The Blog
Another month passes by.
And so April 2019 draws to an end. The year is flying by and I vacillate between writing and not writing. Enthusiasm to continue writing waxes and wanes. So I have the following offerings still to be offered: a sci-fi novella called - Bibliotheca Galactica a short...
