My short story, “Jordan,” has been accepted for publication by @pleiadesmag.bsky.social ! I couldn’t be more excited to debut in this superb literary journal.

This is a special day in the day of a writer. The day her contributor’s copy of a publication where she has work arrives & she can see what it physically looks like in the world. So I got my copy of @pleiadesmag.bsky.social where my novel excerpt “Visitation” appears in print. Alt4me
