“I will wish I’d shown you a better way to live inside a body.” Gorgeous heartbreaking writing from @tracieadams.bsky.social in Bright Flash 🧡🧡🧡
This is one of my very favorite lit mags because every piece they publish stays with me long after I read it. So it’s an honor to be included in the June lineup with these stellar writers. Check it out! 💖
Yay!!!!

I loved this novel. Great characters, lovely descriptions. ❤️
Special pub day for me. This CNF was workshopped in @smokelong.bsky.social (thanks peeps) and written in honor of my youngest daughter— we recovered from our eating disorders together. Thanks to Bright Flash Literary Review for publishing Rebirth.
