I have a short story in Issue 16 of @funfunfunicular.bsky.social. It's about the strange solitude of aging, featuring a good-hearted empty-nester as protagonist, and all the ways her house talks to her.

I’m finishing up Cloud Atlas for the first time (much belated, I’m aware). Terrific novel, in my view. And Meronym says to Zachry, nay, humans brought The Fall upon themselves.

If we're referring to the same thing that I obliquely referred to in my post, then yes: it was me!

I think I can safely share that I recently received some great news from @thedodgemag.bsky.social and @funfunfunicular.bsky.social. More to come!

I had a story accepted for publication this morning, a story I first wrote ten years ago. Let me tell you, this surly bird has flown far to find its home.
