Category: Micro fiction and poetry

Matchbook has a very unique project where they publish stories as Google Ads. Mine is about Velella, or By-the-Wind Sailors. They’ve always fascinated me, not least because they look like blue upside-down hearts. Read Velella, Velella and the entire Volume 4 of Ad Stories.

A micro poem for micro pirates. Bottle Pirates is up at Three Drops from a Cauldron today, along with fellow pieces that play with myths, legends, folklore, fables, and fairy tales. Here’s Issue One. Enjoy!

I have a new micro prose piece up at New South Journal today. Another retelling of the always retellable Alice in Wonderland. Before she went to space, Alice Ate Mushrooms. She collected asteroids from the belt, saved stars, spilled milk, spun dust, fished for stars, and jumped into tea.

A happy belated New Year’s. It’s the Year of the Monkey! Here is an amazing video of some very zen snow monkeys.

Some new Twitter fiction this week, mixing up Alice in five different wonderlands. Her adventures involve the Queen’s tarts, a dropped ball, borrowed shoes, her magic looking glass, and a house with edible eaves.

These stories were published in 7×20, a long-running Twitter fiction and poetry magazine that is currently edited by Julia Patt.

I have a tiny superhero poem called Dragon Girl that will be included in this year’s Dwarf Stars Anthology. Thank you to whoever nominated my poem! The 2015 anthology was edited by John Amen and is published by the Science Fiction Poetry Association. The table of contents is available here. This poem originally appeared in Ideomancer back in December.

I have a micro poem—Glass, Ceiling—up at the wonderful new lit mag, The Offing, a channel of the Los Angeles Review of Books, today. A little Hansel and Gretel in space-inspired retelling. Enjoy!

One of my tiny poems is in the December issue of Ideomancer. It’s called Dragon Girl, and it’s about a superhero. Check out the entire issue here.

I have a tiny poem called Hair Constellation up at The Teacup Trail, a lovely Tumblr-based lit + art magazine. It’s Rapunzel reimagined. Star watcher. Star catcher. Star shaper. Read it here.

My watercolor, “Curious Child,” is included in Issue 34 of the Berkeley Fiction Review.

I also had two Twitter fiction publications in January and February: Barnacle Hug in Cuento and Honeycomb Maze in 7×20.
