    You guessed it, the Asylum brings you another SPSC special interview, celebrating some of the authors who've joined the fierce competition.

    What do we plan for 2022

    It's that time of the year again - although we are a tiny bit late - when we sit down and set goals for the year ahead of us. These past two years showed us that life is about as unpredictable as they come, and planning ahead requires some flexibility. We can only hope this year will be kinder to us all and we can achieve what we aim for. Only time will tell whether we make it or not, but we can definitely try! And so, we are here to tell you what we plan for 2022 blogging, reading, and life-wise. Come and get excited with us and tell…
