shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/09/01/w... I am honored to be included in the Fall issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social. This flash is directly based on the 2004 Indonesian tidal wave and is, understandably, quite a downer. But the REST of the issue is gorgeous and uplifting! 🤣 #writer #author #flash
I'm going to get one of those "WWJD" bracelets that we all wore in middle school, only it's going to say "WWZMD," because I trust Zohran Mamdani to save us all. And because Democratic Socialism is actually the ideology that most closely resembles what Jesus was preaching about in the first place. 🤣

So delighted to have a copy of the summer issue of Metachrosis Lit Mag in my hands. They were kind enough to publish my hermit crab piece about my widowed Czech Grandmother’s late-in-life boyfriend, and it feels good to honor her legacy in this inconsequential way. :) #writer #writing #author

Y'all, I'm in the Fall Issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social with some flash fiction about the Indonesian tidal wave. And, yes, it's a downer, but I would still recommend you read this gorgeous magazine, because the other 44 contributors might have written something happy. Click the link to pre-order!

Because we all have a moral obligation to speak up. Complicity is now a crime in and of itself. I’m delighted to have my poem included in a collection that calls out injustice and fights for change. I hope you read my poetic rant! #poetry #poet #writer

"The Wendigo of Wall Street" by @shannonfrostgre.bsky.social is "a vivid, unpredictable escapade, a slippery slope into surrealism, and a hilarious satire of mythological proportions."

Y’all, this was meant to be a 2,500-word short story, and THINGS CHANGED. 🤣 Probably the most fun I’ve ever had researching, because the myth of the Wendigo is BANANAS. 🍌
After their disastrous first date, Juliette, an Anthropology professor, never expects to hear from Cole, a self-professed “Crypto Bro,” again. But when Cole texts her late one night, she finds herself caught up in a sordid plot of money, mythology, and murder.
