As soon as I finished that one, I immediately began Dark Forest Nights for the Wicked line as well. This story is well, um, [...]

I have so much to learn… Yesterday, Cobblestone announced it’s list of new authors to the rest of the community and (yay!) I was there along with my story’s title and genre.
