I assure you that this is not a “I’m leaving Medium” piece!
I am going to not publish any fiction writing for a considerable period of time because I am working on my novel.
Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude, appreciation, and sincere cherishing of all the followers I’ve gained in the last 3 months.
Now that I’ve told you that I’ll be away, here is the corpus of everything that I’ve published, to both keep you company and to introduce you to my writing that you may not have read before.
