biggest lessons I learned in 2021 was the importance of taking breaks. For the past 6 or 7 years, I really hadn’t taken any breaks from writing. It was one short story to the next. One novel to the next. I’d alternate between revising and drafting, but I’d doContinue reading “A Lesson from 2021: Take a Break”

I think it’s a little too late now for an awards eligibility post, but I’ll still do a quick recap of my publications from 2021.

Book Review: Elysium Girls
If you like weird west stories and chosen one narratives, then read Elysium Girls.

While I did enjoy the book, I didn’t find myself as immersedContinue reading “Book Review: Elysium Girls”

It wasn’t too hard to fall back into this world, and by the time I was about 30%Continue reading “Book Review: A Dream So Dark”
