My latest published story "Moonlight and Roses" is in the January edition of @Abyss_Apex.
This tale sprang to life when I entered a writing contest and got assigned to combine two genres I never write (clockpunk and romance). There's a first time for everything!

The January 1, 2024 edition of Abyss & Apex is published. Read new fiction from Christine Lucas, Tom Howard, C.C. Graystone, Tammy Komoff, P.A. Cornell, and Jen Mierisch. Plus genre poetry and small press book reviews. It's all at https://t.co/O0k49gu55D
