Mini-Reviews–prose, undercover operatives, and the Black Death
Hello, friends! So….time is a thing. A lot of it has diminished and passed into the undying lands since I last graced you all with my presence. I’ve been quite busy–and I’m not exactly about to get LESS busy…but what else is new? A short update of the past few months: Anyhoo, I think it’s…
