Wish big?
1. Draft and revise a novel to the point that it's ready for beta readers (in pursuit of traditional publishing)
2. Get more short fiction published. There's one story in particular I've been revising for years, so ideally I'll finish that and submit it to The Dark magazine.

It's May! The month of my birth. Which means you are required to buy one of my books - or convince a friend to do so
Especially since I'm recovering some surgery and need cheering up.
I don't make the rules.
I have three out: STORMBLOOD, BLINDSPACE and BROKEN STARS. All are good.
