Don’t Quit Your Dayjob. I Respectfully Disagree.

Reblog Review Of Fairly Wicked Tales

I’m doing a more complete article on this experience for the Dark Eclipse ezine in a future issue, but wanted to share some of the audio. The school where I used to teach invited me back in January for Career Day. It is odd to quit your job and then be asked to come back …
