Publication: "Dead Things in the Garden" in Thanatos Review

My micro-fiction story "Dead Things in the Garden" is out now in Thanatos Review's Issue 2 on Grief & Grieving. This is a death-positive magazine, which means matters around death are accepted and celebrated as a natural part of life. My story is about someone working in a garden and speaking to their deceased spouse. It's a near future sci-fi glimpse about how we might handle death and burial differently than we do today.

Thanatos Review has revealed the cover art for their second issue, which will contain my small story "Dead Things in the Garden" and will be out in mid-April. I love the photograph they've used!

Micro Fiction Acceptance! "Dead Things in the Garden"

I'm delighted to share that I received an acceptance from Thanatos Review for a micro fiction story I submitted to their special spring issue on Grief & Grieving. The story is called "Dead Things in the Garden" and is a death positive story told by a widower reflecting on his wife's passing as he tends her garden. I'll share the link when it's published!
