Leave a CommentIn what I hope will prove to be a fun ongoing experiment, I now have two novellas published through the Kindle Worlds platform on Amazon. These stories are licensed tie-ins with Marcus Sakey‘s Brilliance Saga, in which human savants known as “brilliants” begin transforming the world in both marvelous and…
Leave a CommentSo far, we’ve been focusing on exercise and ways to boost overall physical activity, breaking out of sedentary writing habits and the like.
