Book Review: The Dragon And The Butterfly by Abby Simpson

Read My New Story!
When I'm not writing thrilling novels, one of my favorite things to do is to write short stories. They are usually horror, science fiction, fantasy or speculative fiction, and when they're done I send them out to be considered for anthologies, magazines, websites and competitions. One of the reasons I love writing short fiction is... Continue Reading →
