Published by

Over the last couple of months, life has been somewhat surreal. With COVID-19 making half the world housebound and work all but drying up for a scary amount of people I’ve been running myself ragged promoting my novella Confession and finishing the first draft of my follow-up novella, In His Words.

The second idea – again discussed in here previously – revolves around writing an eBook and selling it on Amazon.
