Welcome to my blog and I hope you stay awhile.

Here you will find short stories, reviews or other lit-related comments. I might write about my WIP or new features about things that move me. You should read the introduction to each posting as I may give a summary, share warnings or tell you how I got the idea for the story. I hope you enjoy.
