I love em-dashes, semicolons, and utilize Oxford commas. I also describe nature with influences of Tolkien. Yes the story might meander into side quests but…it’s worth it.
Just because I was his wife didn’t mean I didn’t want Jeff to get girly sometimes. I don’t think he ever realised I knew all about his little secret. And he certainly never suspected that I had created it.
I should explain. I only started seeing him because I liked his sister. That didn’t come to much, and Jeff never knew about that, either. In fact, as I think back to it, Jeff didn’t know much about anything.
I have completed #StoriesOnFire with 26/30 stories. It was quite an experience. I allowed myself to go places that I normally wouldn't go, and there were places I should have gone sooner. There are several stories that are certainly getting polished up and submitted somewhere.
With thanks to @telinartho for getting me onboard.
Ok, i need a #betareader for a #toxicology#shortstory about the untimely death of Dr. Patrice Piebald, who angered a lot of people, and died three times as a result.
This one is likely to be published at Physician's Weekly in mid January 2024, or if you DM me an email Addy, I can send you the draft when it's been edited.
Ok tootlers, give me the name of my pharmacist in a #wip#shortstory, who is hard working, conscientious, and beleaguered, and finally ends up murdering my dude the endocrinologist.
If this is someone you know, don't tell me that, and if it is you, you are welcome to use a stage name or your real name and tell me a few facts about yourself to make the character feel like you.
Yesterday I got author copies of my most recent book, a collection of short stories titled Where Rivers Go To Die. They look lovely and the red tones make me want to change my favourite colour from blue to red. You can find yourself a copy of this book on online stores.
These are stories I've written over twenty years, since the earliest I first wrote circa 2003-4
HEART OF THE COVENANT by @dovelynnwriter.bsky.social is perfect for sci-fi lovers of quieter Star Trek episode or Becky Chambers' work.

Hedriar has been chosen to represent her homeworld within the Galactic Covenant. There she'll meet new friends and discover that people aren't as different as all that.
My short story is live on Kindle Unlimited! I had so much fun writing this tale. We combined some of my favorite holiday things like a big performance with lights (courtesy of magic), a chorus singing, hot drinks, gift giving. And then fused it with a low stakes fantasy adventure and magical creatures. I hope you enjoy it!
