Wait we're spending a billion on medical research AND we're importing goods from not-America?? What happened to DOGE and America First??? This is an outrage!!

Killer thriller here by @poojajoshi.bsky.social in @mergansermagazine.bsky.social ! I was begging for more when I got to the end. mergansermagazine.com/index.html#A...

Cannot overstate my excitement and gratitude that @trampset.bsky.social will publish a story of mine in next week's monthly edition. The otherworldly beauty in the stories they publish fills me with awe, and considering my words there is incredible. Looking forward to sharing it with you.

Absolutely pristine beauty in this heartwrenching tale by Mandy Lange minervarising.com/petit-battem...

This is me except I did it 50 times last year.

Hey it's me!

😭 thank you Sarah!

Take a few minutes to read this amazing flash by @cuylermeade.bsky.social.

So grateful for @intrepidusink.bsky.social for publishing my story, La Perla de Gran Precio. You can read it here: intrepidusink.com/la-perla-de-... and check out our fun interview in my recent posts or theirs!

Thank you ever so much. It’s a great pleasure and honor to have my story included among the wonderful stories @intrepidusink.bsky.social, and I can’t wait for folks to read it! Thank you thank you!

Like so many authors, I’m trying to find my stories homes while simultaneously working to hone my craft and create more meaningful stories. You can find my most recent pub before this in @elegantliterature.bsky.social in the December issue. @intrepidusink.bsky.social

My pleasure! Here's the first line of my story.

The concept of sacrifice is really powerful to me. The title of this story references a Biblical parable wherein a man sold all he had to obtain a great treasure. The magic in this story explores just how much a person might sacrifice for what or who they treasure most. @intrepidusink

Magical realism takes our already pretty fantastical world and imagines if it were JUST a little more so. If the magic distracts you or replaces real emotions, I feel I’ve missed the mark. I want the magic to help us explore something real. @intrepidusink

Journalism taught me so many things I still use at work and while writing fiction...from writing compelling narratives to listening. The most valuable lesson reporting taught me was that every single person has a story worth telling, full of weight and emotion and color. @intrepidusink.bsky.social

I’m so happy to be here and so grateful for this opportunity! This is a great honor for me and I’m excited to talk about writing with you today. @intrepidusink.bsky.social

Hey Blueskycaptains of tomorrow! I'm going live chatting with @intrepidusink.bsky.social in maybe 20ish minutes to chat about my new story being published this morning on their website. Stick around and chat if you're so inclined!

We're so excited about @cuylermeade.bsky.social #magicalrealism forthcoming this week to Intrepidus Ink. Congratulations, Cuyler! 🙌 ❤️

Noseratu-ah, spit on that thing. This is my first post of the year.

RIP Jimmy Carter. The last (first?) Good person to be president.

Any time I forget to return them they CALL ME to ask nicely if I wouldn't mind bringing them back please?

We don't deserve mark Hamill.

This story is stunning. I can't recommend it enough.

Omigosh omigosh I just got the mail!! @slothandenvy.bsky.social !

Pretty special to partner with the incredible folks at Intrepidus Ink in the new year!

I don't know much, but I know there's no Walmart in Star's Hollow. What an absurd ad that was.

Spectacular

Overjoyed to share that @intrepidusink.bsky.social will be publishing my story La Perla de Gran Precio in early 2025. Honored and super excited for my short fiction to be featured alongside the excellent tales on Intrepidus Ink.

That "signed a publishing contract" feeling...🥲 More soon.

Just ordered both issues. Get good stuff, cheap and real!
