Zathom
A new online 'zine. I found the call for microfiction a lot of fun and sent in some offerings. Of course, they were overwhelmed. Mine didn't get selected. Here are my favorites.

What about those deaf and dumb people? … Continue reading Writing Differently Able Characters

They provide us with uncomplicated relationships. They are not in contention with us about who will do the … Continue reading The Best of Us
