Of Cackling Emperors and other things….
OK, so now that I’m done cranking out the words every day in a final push to complete a novel draft, what should we talk about? Why…how about the teaser trailer to Star Wars Episode IX that dropped a few … Continue reading
Something for Thursday

April Fool’s Day! (and the beginning of National Poetry Month)
