I haven't sat down to draw one of my characters in a long time, so here's 'mysterious stranger' because if I revealed who he was, he wouldn't be quite as mysterious... and also a short comic about assassins, suggesting it's dangerous to walk up and surprise one with an unexpected act of affection!

I really need to catch up with my social media. Acceptances from Sabr Tooth Tiger Magazine for their inaugural issue, also Empty Stars, then capping all this off with my first haiku coming out soon in Heterodox Haiku! It's been a busy week!

Thank you @fussub.bsky.social for the acceptance of my poem 'A Sanctuary of Spiders' - I am really glad it has found a wonderful home and I can't wait to share it with you all. Happy Sunday!

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

it took three years for anyone to believe / the panting, clawing, cravings
weren’t just hormonal / a second opinion suggested lupus

I guess I have more to change / the extra nipples always sting
I’m on my knees and it’s not sexy / I apologise to the stars as a ruler of spine 

snaps through skin / tight

I’m changing again

Through visceral, bodily imagery & raw emotion, @meanerharker.bsky.social captures what it means to feel monstrous & human all at once. A celebration of courage & resilience, this personal piece lays bare the emotional & physical toll of pain, disability & uncontrollable change.

Excited to be a part of this special anniversary addition. My poem is a raw, personal expression of dealing with pain, disability and change. I have included it below. Please be aware it could be triggering, although I wrote it more as a celebration of courage & resilience. Enjoy

I had the honour of being interviewed by Libre where I speak openly about my writing, the writing community & life in general. I hope it conveys a message of hope & the realisation how precious the people and connections we make are for getting us through the dark.

Poetry By ZoΓ« Davis bellum

The second of my editor's picks for @frazzledlitmag.bsky.social is bellum by ZoΓ« Davis, a fantastic piece of magical and mythological realism that left me hanging on that snapshot at the end and the, "what if" moment. Masterfully done. @meanerharker.bsky.social πŸ’―

Thanks to @rangermagazine.bsky.social for picking up four pieces of mine for their next issue. They are experimental, a little bit out of the ordinary and one is written in an Excel spreadsheet... so expect the unexpected. Coming this Spring...
