Thrilled that my new (weird) short story, "Water to Water, Sea to Sea," is out today with the amazing @pipelineartists.bsky.social! Thanks to @spmjm.bsky.social and @jeannevb.bsky.social! You'll never think of the sea lamprey the same way again. #flashfiction

Water to Water, Sea to Sea

When I’d imagined my own death, I suppose everyone does sometimes, it wasn’t like this.

It's amazing how few people are considerate of other people's well being. Or even their own.

I love how everyone masks at your classes.

And yet there is a lot of literary writing with a strong plot.

ICYMI: Kittens everywhere are going crazy for @cindyfazzi.bsky.social's new #action #thriller novel: "Danger No Problem"!

Photo of Danger No Problem propped against a blue sofa. A pillow is in the corner. Four small kittens are running in a circle in front of the book. They are blurred because they are moving too fast.

Goodbye #foster #kittens. On to your next foster home.

Very artistic photo of a very young orange and white kitten. The kitten is standing on a wooden floor looking into the camera. The sun is shining, beautifully illuminating the top of the kittens' head. Dark blue circles seem to surround the kitten, an effect of the sunlight on the dark blue sofa in the background.

Here it is! So excited to get my copy of @cindyfazzi.bsky.social's newly released thriller: Danger No Problem. Kitten sold separately. #fiction #thriller #bookskye

Photo of the book Danger No Problem. It is on a blue sofa, leaning against the back sofa corner. A blue blanket is on the sofa. A pillow with blue/white, grey, brown leaves is behind the book. A small orange and white kitten sits next to the book, occupied with washing himself.
