I'm in awe. My story, The Apprentice of Ouroboros, made #Royalroad front page today. I never thought this would be the story that broke out in a big way. Many props to my fellow monster girl authors who also launched alongside me. Without them, I may have never written this.

#cheney is dead. And I am not sorry to see his passing. Not in the least. I watched the towers burn live on TV in my high school, horrified. Then he turned our nation along with others into something worse: invaders, torturers, and warmongers. He paved the way for Trump.
