Huge thanks to Maria for spending time with us today! Great discussion of craft, from story structure to language. We loved digging into these stories!
Thank you @mariahaskins.com!!
I write speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, horror & points in-between), and I also write reviews & essays.
My short fiction is available in two short story collections:
π€οΈ SIX DREAMS ABOUT THE TRAIN: mariahaskins.com/six-dreams-a...
πΊ WOLVES & GIRLS: mariahaskins.com/wolves-and-g...
To read! I love Maria Haskinsβs stuff and I like what Diabolical Plots publishes, so my expectations are high!
"After two years of working undercover as a vacuum cleaner bot on this boondock planet, he is finally heading home to the Gamma Sector, but his final day is full of challenges."
Such a cool story - give it a read!

And our first story this week is "Highway 1, Past Hope" in @psychopomp.com!
"Layla rises like a breath in winter from the hollow beneath the black cottonwoods beside the river, shrugging off the blanket of dirt and leaves and centipedes she slept beneath."
