Back from my Gamer’s Slumber
I was fairly active right before the Covid-19 outbreak swept the planet. I’ve also been mostly in isolation during this time. The stress of it all however killed my writing effort.

Ironfest 2019
Last weekend, I attended Ironfest 2019 for the 2nd time. Last year, was my first time running a book-stall ever. A little has changed in that year.
