I wrote a short novel called The Sexual Compass. You can find our more about it and see some reviews on its Goodreads page. The book also has a Facebook page. If you’ve read the book and you enjoyed it, please, please, please post a short review somewhere or give it a rating.
Computer Programming
I have some experience with programming, and I spent a lot of 2020 updating my skills in that area (Unity/C#, Java, JavaScript etc). See my YouTube channel for details on that.
Other interests
