The year is officially half over. A good time to take stock, re-motivate, and bang out those goals for the second half the year.
Personally, finish and publish the next Max, figure out a plan for audio, and write a new short story. I think it’s doable.
Okay let’s get to it.
Here are 3 crime fiction links, 2 quotes, and 1 question for this week:
