Hey there. Please consider going to this page and voting for my stories, Best Gift, or The Fourth Horseman. You can reach the latter online (link found from voting site) but you will have to purchase the Return to Luna anthology to read Best Gift. Thanks for your support! Writing stories is my dream and passion so every little bit of attention helps.

And just for clarity's sake, I haven't participated in the forum in a while, but I am a Buddhist writer and The Fourth Horseman makes specific references to the Odaimoko and RKK. I am not just spamming random sites with this sort of request.

Take care,

Brandon
