Finishing my edits on Firebug, publishing, and then moving on to revisions of my next novel, Loop, Nevada.
…bare my soul on social media

“As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer.”
- Hunter S. Thompson
