Under The Pendulum Sun

Slated
Teri Terry Picture Credit: Goodreads Review by: Nisha Vyas-Myall This book brought together two things I really enjoy: political dystopia and sci-fi (something I dabble in myself as a writer- not to plug myself, but I have a short story in Holdfast Magazine’s 2016 Brexit supplement and I have another story in the pipeline). WhenContinue reading “Slated”
