A Beginner’s Tale #3
It has been a long journey, but here I stand on the verge of publishing my first novel. I always wanted to write, but my first High School English teacher convinced me I was barely literate.

Dysprosium : SciFi Convention
Dysprosium was the 66th annual UK SciFi Convention, held at Easter 2015. (Yes, I'm still playing "catch-up".)
