2023: A Summary
2023: A SummaryThe majority of 2023 was spent focusing on novels and novellas, rather than writing and submitting short stories. I only had one short story published last year, which you can read below. It's available for free on the website of the Blackwick Writers Guild, a writing group that is local to Denver. (In the interest of full disclosure, I am a co-founder of this writing group! If you are a writer in the Denver area looking for a group of fellow creatives, please feel free to reach out to me for more information.) |

"Proprietary Technology" "Two Earthlings"...
What I've been up to: I had 3 short stories come out in September! All 3 were released in the span of a week, so I'm still catching up on all the marketing for them. One was a complete surprise, too!
