I wasn't too happy with how my monthly story for March, Vault, turned out. I went into that month planning to do a flash piece based on a list of what was in an ancient vault. I was writing this in February, already a short month, and I knew I wouldn't be able to work …

Monthly Writing Prompts Challenge #4 – Liberate
After dropping the ball last month, I'm back with a story I'm happy with for Monthly Story #4. This is Liberate, my latest shot at a dystopia.

2025 Book Bingo Reviews #3
I got another bingo on my Book Bingo Card, so now it's time for some reviews. I'm making a lot of progress on this card. Not sure if I'll be able to finish it, but for now I have five good books to talk about. This was a very horror focused line, which is not …
