It has been a year. The pandemic still had us all in its grasp. Our beloved cat Sam passed away. I moved into a new place. My short story ‘All Through the House‘ was adapted as an episode of Love, Death & Robots on Netflix, which is still wild to me. And I released my first short story collection, as found here.
This year I’ve also had a number of publications eligible for awards. And with the collection finished, I see myself going back to writing more short stories and some other projects as well.
