I feel that the title of this post would make a rather good story title, or maybe a poem. But alas, it is purely factual in that this really isn't a story.

August Shaw- Sidekicks Unite!
Summer of Speculation may be eight months old but Shade a.k.a August Shaw has stuck with me. The brief was simple, write a scifi/fantasy story based on the theme sidekicks.

Avalon and Albion
For those who follow me on Twitter, you may already know about a project I've been working on with Cloaked Press. If not, I'm about to tell you, but bear with me a moment first.
