Author bio

I like writing fantasy, humor, and science fiction stories, but I also like to experiment with different styles and genres. If I haven’t posted a new story in a while, that just means the prompts haven’t really interested me. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thank you to everyone who reads what I write. :)
