And unbelievably I was accepted into Beneath Ceaseless Skies too. I have a short story in here called "A Good Brother". Thank you Scott H. Andrews for your invaluable help getting this story into shape!

Thanks Ben, for the incredible support. ❤️

Thanks Sandra ❤️

Thanks so much! It's been on my computer for around 2 years in some form or another, so glad it's found a home with Clarkesworld.

Awh! Thanks Sandra. Appreciate you reading it. This one's pretty special to me. It had been sitting on my computer for a long time in various versions looking for a forever home.

The Darkening - Small Wonders We sit up high in the trees, just Poppa and me, swinging our legs like we ain’t got a care in the world, watching the Blackness come and snuff out the Sun.

In Anne Wilkins's "The Darkening", a child with the gift of creating light and heat struggles with what she owes to her family and her neighbors.

My "Bent Out of Shape" story. This was the winning story from the 2023 Autumn Writing Battle, it has been reprinted in Gavagai as an editors pick!

I know right? I'm still in shock. Thanks, Ben!

Eeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!
What's that sound?
That's the sound when you get a Clarkesworld acceptance in your inbox!
Yup... after many, many tries it's happened!

Right back at you, and congratulations on coming first! That free book publishing package looks awesome, not to mention the $.

Thanks, Sandra. You're always so kind.

Only the rotten ones I hope :)

Really pleased to have placed third in the Fall 2025 Writer's Weekly 24-hour Short Story Contest. 🤩 My story is called Black Harvest, and you can read it at the link below.

Enjoyed this story I just read today.

If you haven't checked it out already have a read of the "Hate Baby" by the very talented Jaime Gill. That ending line is a real kicker, but the story from start to finish is a great read.

And I have a cool little story in here called "Ant-icipation"🐜
This is a magazine from the Australasian Horror Writers Association, so for me it's a big deal. And that's my name on the cover😍!!

I just wanted to say I read your story earlier today — and it's still with me. Very raw, gutsy, heart wrenching, powerful. There's words and situations in there that will stick with me. Fantastic.
