Putting it Down
Over a very productive weekend I found myself writing the closing words of the final rough draft of my first book. Two hundred pages of adventures in what I could best describe as a mash up of "Scooby Doo" and "Stranger Things," and I could finally take a break from...
Collateral Damages (Runner Concept)
