SONG OF THE CONFESSOR | Fiction By G. A. Rivers – Reckon Review
reckonreview.com
A recent story of mine from the great folks at Reckon Review - so honored to have it there. A moody piece about a young musician and the dark forces that powered his muse and rise to the top.

Thankful for all the Writers who do their thing every day.
Who (mostly) shut out the noise and tell the story they need to tell.
Who edit and edit again, bringing it to life.
You, who bring your light into a mad world because you must.

W & I finished season 1 of The Lowdown.
Quite good - pretty unique and well done. And, in case u’ve not heard - plenty of crime writer refs & inspired by Jim Thompson who’s work is referenced repeatedly.
Lou Berney a credited writer.
Walter Mosley wrote an ep.
How can y u hook that up wrong?🔥

My saga "Vampires and Spies" explores a near-future in which vampires see humans as a primitive species, barely aware they exist, until the two must come together against forces of unspeakable darkness.
