I’ve waited literal years for this ⁦@kayadierks⁩ story. You all know how much I love Kaya and her work. She says so much with so little. Her dialogue and characterization abilities astound. It will be a few decades before I write fiction this good. theadroitjournal.org/issue-f…

So lovely to be included in @gasherjournal’s Spring ‘23 edition! The pool ladder cover art feels so in tune with my short story questioning whether the search for safety is a black and white endeavor. Big thanks to @kayadierks for the editorial guidance! gasherjournal.com/single-pos…
