So ecstatic that I can officially announce that “Skin and Bone” which first appeared in Astrolabe, will be in Best Small Fictions 2023!!

Created in SmokeLong’s workshops and continuing my Tita series, this story is also the kernel of the first chapter of my novel which brings me to novel writing summer which I will joining Exodus on - I think it’s a very lowkey, low pressure goal of a minimum of 15 minutes a day and I think that’s doable. Wish me luck!

That’s about it for this week! Going to celebrate with some bourbon or a caip, I think lol

As always sending light, love and creativity!
