There’s a super cool anthology that is releasing in September. It’s called The Darkest Night and I have a story in there. I dearly love this sad little tale! Stay tuned for the cover reveal on March 14.
“Holding Hands Like Paper Dolls” Released in Parallel Lines!
Here you see a picture of a delighted author holding her copy of Parallel Lines. It’s a music-based anthology edited by Staci Layne Wilson.
