I’m so happy to share my SF horror flash, β€˜The Worldbuilder,’ published today in @lightspeedmagazine.com! The story is an homage to Joanna Russ’ β€˜We Who are About To…’, enfolding the morbid xenophilic curiosity of β€˜Alien’ (hi, welcome to my work 😈)

Folks, I need help. I had a severe medical incident that required ER. I'm on med leave and I have no idea if it's funded or no. Have been trying for past few months to get a workshop r3fund of 3k I'm still missing to no avail, have exhausted every opportunity. Any advice on what I can do?

I meant to do this yesterday, but this week has been a lot.

However, it's the beginning of the month and I've not properly done theis in 2026 yet. So, it's Tiny Story Time!

Leave me a prompt and get a piece of microfiction. It might be the length of a singe post, or it might longer. We'll see!

Every Ghost Story - Reactor Following a mysterious world-wide event that makes ghosts visible, a young woman is invited to attend Ghost Camp.

β€œGhosts don’t talk (if you discount the strange whistling) and sometimes immigrants don’t either, but you can always tell. I think it’s something in the way people hold themselves if they truly feel they belong. Perhaps ghosts are the same.”
