Though I wrote about this anthology nearly two months back, I can now safely say that Big Finish’s Doctor Who anthology, Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership, is “go for launch.” The book has been approved by the BBC.

Drabble-y Goodness
What is a drabble, you ask? A drabble is a short story of precisely one hundred words. No more. No less. I write drabbles for fun. Usually as a writing warm-up exercise.
