Hello, this is Mary Soon Lee entering stage left.... Hoping to find some of the folks I used to follow on that other social media platform....
For anyone wondering who I am, I write poetry and fiction, much of it SF and F.
I also have a cat, Pilot.
And I like to post about books I've enjoyed :-)

So far, we’ve received a number of fantasy and horror pieces for Dark Hearts. We want science fiction, too! We love anything speculative, but right now sci-fi is a less competitive genre.
