SITE STATUS

I am no longer creating case write-ups or issuing Awards. All of the cases that were written, including many not in the Stella Awards Book, are here. Any claimed “recent” cases are bogus.

You can search for cases or see the Awards via the menu.

My Flagship Publication This is True continues to come out with new stories every week. Basic subscriptions have always been free, and you can click here for a subscription form.
