I know, I know. I was supposed to post last week. I’m hoping that even though I’ve had a really late start on writing the new story this week that I’ll still finish on time. The Doom of Alokai Storm has lived alone her entire life, shunned like all witches, for her gift of prophesy. […]

The reasons why I missed my weekly deadline and didn’t publish a story last week are numerous. I will be posting a new story before the end of tonight. The main reason I didn’t meet the deadline is because I didn’t figure out that I was never going to finish the story I was writing
