"It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms- all of them- may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage."
~Rod Serling

[HAD @havehadhavehad]

such a beautiful story of magic & wonder today from @MCSchmidt12

"And he wished that, on the precipice of his death, he might escape his body and travel to the outer reaches of all there was to see, impervious to cold and heat and unbreathable gases..."

My first published short story is out today with The Rumpus.
I'm so excited and proud and grateful and nervous. I received many rejections on this story, a handful of warm declines, and when Roxane Gay's acceptance came in, I cried (I rarely cry)! I couldn't be more thankful

[HAD @havehadhavehad]

another super fun one from the most recent call, from Anyu Ching!

"Except he’s not Kafka, not really. He’s just a man named Kafka who liked you on Hinge, and you were so intrigued by the prospect of a date with a man named Kafka that you could pretend..."

"Human beings must involve themselves in the anguish of other human beings. This, I submit to you, is not a political thesis at all. It is simply an expression of what I would hope might be ultimately a simple humanity for humanity's sake." ― Rod Serling

@KindlePromos Review of my naked sex slave novel: A tale of deceit, betrayal, but also companionship, love and courage to make the world a better place. The characters are really well developed, and it's nice to see then grow and question their beliefs. https://t.co/HQ76Tx3hHC

@KindlePromos If you only buy one book a month, think of Guardian next time you buy.

"...this book reminds me of the Christopher Reeves' Superman..."

“A superhero who gives you a sense of hope.”
