WhatThePoetsAreDoing
@dantamblyn.bsky.social
Retired from 48 years of character development to start writing.

Writer of words. Reader of books. Huge fan of the Hip. More cowbell.
More green shoots from Publishing.

Many thanks to Wicked Shadow Press who are publishing one of my short stories "Bobby Taylor" in October in their Pocket Full of Posies: Shadow Children Anthology.

I will post details of how to order the collection when they are available.

So I have been in this new place 30 minutes. So far, no invitations to join a militia in the woods, viscous personal attacks or poorly spelled death threats.

And I know how to spell vicious.
