May 2024 update

My poem “Leaving Home” is included in the just-released anthology Savor: Poems For the Tongue. This anthology, from Friendly City Books, is available for ordering at https://www.friendlycitybooks.com/savor

In April, I once again tackled the poem-a-day challenge. Thanks to the prompts provided, I was able to generate a number of poems, exceeding the target of 30. As a bonus, a couple of poems have already been accepted for publication!

What I’m Working On
In May, I plan to focus primarily on creative non-fiction.
 
Coming Soon
A flash fiction story titled “The Queen’s Request” will be appearing in Havok May 6^th (free to view for that one day). It’s set in “Fairyland,” a world I’ve had some fun with a couple of other pieces, and features two of the Three Little Pigs trying to solve a mystery.
