Hey I'm a great copy editor, a better fact checker and if someone would need an ombudsman, it's the work I was born to do.
Who am I kidding, but hey, hit me up.

A grizzled force yanks Kitty to the ground. I hear the wind knock out of her followed by a little, wet gasp. I shatter my vocal chords as I throw myself toward the massive thing. With a wild snarl & another empty, long howl, it turns on me.

I've been in a "rejection rut" these last 2 months. Lots of passes in the inbox. Bu this morning, I got a short story acceptance from a "Probably don't have a shot, but I'll send it anyway" lit mag. 🥲 Nice way to start the weekend!

Long after #Collapse, an empath leads an odyssey across the former US, using the power of meditation, wilderness survival skills, and archaic tech to save her people.
Her mission grows to offer humanity a way forward in a world desperately in need of change.
