Guess what: I’m officially a published author… & I won Elegant Literature’s “Predator & Prey” contest! 🥳 My story, “The Mark Upon the Bread”, explores the effects of the early Scottish witch trials on a marriage. Free link in bio! Thank you @elegantliterature.bsky.social for uplifting new writers!
Super pumped to place in the latest @elegantliterature.bsky.social magazine with my story, A Streak of Tigers. My talented friend made a cover for it when it was just a wee baby, too www.elegantliterature.com/magazine/
