Adventures In Publishing – Part 3
The last few weeks have been a learning experience in so many ways.

My teen years were lived out in the 80s, with high school … Continue reading Flashback To The 80s
My Adventures In Editing – Part 4
Brooke Campbell on Unsplash I can’t believe it’s been two months since my last blog post. Time seems to change as we get older. That’s not exactly true, because it’s been subjective our entire lives. What am I talking about? Remember back to when you were a child… did time seem to pass in slow … Continue reading My Adventures In Editing – Part 4
