Hear, hear!
My contract expired at Halloween, and I find myself unemployed again. While this is a bummer, I'm satisfied of the new connections I got and for the free time given to me to write again.
That same day, we at the Damaers celebrated our sixteenth wedding anniversary. That's us having dinner at a Persian restaurant here in Rome.
And now, let's begin our monthly dive in free stories.

First novel in the complete Confederated Worlds trilogy
Tomas Neumann sought escape from his backwater planet and overbearing mother, and a mentor to replace his long-dead father. "Taking the shilling"—enlisting in the Confederated Worlds military—promised both. Despite the soldier's skills implanted in his brain, combat still threatened to destroy him, in body and in spirit. Grieving for lost comrades, demoralized by a spiral of atrocities, could Tomas learn what he needed to survive, before facing his war's ultimate challenge?
