#WriteCBC task from Anna Davis: I'd you to write a mini-scene or story which features a goodbye. It can be poignant, humorous, dark, exciting, strange or whatever you like. Your goodbye should be the end of something and also a beginning – make me want to read on!

Jacques glared at the foreigners marching through Paris. Austrians. Russians. Prussians. The smirks on their faces as they marched across his former regiment, huddling in the cafes, stung him badly.

Hey, like dystopian sci-fi with a pulpy edge? My novella, Unlucky Evens, Cursed Odds is free on ebook until Sunday! ☢️☢️☢️💜💜💜

My wife surprised me with this from the library! Hoping to fall in love with Murakami again. @drjohnmauro.bsky.social seemed to enjoy it!

No one writes parenthood like @andrewdmth.bsky.social Straight up levels of understanding is one thing but putting it down on a page is another. Parents know.

Caught up in less than a year!

What do you get when you mix battles, betrayals, and character-driven plot?

New review on FanFiAddict! Unlucky Evens, Cursed Odds by @williamjadams3.bsky.social reminded me a lot of the stories that drew me to be a teacher—those dystopian Sci-fi tales that warn of us humanity’s hubris.

I strongly recommend checking out this novella!
