The Lamplighter – Lisa Carreiro Guest Post

Today I’m lending my blog to Rhonda Parrish and Lisa Carreiro to help spread the word about Saltwater Sorrows, Rhonda’s latest anthology release. Saltwater Sorrows Deep, mysterious, beautiful… dangerous… Women and the sea have been tied together in myth and story from the beginning of time. Tales of women being drawn …

Equus Table of Contents – Including Yours Truly!

I have an exciting announcement to make today. I’ve been putting it off until things were finalized, but it’s official as of today–I’m going to have a story in a forthcoming anthology called Equus!

Book Rec: FAE – anthology edited by Rhonda Parrish

Book reviews aren’t my mainstay here on the blog, but I like to tell people about books I enjoyed, and I have to say that FAE is one of my favorite reads this summer. I read it just after it released, and weeks later, some of the stories are still sticking with …
