The battle to keep up with the number or received submissions is long lost, so I present to you my late, late, late round up of releases I would be remiss not to at least give a mention. This is part one. Adrianna Krikl "Celestial" Adrianna Krikl got in contact with with me out of … Continue reading The Big Round Up.
