CRYPTID CAGEMATCH
Hey there readers!
If you were a fan of the Cryptid Cagematch Blog then I thank you. Unfortunately, I am no longer posting here.
Frankly, blogging isn't the type of writing I prefer and it takes far too much time away from the audio and literary pursuits I value highest.
That said, I'll leave this blog archive here, in case you want to read what I wrote in 2020 :).
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the Fiction and Podcast pages!
