Brief insights into my writing world. |

I started my blog in June 2016, intending to have a place to get my stories in the hands of readers. I started with one follower -- my wife.

Then came the sound, rolling like thunder across the eastern plains. ~~~ Read the full story at https://jjshaun.com/2025/07/06/the-green-of-the-elvar/ |

, but my laptop's running 10. I suppose I should do something about it... but I didn't earn those Procrastination MBs by taking the bull by the horns (which, to be honest, sounds more than a little dangerous).
