Double issue of MicroVerse Spec Flash Roundup with Oct-Nov recs!

Yay !! I’m so happy and grateful that this story is out in the world thanks to the incredible @flashfrog.bsky.social !!

“Creature arrived at the farm this morning with the sky waking in wounded red, and all the cows were lying down in the field and the hairs on his arm, soft and spare as a woman’s, were standing on end.” I love this flash by @thehagsoup.bsky.social in @flashfrog.bsky.social

A cathartic story for you today !Thank you @dishsoapquart.bsky.social !

"Lights bordered the sign shaped like a hand, long fingers and lined palm, in the window facing Hawthorne—the carnival hues ran sequentially red, yellow, blue" Love the evocation of place and yearning in this #FlashFiction from @thehagsoup.bsky.social www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

"Sure enough, it began to snow, the fattest flakes Gill had ever seen. Only, this snow fell to the ground with a punch. The thud of muscle, obscene. Oddly juicy." Love this story @thehagsoup.bsky.social

Gonna howl at the moon because my flash story Hell’s Half Acre, 1876 is out today with @gonelawn.bsky.social ! Thrilled to be a part of this issue !

“Mary knew miracles in Kentucky, in March yet, were rare enough, but at the moment she realized she needed the animal fat from the barn, had, in fact, forgotten to render it down the night before, it began to fall from the sky.” @thehagsoup.bsky.social gonelawn.net/journal/issu...

Thrilled and so looking forward to creating artwork for the winners of the 2025 Blue Frog ✨ 😭 Submit those stories!! 🙏 #flashfiction #writingcommunity

I’m so excited to have a ghost story up at Maudlin House today ! I wrote this one in the midst of grief, for grievers. maudlinhouse.net/the-heiresss...

Grab your Hawaiian shirt, it's time to get some groceries with @thehagsoup.bsky.social! jakethemag.com/death-works-...

This is the silliest stuff I’ve written and I’m so honored that @publishedbyjake.bsky.social liked it !! 💀

It’s the first day of fall and I walked through the graveyard and made apple butter and submitted to @wrongpublishing.bsky.social 💀

I did a podcast/video conversation about not writing with @benjamingorman.bsky.social See my muppet arms, glorious mustache, and human-sized gourd costume in YouTube or listen wherever podcasts are played!

@thehagsoup.bsky.social has another wonderful piece out today! www.roifaineantpress.com/post/we-ate-...

So excited my story is up now on @rfpress.bsky.social ! 🐋

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.
