Looking forward to the Mangione-inspired romance novels.
She was the daughter of an evil CEO.
He murdered her father in the name of justice.
When they meet unexpectedly in a fast food restaurant, will she rat him out? Or will he gun for her heart?
Find out in "Headhunt Hearthunt."

Stepping away from your work can be so rewarding, but damn if I don't feel guilty as hell for doing it.
feel like more of you should take 4 months off writing more often tbh

The worst part about getting poems accepted by journals is that you have to write more poems.
But an acceptance from @theoffingmag.bsky.social is totally worth it. 😎
