Pendulum falls: Friday Update
News:
The Mystical Listicles have begun! 17 horror flash fiction pieces will be posted to the Crystal Lake Patreon this month, for $5/month tiers and up to read and vote on. The titles alone made me happy, but I had a really good time reading these submissions, and I would absolutely do this again. It’s on my bucket list to edit an anthology.
Tattered & Torn (Meridian Book 6), under my other name, is out now! A fallen angel with empath abilities and a pair of police detectives who handle the more mysterious cases in Meridian join up when the angel falls and children start going feral on the city streets.
Works in Progress:
Working on May Cooler Heads Prevail continues apace. Wednesday helped me leap forward a bit, and I’m on holiday today and tomorrow, albeit with family at home, so I might get some more work done on it. There’s no rush. Based on my calculations, I’ll need about another three months to meet an editing budget. Making not much money isn’t fun, but I suppose it’s better than not making any.

Poem of the Week:
the subsistence of memory
a bright point of remembrance
in a pitch-black sea of forgotten
and psychedelic colors of fabrication
of what are we made? what happened
or the hand-stitched scrap quilt
we cobbled together of prisms
black holes and singularities?
