An independent publishing co-op
Readers ask all the time where authors get their ideas. But first, I need to bring something to everyone’s attention. If you hang out on science websites at all, I imagine you’ve heard about Comet 3I/Atlas that’s visiting our solar system right now. In case you missed it, it’s an unusual little guy. The tail…
Hey, kids. It’s been a minute. I’ve also been overloaded and under the weather. Crymsyn and I had a fantastic time at SC Horror, but I also came home with a lovely case of Covid, which means I’ve been pretty useless the last two weeks. HOWEVER… we’re back in action today and onto a little…
