Thus, errant writer Rob Borkowski returns from hiatus. Yeah, it’s been a while.

Feel like visiting Kepler 186f, the new planet the Kepler Space Telescope Scientists recently found? Pack a lunch. It’s 500 light-years away.

Welcome to The Fantastic Forum
So begin my fledgling steps into the entrepreneurial world of online self publishing, self-promotion, self-marketing and the ensuing adventures.
