Fiction Mondays Browse Inside The Last Apprentice: I Am Alice (Book 12) by Joseph Delaney, Illustrated by Patrick Arrasmith
Fiction Mondays is a writer’s showcase posted every Monday. My goal eventually is to feature writers work here. Amateur, to published writers, and those who love the written word. To express and receive feedback. The writing can be fan-fiction, original short stories, poetry as well as sneak peaks of published authors latest release. Some of you may recognize and love while other will be a new discovery.
