It's the 5th anniversary of finishing the first draft of my fantasy novelette, "The Perfumed Air at Kwaanantag Bay," follow-up to my novel "Light of the Outsider."

Get it directly from me (preferred) in e-book, audiobook, or handmade, limited edition chapbook editions, or anywhere you buy ebooks and audiobooks online.

This episode was recorded on my mother's 90th birthday and inspired me to think about how to make sure we each build our creative legacy. The most important strategy is in the title! Anywhere you get your podcasts, including YouTube, or at the link. https://www.mattselznick.com/mwsc-009-324/
