EXCERPT “If you’re rifling through my brain with your little Time-Jedi tricks, stop it.” At this rate she wouldn’t have a brain to rifle through, it was taking such a beating. “I can’t read your mind, happy?” She was light years away from happy. “How do you travel through time like that?” “It’s a combination […]

November Wrap Up
News I’ve been self-hosted for an entire year! Wow, where has the time gone? I’ve given self-hosting a lot of thought over the past year.

White Space by Ilsa J Bick
