A great interview with Not Quite Write's @akscotland.bsky.social where I even get a cheeky shoutout!

Please read this remarkable story.

The Commuter is like a magical cat that delivers its night’s kills to me every morning. Sometimes pretty but dead bunnies. Sometimes snakes, still alive. Sometimes alien beasts that are impossible to classify.

This time it’s a cat friend. A haunted night cat.

I'm ecstatic that one of my favorite stories has found its forever home in one of my favorite magazines!

When Electric Lit said they wanted to publish "The Person Who Lives Here Doesn't Live Here Anymore," I sent my confirmation so quick they probably still have bite marks on their hands!

Thrilled that my flash story "The Person Who Lives Here Doesn't Live Here Anymore" is now up on Electric Lit!

Another talented friend sharing her words in one of the best places around!

My insanely talented friend @christyhartman.bsky.social has won this contest two years running. Even more amazingly, she has come first in EVERY SINGLE ROUND both years.

Good news for the rest of us: she's not allowed to compete for two years in order to give the rest of us a fighting chance!
