From The Unshuttered Window, a short story.
“I need to stop now before my soul unravels in a bleeding, self-indulgent mess.
I will run a bath and try to soak away my anguish, but no amount of water will dissolve my old regrets.”

I had a great day in London with @KitStoneWrites going to Virginia Woolf's house, then to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Tate. She was an amazing woman, starting as a surrealist model and photographer, to becoming a brutally honest war photographer. Check it out. #SapphicRomance #AuthorLife
