Your interview definitely whet my appetite! I can't wait to read Darrell Epp's latest book! All of his previous poetry collections have the stellar track record of being immersive, resonant and singularly captivating! Take my money!

[@M.J.Struven]

Great to hear it! Support the authors!

That's because you're paying attention only to the "sci" part, yet are seemingly unaware what the "fi" part means. It means fiction. That means it's not real, bubba. Glad I could help.
