Sound Retreat

My story “Sound Retreat” will be one of twenty-odd short stories featured in an anthology to be titled “The Wordsmith Chronicles” sponsored by Sweetycat Press. It is due out in January 2021.

Very little that I write is not torn out of my heart, and this story is in that tradition. There is stuff on the surface, and then there is stuff lurking below the surface.

It’s weird, you see, because I’d been talking to my therapist about barriers, and then this story appeared, and those barriers had to be breached. Had it not been for therapy, this story would look different, or not have made it.

The strange happenstance of existence.
