Happy Release Day…Again!

My second acceptance is here! It's Release Day for my short story appearance with Prosetrics Magazine! This one is still very much...unreal to me. I admittedly haven't had the same excitement as my first release with Livina Press. I'm not sure if it is shock yet of how quickly I got two acceptances for two …

Release Amendment + NB Stats

I’m just a few days out from the release of my second short story which comes out on Friday! However, I have to make a slight adjustment to the release details that I put out last week. Unfortunately, there will no longer be a digital edition of this magazine. The magazine released an announcement on …

NEW Release Details

I might still be playing suspenseful with my SECOND release coming up, but this time there is enough of a wait and more solid details for me to announce the when and how. So, while I am keeping the magazine and my story title in the shadows for a little bit longer, I can at …

The Backstory to “Circles of Revenge”

I'm a touch late on this, but here it is! The backstory behind my recent release, "Circles of Revenge," with Livina Press. I owe the origins of this story to Siobhan Muir's weekly #ThursThreads flash fiction challenge, which is currently running it's eleventh year of tying on tales of 250 words or less. Impressive, right? …

Another One?!

Pinch me, I must be dreaming… I know on Saturday I said I was going to give a “Circles of Revenge” backstory for my recent release with Livina Press this week. That’s still the plan. I’m hoping to upload that blog post tomorrow. Before I do so though, I have another unexpected announcement. I have …

Happy Release Day!

It’s here! Today is Release Day for my short story appearance with Livina Press! It’s been a little bit of chaos this week and I had intentions of making a release details blog post and sharing some backstory on my contribution before now. However, the Universe wanted to make this release as fast-paced and chaotic …

CoR Stats

The turnaround time of publication on my ACCEPTANCE is moving fast! I’m likely just days away from shouting to the skies that it’s release day, and I can’t wait! With that in mind, I figured I’d share the stats that led up to this acceptance. This short story started out in the submission trenches a …

A Little About Me

I dislike being overly personal on the internet for a number of reasons: introvert complex, a lack of professional photos I’d like to get, the normal wariness of potential personal identity stuff being out there, internet creeps… However, I’m well aware that being personal in some forms is what brings connection with fans and other …

Coming Back with a Bang

Testing…one, two, three…testing. Wait, this isn’t a microphone. I should probably just blow the dust off and pull the white sheet away with a flourish to announce… I have a new short story ACCEPTANCE with a wonderful literary magazine! Out of respect for the magazine’s announcements to come, I won’t be sharing full details yet …
