  • Happy New Year!

    2022 was quite the year in my writing life – I found an agent, published two short stories, wrote two additional short stories for 2023, and released an audiobook edition of Beyond the Next Star… but finishing Sight Beyond the Sun was by far my biggest writing highlight of the year.
