I’m querying my book, shopping around a short story, plotting the next book, and exploring more short story ideas all the while embracing the fact that I’ll always wear multiple hats and that’s not just okay, that’s GOOD. It’s been a TIME but it’s been an expansive one.

The result has been richer, more immersive worlds.
