For those of you who live on my side of the International Dateline or across the pond, I am hosting Drop The Mic(ro) on June 3rd at 5pm Japan Standard Time (which should be 9am BST, 10am CET, 1:30pm IST and 4pm Singapore Standard Time).

This series, first hosted by the amazing Myna Chang, featured a who’s who of flash: Tommy Dean, Sarah Freligh, Tara Campbell, Francine Witte, Erin Vachon, Eric Scot Tryon, Timothy Boudreau, Abbie Barker, Patricia Q Bidar, Kristina Saccone, Eliot Li, Gillian OShaughnessy, and of course Myna!

I hope to continue this series by offering even more who’s who in flash: including Meg Pokrass, Slawka G. Scarso, Mandira Pattnaik, Eleonora Balsano, Meredith Wadley, KM Elkes, Ali McGrane, Sumitra Singam, Fiona McKay, Jude Higgins, Hema Natarajan, Tim Craig and me!

Every reader will have the opportunity to read one micro - if you want to join us and share in the wonderful world of words, please email me at melissallanesbrownlee @ gmail.com and I will send you the RSVP link!

I’m really nervous to host, but I was so sad to have missed the first one, and there are so many writers of flash who live outside of North America and I wanted the chance to feature some of them! Please join us!

Also, if you haven’t had the chance to read my recent Wind & Root column at Reckon Review - it’s about writing AND video games - so please check it out - there are prompts!

As always sending light and love and creativity!
