I have three pieces of microfiction in two different publications this month: “Ys” and “Vacation” at Wigleaf (alongside a “postcard”) and “Dating Men with Biblical Names” in the most recent INCH. You can buy a very tiny, adorable copy of INCH here (I’m in Issue #20) and see the Wigleaf pieces here, here, and here.
