Happy New Year! A new chapter of Imitation & Alchemy

Happy New Year, everyone!  It’s been one of those weekends for me. Nice, but busy. Hence the delay in the next chapter of Imitation & Alchemy. Sometimes you need to post on your website, and other times you need to watch Lord of the Rings with your ten-year-old and put Legos together. I hope you …

Imitation & Alchemy: Chapter Four #freefiction #urbanfantasy

You thought I forgot about Benzin today, didn’t you??? I didn’t. Truly. But before it could be Benzin Saturday, it had to be Christmas Tree Saturday and then it was Christmas Decorating Saturday, and then it was Christmas Party Saturday and then… I came home around 10 pm.
