I was incredibly excited to place my horror comedy Rashomonster (4,650 words) in an upcoming issue of Trollbreath Magazine. Cool people doing a very cool magazine. Keep an eye out, as when spooky season comes there's a rumor I might be the free story past the paywall... magazine.trollbreath.com

Great social media is the antithesis of chatgpt, for me. I skewed my algorithm right and it gives me everything from Jamelle Bouie to the NOAA, whistpr prompts to Trollbreath Magazine, Tennessee Holler to Martha Wells, among others. And they all respond to sincere questions from an old cringey lady❤️

Fave short fiction read this week was The Water Dragons of Harney County by @bmorrisallen.com in Trollbreath. Whimsical, both modern and folkloric, and incredibly compelling

The Water Dragons of Harney County – Trollbreath In mid-2024, I was looking through my idea file and found a dragon story. And another, and another. In the end, I wrote about a half-dozen dragon stories of very different kinds. This one, about farm irrigation, was inspired by driving cross-country and seeing a type of vaguely dragon-shaped irrigator that to my delight is actually branded Dragon-Line. This story brings out the true dragon nature associated with that dragon form. It published in Trollbreath on 1 September 2025.
