I adore this story.
(And the Friendo who wrote it!)
My story is out in Small Wonders today!

“What was supposed to happen was this: on the faire’s opening day, Princess Lilaclaire would visit the pond, kiss a frog into a prince, share a candy apple with him to test their true love, and live happily ever after.”

Read to see what actually happened…
Something has gone awry at the faire this year, and Princess Lilaclaire is not having a great time. Check out "Princess Lilaclaire and the Witch's Frog Faire" by @indigorue.bsky.social today and see what happens when the frogs just aren't cooperating:

Yes. Make the pretty words hurt. 🩷

Congratulations, friend! A well deserved win.
I’m so pleased to finally be able to share my winning NYC Midnight story with everyone.

I write about grief often—it’s how I process, and how I work though my fears. This story was no exception.
We are proud to present the winning story from last year's 500-word Fiction Challenge! Read "Watchmaker's Hands" by
@scmillsbooks.bsky.social at nycmidnight.co/411DmwA. Original illustration by Yevgenia Nayberg. Enjoy, and get ready for this year's 500-word challenge kicking off on August 15th!

Holiday weekend game night #2: Betrayal at House on the Hill. One of us was a secret spooky alien, and it wasn't the one making chainsaw noises. Also, who designed this house, and why is the only bathroom in the attic?

A close game between Catpitalists, Blastoise, (S)PsYchics, and The Lorax. At the height of the cold war, all my ships were on the board (alas, no war suns) + you-don't-even-wanna-know how many infanTree.

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE.

We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

Friendo Ben! He's creative, he's witty, he's an escape room designing polyglot magician! 🪄 Also, he's a damn good beta-reader buddy. It was a treat to hear him on WIP today.
I was interviewed by the brilliant Writing in Progress podcast last week. If you want to hear about magic, language learning, and erotic fossils then we've got you covered!

Sent out five submissions today. Realized when I finished that two of them were about butts. Not zero. Not one. Two. #classy

Dear magazines, I am a serious author. Please publish my butts. 🤣

Listen. Who doesn't love an occasional naughty read? And this one has LORE.

The story is so compelling, you almost forget you're reading a naughty book. Almost. 😉 Then you get to a scene with some sexy fun time, and it's hot as hell.

Proud of you, friendo!!! 🩷 @mglaz.bsky.social
I know, we all hate the 'zon, but Stone Heart by Mallory Glass is 99 cents for the next couple of days! Should you like to avoid 'zon, you can buy the paperback on Bookshop.org or at B&N, etc.

We love you all regardless. 📚💙 🌶️📚
