Thrilled to have a new #flashfiction story out in @rawheadjournal.bsky.social!! Big thanks to the editors! Read "Something Called Love" here: rawheadjournal.org/rawhead-issu...

“It’s March, the sun setting later but still early enough that by the time I leave the evening class, the campus is merely shadows, eerily empty, with only dots of light along the stretch of sidewalk from here to there,” @jekwriter.bsky.social

"...and I’d watch my mother’s face light up with every expert note, as she transformed into a stranger, a woman I’d never met,...." These two remarkable pieces of writing by @jekwriter.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social 💙💙💙 gooseberry-pie.com/strangers-2/

‘You were the man who came to play the Steinway upright at our house, the piano collecting dust in our living room…’ Beautifully done by @jekwriter.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social 🎹 gooseberry-pie.com/strangers-2/

Thrilled to have two new stories in the latest @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social issue!!

My latest Substack post, in which I talk about National Poetry Month, revision, and iterations--and offer a prompt and prompt challenge, too!! jekwrites.substack.com/p/whats-old-... #art #NationalPoetryMonth #revision #flashfiction #nature #shadows

Honored to have "Zero Kelvin" included in this smokin' hot (and icy cold) issue of Hot Flash Literary! Thank you @jekwriter.bsky.social and Tina Carlson! 🔥❄️🔥❄️🔥 hotflashliterary.com/zero-kelvin/

Honored to have "How to Pack a Go Bag When the Firefighters Can't Extinguish Your Fire (Without Risking Electrocution)" appear in Hot Flash Literary. BIG thanks to Tina Carlson and @jekwriter.bsky.social for supporting my work! hotflashliterary.com/how-to-pack-...

“Mary Beth’s boyfriend popped the question, and because she truly loved the idea of love, and maybe even him, she said yes, yet another preset answer rolling off her tongue before she could even stop to think.’ This one by @jekwriter.bsky.social is a surreal (and a bit too relatable) read.

"Because it seemed that everyone was pregnant. And when I say everyone, I’m talking grandmothers, too. Even a man at church" Love the slightly off-kilter feel of this one from @jekwriter.bsky.social in @fracturedlit.bsky.social fracturedlit.com/something-in...

By @jekwriter.bsky.social “Being young, I adjusted quickly to having only one eye, because, as the ER doctor said, kids are resilient.”
