GREAT NEWS!

A hero called Dan Mazur who is a founder/organizer of MICE in Cambridge amongst many other cool things, got in touch with me via this website and offered me some pages in the bi-annual literary journal Pangyrus - this will be my first time in print with my recent work. I’m so stoked. :) In the meantime i’m making some cards, stickers and badges to distribute at MICE. Should be a great weekend!
