I always get a big happy when I get into Dreams & Nightmares! My fairytale poem "Separated" appears an issue 131. This is a personal favorite of mine so I was really, really glad it sold here. dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.blogspot.com/p/ordering-d... #Poetry #SpeculativePoetry #Fairytale #Poem

I guess my fawn daycare, Leen's Noms & Naps, is open for business. These two's mom grabbed some dinner then went out for drinks with the girls. Fawns are confused--first day at daycare is always challenging. One is sleeping just outside fence, always gotta be a rebel. #deer #summerinvirginia #fawns

What a read this is! It covers so many things while being heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching. I loved this book. If you like horror, read it! #horror #book

Just finished this and loved it so much! Do yourself a favor, especially if you like horror combined with ancient legends/fables (and/or snakes), and read this book! #books #fiction #horror #queerhorror

It's out! Because of course you would release an anthology about black cats on Friday the 13th! I'm super stoked to have my poem "Does That Familiar Come in Black?" included. geni.us/blackcattale... #catanthology #blackcat #blackcats #speculativefiction #speculativepoetry

The beds and patios were looking a little overgrown so I called on reinforcements to the regular lawn guys. Really like them and it's a female-owned company. #Deer #BackyardDeer #SpringInVirginia #SummerInVirginia #VirginiaDeer

DId you know?
Regular reading over the summer strengthens vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, all of which contribute to overall academic success.
