Cerby's First Day, and November 2023 Update

My first publication in Havok goes live today, and is available for free November 1, 2023 only. The story is titled “Cerby’s First Day,” and imagines Cerberus’ first day in the Underworld. You can find it at https://gohavok.com/.
 
Also of note: Samjoko Magazine did a nice review of my haibun poetry collection, In Days to Come. The link to the review can be found below:

What I’m Working On
Over the past month, I’ve been working on, and sending out, some flash fiction pieces as well as short stories. In November, I will once again attempt the NaNoWriMo challenge, targeting 30,000 instead of the standard 50,000 words. The plan is to work on short stories and non-fiction, with the attempt to write daily being front and centre.
 
Coming Soon
The Bicyclist’s Guide to the Galaxy, edited by Elly Blue, will be launching soon. This feminist fantastical volume includes my story, “Down Memory Lane.” More details at https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/45103.
 
An exhibit prepared by VR Forward, which features my poem “For Laika,” will be launching in Second Life shortly. More details to follow.
