You, A Time Traveler?

If you could actually go back in time and stop something from happening, it could potentially save lives, prevent atrocities, etc. But then, who knows what the far-reaching effects altering the timeline would be?

Facing Critics and Naysayers

I was trying to encourage a fellow writer today who was feeling down because of mean-spirited Amazon customer reviewers. We’ve all read a few doozies that made us shake our heads, haven’t we?
