"Scoop" was written for the Apparition Lit flash contest theme Ice Cream but found the perfect home at small wonders. I love dystopian stories, and always have. Everyone who reads this one tells me how sad it is. smallwondersmag.com/...

Publication day is always a spark of joy. Thank you @keychild.bsky.social! "A Snapdragon's Kiss" was written for a novella I've been working on. There's lots of nature magic (and of course trees 🌲🌳) "Riverlord" and "How the Wind and Rain Were Separated" are about love, and the falling from it.

One of those random book finds among the discounted books left outside a bookstore meant to entice a passersby inside. Confession: It worked on me 💎📚

Recently read this one! (It had been on my list for awhile 😅)
There are poems in here I reread multiple times in a day, not because they were difficult to understand, but because I wanted to bask in them. I highly recommend it! 🌳
I'm very happy to have a poem published with @heartlines-spec.com! "Missing You, No Matter Where I Am" is about saying goodbye, and how you can feel homesick and lost even when you’re somewhere magical. 🐦⬛🌒⏳🕯️
