Picture of the cover of my novella-in-flash Mother Karma. Ochre yellow background with a line drawing of a woman with a bindi and her hair in a bun holding a baby. The lettering is “Mother Karma a Novella-in-flash” above the picture and below the picture Sumitra Singam (which is me, that is my name. On the cover of an actual BOOK)

“This is the one in which their paths never cross. It is unclear what their opinions of each other would have been had they ever met.”

One couple, nine different lives in which they orbit, meet, and possibly fall in love. Fabulous story by @anniejowrites.bsky.social in Short Story Long!

✨Today’s Bookmail!✨

A bold and striking collaboration of words by @vikkicwrites.bsky.social and images by @rfredekenter.bsky.social (both amazing artists that I very much admire) published by @icefloepress.bsky.social

This book is a wordy visual treat (also, a great holiday gift idea)!
The book ‘In the Blueprint of Her Iris’ with poems by Vikki C. and art by Robert Frede Kenner sits amidst pine tree boughs and lights. Two small Christmas tree balls, on red, one gold, hang next to it.

Interested in interviewing me about my upcoming book, Every Galaxy a Circle? I can talk about writing speculative fiction, why short stories are the best, monsters, baking, outer space, and more. Wow what an interviewer's dream!
The cover of Every Galaxy a Circle by Chloe N Clark. It is in shades of greens and pinks, depicting abstract planets flying through the night sky.
