My story "Remembrance" is live today on ergot. It's about being trapped in someone else's memory, kind of! #SpecLit #FlashFiction

Reminder that I am running a promotion to get The Nightmare Box into libraries! 📚 See below ...

I have published more than 400 of my stories and poems across 6 years, read/edit for several journals, and have worked with clients who went on to publish in many pro venues (from unthemed magazines to themed anthologies). Give my editing services a try!

Finally feeling slightly better than hot-boiled shit, so a very belated update: Happy Pride, congrats to all the Stoker and Nebula winners, billionaires shouldn't exist, fuck the police, and have a great weekend!

Our gratitude for each one of you is immense. We feel this. We know we can get there. This 15 is a real number, it's the lowest goal we could set and not have to cancel projects. If we can get to that 15 today, the weight lifted would be immense. Here's the thing: www.gofundme.com/f/a-small-pr...

Don't worry, guys, corporate greed didn't cause ALL inflation, just that on gas, cars, personal care, repair, general merchandise, other services, and (checks notes) .. "goods."

Melissa is QUANTIFIABLY one of the hardest working writers I've ever encountered. (Absolutely crushing this year's rejection contest.) Give her a hand if you can!

3 hours left! Time to finish up those edits and get to sending!

Every article about Red Lobster filing for bankruptcy is "ha ha endless shrimp, what did they think would happen" and then buried ten paragraphs down is the usual:

Any time the media wants to quit believing all the horseshit that OpenAI is shoveling, that'd be amazing. A computer cannot be "playful," it does not have "moods." It will not "sing" or "write poetry." It does nothing but return a probabilistic outcome based on what it's told. That is IT.

2 days left!
