So many fantastic stories in this issue. I am especially obsessed with @parkeriswriting.bsky.social 's flash "right here, on this spot" and how exploring the past of one place serves as an exploration of self.

Favorite from this set is “Puddlejumping” by @parkeriswriting.bsky.social, which sets the tone with a strong opening and delivers a heart-wrenching personal tale with just the right kind of ending
Publication day! 🥳🎉🙌 My collection "After You Were Lost" was published by WATG Press today. It's a collection that means a lot to me, and I'm excited that people will finally get to read it. All of the 23 flash and micro stories within deal with grief in different ways. Something I know much about.
I will continue to write distressingly bleak science fiction until morale improves

The first thing Eli ever said to me (way back in fourth grade gym class) was “someday I’m going to write When the Sun Hits: The High-Volume History of Shoegaze”. I didn’t fully grasp what he meant at the time. but now that preorders for that exact book are available, it all makes sense 😌
