This story first appeared in the November issue of SciFanSat, a monthly free ezine. This one was actually nominated for the monthly award and was then published in the end of year nominees edition.

Updates (aka what do you mean it’s December?!)
I haven't put too many posts up lately, especially the second half of this year. I'd love to say it's because I've been busy... I can't, I can't say that. Well, I guess I can, if you count scrolling through social media in order to do prompt stories, or look at vidoes of cute animals. … Continue reading Updates (aka what do you mean it’s December?!)

vssGhostShip – Here we go again
So last year, #vssGhostTales did a year's worth of prompts and I somehow ended up writing a year long narrative poem. This year the vssGhostShip set sail. Knowing how hard it was last year, I decided not to do that again. So this year I'm just doing a straight story!!! No rhyming for this girl … Continue reading vssGhostShip – Here we go again

Cloaked Press are offering up three word Thursday prompts every week over on the socials. (Catch them all here.) Last week the prompts were: spirit, distance and memory.
