I have a story in the latest issues of bending genres. It’s about lost friendship and regrets. See issue 47 at bendinggenres.com

Yay!

Don't forget to try something new, FAM. It might just be amazing ✨

Happy Labor Day. How’s the writing and editing going?

I’ve just submitted two flash memoir pieces to publications. Hoping for positive results!

The Nuns Trying to Save the Women on Texas’s Death Row Sisters from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the prisoners—and even made them affiliates of their order. The story of a powerful spiritual alliance.

Thanks for saying this. I so agree

I don’t think I’ve ever made any art or written any stories that sprang from spite or being horny. What a weird concept this is to me!

Now that more people I know are migrating here I may have to start posting occasionally!

It’s sad that people want their reviews spoon fed to them via audio or video rather than being willing to spend the same amount of time reading a written review.

Working on a novella in flash now and getting it ready for thorough workshopping in January!
