Hi! This is the last talk story of the year!

So, let’s start with my latest publication today in Empty House Issue Nine - Sweet Water! They even used my art for it!

I am so grateful to Cara Downey and Erin Calabria for accepting my piece and working with me to make it better!

Also, I am super honored to have my story The Reused Cool Whip Container nominated for Best American Short Stories by Ruby Lit! Thank you April Bradley!

Next, I received a wonderful email from Josh Sippie, fiction editor at The Razor, this morning that they have nominated my story Playing With Fire for Best Small Fictions!

I didn’t think I would be receiving any more nominations this year, so this was a wonderful week (even though I am still feeling the burnout).

Finally, I posted up my yearly thank you so much for publishing my work tweets!

As always, I am grateful for all of you in my writing community. I hope you are all well and staying safe. Wishing you all health, creativity and love!
