I’m not going to write a year-in-review post, because I fear it’s going to be depressing. 2019 brought me a lot of grief, especially during the summer months, and not enough writing. It did have quite a few publications, though, and that’s always a good thing. So I’ll focus on the one thing that mattered… Continue reading Goodbye, 2019, and thanks for all the stories
