All that glitters is not gold, all that rots is not old, all that shines is not gem yet we still value them. Time shatters stones, crumbles thrones, murders kings and dusts their bones. All that shimmers is not treasure, what lingers has no measure. What value will you hold when your story’s told?

I'm an avid author, pensive poet, and annoying alliterator with two novels, six novellas, and many short stories published on patreon, amazon, and here.
