M.D. Neu is an award-winning inclusive gay Fiction Writer with a love for writing and travel. Living in the heart of Silicon Valley (San Jose, California) and growing up around technology, he’s always been fascinated with what could be.

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you had a good holiday season. As you can see I’ve been quiet for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been busy, it just means I haven’t had a lot to share (and I took a bit of a break). Today I’m back and I’m here to share my thoughts on Down the River by J. Scott Coatsworth (learn more here).
