From 2017 to 2018
Every year I write up a review of what I did in the past year and what I'm looking forward to in the next.
What you can expect from me in 2018
Over the last few weeks, the covers for three upcoming anthologies I'm in have been released, and while I've posted them on social media, I haven't yet had a chance to post them on my blog — so here they are! This means you're getting (at least) three new things from me in 2018!
