I was just thinking about doing this! Not great trends, sadly

This is going to be great! If you haven’t read the first two volumes they are amazing

Nice one!

When I see stuff Marissa has done I get excited, and I’m not known for being excited. You should read this, whoever you are

Not for any reason but my favourite short story of the last several years has been 'The Difference between Love and Time' in the antho 'Someone in Time'. Masterpiece of heart and love. Thank you @catvalente.bsky.social

New story day! Wonderful art by Jacey

“But then something happened that the ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a shower curtain ring salesman, Del Griffith, Director of sales, American Light & Fixture.” ✨🎨

By me!

A small milestone for my novella, Ghost of the Neon God. 300 ratings on Goodreads and still going strong. Thank you to all who've read, enjoyed, and rated.

Very well deserved, fantastic story!

While out for a run I found a mobile phone. I thought I'd run it down to the police station. On the way the phone rang. It was the owner.
'Hi," I said. 'If this is your phone, I found it.'
'Do you still have it?' he asked.

This excerpt from @tanaudel.bsky.social novella is lyrical and foreboding and just delicious anticipation

Thank you!

I have a new story out in @castofwonders.org with wonderful narration by @danooli.com and hosting by @scribblejotter.bsky.social. This one is about how we deal (or not) with emotions in a family. And how we pass that damn behaviour on.

This is incredible
