There are FORTY-TWO gorgeous flashes in Ghost Parachute's 10th anniversary issue and you should read them all. I'm about 3/4th of the way through. Very grateful to be included with my piece, "Archaeology," which I'd love for you to read while you're at it. 💙 ghostparachute.com/issue/octobe...

Artwork for my piece by Kaylan Stedman Friedman, showing two young girls in black and white, facing each other as if dancing on air, one holds a shovel. They are framed by two lilac bushes and these are colored in purple and green.

IN OTHER STORIES has been published three times. 9 writers are featured in all editions. Why do these flash writers, both fiction and non-fiction, consistently show up in my yes pile? The link to my conversation with Nontobeko Mtshali (one of the 9) is in the comments or follow the link in my bio.

23 Sept: Ace of Swords Something is beginning. It could be mental clarity, a spiritual breakthrough or a life changing idea. It is time to pay attention and see things how they really are. To be honest. This is the energy of force and courage. #tarot #aceofswords

22 September: Seven of Swords Going your own way and creating your own possibilities. Independence. Stay aware of deception and betrayal. Act from a place of love and integrity. Also ask: am I being honest about the nature of my reality right now? #tarot #sevenofswords #7ofswords
