October has been a bit of a joke month. I've moved house, my sister's had her new baby, I've worked a lot, and been working on a whole lot of short fiction, from brand spankin' new ones, to older ones - including one older one set to be published in the next couple of weeks! Projects… Continue reading Monthly Round Up
