June has been a busy month: I submitted my MG historical/fantasy fiction to a publisher and an agent, submitted two short stories and drafted a new fantasy novel. And - as every month - I have received a few rejections.

The good news of the month is that I have 6 publications coming out!
Three flash fiction SciFi stories and three poems are out this months (as soon as tomorrow, in fact)!
Poetry
The lovely people at Baby Teeth Journal will publish three poems of mine tomorrow and an interview with me later this week.

'In A Name' is my latest poem and is included on their patreon page. Here is an excerpt from the first half of the poem (read the full poem here):

Beyond the fence...
'A Dog' is a poem I wrote after our dog died a few years back. Here is and excerpt:
...We sit
until the sun burns into our backswe start going backWe walk along the suburban remnants of the bush,
back to our streetYou run aheadknowing the way
I follow...
