On Being a Melanated Author

I know I'm not some best-selling author or someone with a huge following, but I still have to say something. I'm sure all of you know about what happened to George Floyd over a week ago.

Happy Belated Birthday to Hollandus Landing! 3 Years!

Can you believe it's been three years since I first serialized Hollandus Landing? Even though it's not my first book I've written, it's the first one I serialized for 6 months straight back in 2017 for people to read.

I got to write a Hollanduscosm book for Camp NaNoWriMo which was alright. It was stressful not just with the global climate …

After Day 1 of Camp NaNoWriMo ’20 (April)
