Hello lovelies,
I have exciting news – Issue VII from All Worlds Wayfarer is now LIVE, and I’ve been exceptionally lucky and privileged to have my flash fiction piece Monster included in their amazing lineup.
Monster details an encounter between a deep sea mermaid and a submersible, bringing forth emotions and memories left behind with the tide, reemerging with just one word.
You can buy a copy of Issue VII on Kindle here. I highly encourage you to grab a copy to support the hard work being put in at All Worlds Wayfarer. The full TOC is as below:
