And we are back!!

After quite a period of inactivity (at least as far as the website is concerned), I am back (hopefully) to more regular updates. I have written a number of updates which did not get posted previously, so they will appear soon. In addition to being extraordinarily busy, I had been holding off doing too much […]

Short Story: The Commissar of Clarkesian Prime
