I was supposed to be writing, but I got distracted looking up vegetarian soup cookbooks at the library, as one does. One is called "Twelve Months of Monastery Soups," and you know I'm checking that one out. Any vegetarian soup recommendations?

If you fold rose petals - one, two, inside, outside, twist - you can see other worlds. On one side Feetrice has snubbed the Duke; on the other the Queen Of Stars sees all. All except Beatrice apparently. One, Two, Inside, Outside, Twist by @bethgoder.bsky.social

On this side, Beatrice is a librarian who can bake the most delicious strawberry tarts. She has a degree in mathematics and a penchant for books that never explain themselves. Every Sunday, Beatrice finds versions of herself in other worlds. She peers into their lives through the openings she can make, but no matter what she does, those other Beatrices never look back at her. She wishes that, just once, they would see her, too. But wouldn’t it be worse for them to look at her, in her wool shawl and sensible shoes, with her timid smile, and turn away again? She’s the sort of person who everyone forgets to invite to parties. She reads too late into the night; she never knows the right thing to say when someone has a minor pain; she actually enjoys unloading the dishwasher, putting each spoon in its proper place. What if, out of all the Beatrices in all possible worlds, she is the only one who is too dull to be worth watching?

🦋 Cover Reveal!✨ So excited to finally share the cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social 🎨

Cover art I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward. Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in intense ochre yellow and mahogany brown shades with pops of pale yellow for the berries. Over top is a handmade paper texture and fine line ink work in brown and pale yellow for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.
