You are too kind. I can't tell you how much it gratifies me to hear that you enjoyed Pandora’s Pause. I released it as a free story to my newsletter subscribers and Facebook followers and, therefore, it isn’t hosted anywhere that accepts reviews except on YouTube, where I posted the audio. I’d very much appreciate a review there if you’re so inclined, but no pressure. Simply reaching out is quite the boon to this author’s soul. ;-)

Here’s a link to the audio on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XsUn60XD3V4?si=-H4Nb...

However, I suffer from severe writer's distraction, mostly in the form of clicking on social media links--Facebook is the most common culprit.

“making no decision was the same as making a bad one.”
David Alan Jones, Scholarship: Death Before Default

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

[I saw hate in a graveyard -- Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]”
Stephen Fry

“She wasn’t just old, not anymore. She’d sailed right past old and into the port called Decrepitude.”
Richard Gleaves, Sleepy Hollow: Rise Headless and Ride

“You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.”
Dorothy Parker, You Might As Well Live: The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker
