A New Addition to the Family

Please allow me to introduce the newest writer in the Gaylord clan, Griffin Lloyd Gaylord!

As you can imagine, I haven't had much time to write lately but I still have a few stories trickling out from various markets. Check out "The There It Is Store" on the Cast of Wonders young adult fiction podcast and "Hummer" in Speculative Fiction Bites by World Weaver Press, And here's a great review for Sol of the Coliseum by the fellows over at Eleven Media.

Thanks for reading!
