Travel is a good way to expand your mind. It's also a good way to find portals to other worlds hidden behind bookshelves, and collectible goblin bones in the old forest.

I have a story in this magazine. It's dark and empowering and pensive and witchy...and I really appreciate Trollbreath for giving it a home. Read "The Frayed Edges of Souls" by melee in Trollbreath #7.

It's a mystery: every three days for the past month, a new squash has appeared hidden inside your house. You've collected pumpkin, butternut, acorn, spaghetti, and several you can't identify. Today at last, you've figured it out. What is causing this glut of gourds? #TinyTalesTuesday #WritingPrompt
