So, now that everybody's talking about PCOS/PMOS...

It's coming this summer in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social Please look forward to it ❤️

My story is in this review!!! 🥳

So glad my story "This is Why Magical Realism and Family Tree School Projects Shouldn't Mix" made it into Alex Brown's "must read" list 🥹 This silly little story is really special to me 🐐❤️ Go read it if you like parodies, magical realism, Latino lore, stories about family trauma, and goats 🐐

It's short speculative fiction time. Here are ten of my favorites from February. reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Gorgeous cover 🔥

Issue 2 cover reveal! This gorgeous art is "Caballo" by @mxmorgan.com. I instantly fell in love with it, and stars aligned for it to set the tone of the issue. Issue 2 (and the stories this horse is guarding) land April 1. Here's the picture worth a thousand exclamation points:

Oh, look, it's a title card for my short story!!! I love that this captures how tragic and sad the story is beneath the layer of comedy 🐐 If you haven't yet read this first issue, you totally should. Not only because my story is in it, but because it comes with excellent TOC mates!

Adventitious.@adventitiouswords.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I don't know or care if I'm good at Instagram, but I'm having a blast making these title cards for stories. (This is for this story: www.adventitious.net/stories/magi...)

My first pro-rate story is now out to read for free! If you like genre parodies, magical realism, and references to Latinoamerican culture, you may like this one 🐐 Y sí, obvio que el abuelo de la protagonista se subió a un cerro para rebanarse al diablo con un machete, ¿cómo iba a ser que no? 🧓⛰️😈
