Thanks, Eryn! There are a few that are unfortunately bound not to be "keepers", but so far the collection remains intact.
Also, how the heck are ya?? Haven't chatted in a long time, my friend! πŸ₯°

With all the new additions to my growing TBR pile, I wonder whether something of a strategic culling of my library might be in order. Gah! I can feel a swoon coming on. 😳

Thanks for the shoutout, Keith! Cheers to you!
I thought for a sec there were two links there, one for my work on Punk Noir Mag, and the recent one at Bunker Squirrel as well.

Sometimes it's important/difficult/heart-wrenching to get sibling-honest feedback, isn't it?

Ever so thankful my editors' and readers' feedback has been honest and always makes the writing better!

Almost a contradiction in terms this time of year: rainy + November. We've been ever so fortunate so far. 😊

I'm sure you would get used to it, Benjamin. You must've read lots of different things and headed in different directions as you explored what YOU like to write, after all.

Thanks! I've not read with any depth at all into the genre, so it's fun to start exploring.
