It's alive!

Sorry I haven't been more involved here on Goodreads. Covid has limited my time pretty dramatically the past couple of years, so I had to trim back on where I could spend time.

That being said, I'm being interviewed on the Written Undead live feed at 2pm eastern today over on Facebook.

Come jump into the group if you'd like to watch!
