Episode 3: All the Dark Things with guest Mike Jack Stoumbos

This week, I span the gamut of fiction with a short story anthology, a novella, a novel, and a Kindle book on using dark feminine archetypes for shadow work. That, combined with my guest's novella, adds up to a dark, exciting week of reading. I discuss my love of the novella format, as well as why I thought I was going to fall behind in my reading challenge. (Spoiler alert--I'm still four books ahead!) Finally, I invite my fellow The Writing Tribe alum on the show to talk about his latest novella release, A Man of His Word. Hope you enjoy this week's time On the Shelf!
