Okay, Next Crisis

“Okay, Next Crisis” is the companion flash fic for October’s Canon Blast! post, which was about Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy. Just a reminder that Canon Blast! is now exclusively on Patreon, but I’ll post the companion flash on here the month following its appearance on the other site. If you want to keep up with the whole series, in real time, click HERE and maybe become a subscriber?

Suddenly, September

It’s September! August was a good month for stories, for me.

My Great British Bake Off meets Sweeney Todd story, “Too Good, At Least” is available over on Speculative City.
