Very excited to have a speculative flash piece out with Small Wonders today!
Whomst among us hasn't had a mother who scoops out her eyes with a spoon and lets us play with them? But that's just the beginning of @montanna-harling.bsky.social's story "Oleander".
Oleander - Small Wonders
Mama scooped her eyes out with an heirloom ornamental teaspoon, and let them roll to the floor.

We’ve been selling books in San Diego for 33 years, but lifelong San Diegans still have never heard of us.
Indie bookstores don’t have marketing budgets to pay for ads on Google or sponsor huge events.
What we rely on is you. Word-of-mouth is the lifeblood that keeps indie bookstores alive.

If you’re on the fence about supporting us for your books over Amazon, would it help to know we didn’t sponsor the White House’s Easter Egg Roll last week like Amazon?
