“No Place Like Home” published at Atlas and Alice

Today my piece "No Place Like Home" is live at Atlas and Alice. Like many of the other pieces I've had published recently, this started in a Kathy Fish workshop. It's a piece of microfiction, so we already had strict word constraints (150 words or less). To add to the challenge, Kathy gave us a … Continue reading “No Place Like Home” published at Atlas and Alice

Poetry and Photography in Versification

If you didn't know I was a poet... well, you'll soon find out why I keep that side of me under wraps. In all seriousness, I'm proud of this acceptance because it came from THE ANGRY ROBOT running things at Versification Zine. It took me five tries of five line poems before I earned this … Continue reading Poetry and Photography in Versification

Four Flash Pieces published at The Write-In

This year a friend and I got together to write for some of those prompts on Saturday night.

Those Who Scream: a Collaborative Novel

November is commonly known as National Novel Writing Month for writers, whether you participate or not. I've tried it off and on over the years, winning some, giving up some throughout the month. I've written a young adult book, a middle grade book, and a few story collections. But overall it's hit or miss for … Continue reading Those Who Scream: a Collaborative Novel

“At Least I Have Nothing” published at Rejection Letters

Today my piece "At Least I Have Nothing" is live at Rejection Letters. Back in December of 2021 they had a call for "One Sentence Shit" and I knew I had something to submit! This story came from a prompt in the SmokeLong Quarterly workshop to write one breathless sentence. I was listening to the … Continue reading “At Least I Have Nothing” published at Rejection Letters

“Witches Do That Sometimes” published at MicroLit Almanac

Today my piece "Witches Do That Sometimes" is live at MicroLit Almanac. I get Kathy Fish's newsletter, The Art of Flash Fiction, and try to make time to do her writing prompts because they're fantastic. After a rough day at work in February, I knew I needed to stretch my creative muscles. I saved her … Continue reading “Witches Do That Sometimes” published at MicroLit Almanac

Photography Published at FERAL and vulnerary magazine

I've always loved March because it's (usually) the beginning of sunshine and spring weather. We've had some snow and storms lately, but it's still my month. I had a blast with the March Faxness competition and had a flash piece, "Freshman," find a home after 12 long years. Now I'm wrapping up my favorite month … Continue reading Photography Published at FERAL and vulnerary magazine
