I’m excited to announce that my story “DEZLON-182-D’s Scrapbook” is available now as part of Harbinger Press’s Flash Fiction Fridays.  I don’t want to risk any spoilers, what with this story being newly published, but some other time I’ll have to share about how life sort of imitated art right after I’d completed the rough draft of this one.  That very same weekend.

What I can say for now is that the initial idea for this one came back when I decided to try my hand at making a scrapbook of my wedding rather than a traditional photo album.  I learned that I’m not a scrapbooker, no sirree.  Come to think of it, I should’ve known that already, because I’d tried once before for a study abroad trip.  That one I managed to complete.  The wedding one remains in progress.  While we were newlyweds, my husband encouraged me to focus more on my writing, as he knew it was a lifelong passion of mine.  So, I boxed up the scrapbook project, guilt-free, and started looking for a writer’s group to join.  And I’m so very grateful he did.  It was exactly the push I needed at that time.
