I don’t mind telling y’all: I was not in a good mood when I woke up today. I was in an exhausted, why-do-I-have-to-be-conscious-at-all mood, and I had no other plans but to sit on my couch, sulk in my corner, and basically hate everything in the whole world.

But the world had other plans.

Happily announcing that my flash fiction, “Caretaker,” will appear later this year in Shimmer. If you’ve never checked out Shimmer, it’s absolutely worth a look. They publish some absolutely lovely and haunting work from a variety of great authors — and now I get to be one of them!

It’s official, people. Today rules.
