Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
In a stupid COVID-19 turn of events, my life's suddenly been turned upside down. The thing is, I like to workout. I've been lucky enough to have access to a small gym that's operated by my job.

It's been on my mind for ages and though it usually never bothers me at all, these little comments keep gnawing at me. So I'm warning you, this might end up being a Rant©, but... Continue Reading →
