My story, “The World on my Shoulder“, was recently published in the Spring 2018 Issue of Solstice Literary Magazine! Editor-in-chief Lee Hope was a great help getting the piece ready for publication, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product.
An excerpt—
I’d offered the invitation as we were pulling up to the curb, realizing that my parents hadn’t seen her place yet, thinking they’d just pop in and out, oh how nice, and what’s that?, a loft, how cool, how hip, oh look at the time, we’d best get on the road before traffic gets too bad, got to check on the dog, you know how fussy he can be, Bill!, do you need to use the bathroom?, he always has to use the bathroom, go ahead and go we all know you need to go, the quicker you go the faster we can get on the road, the faster we can let the kids get back to living their lives.
But maybe not.
If you get a chance, definitely check out some of the other awesome work in the issue. Lee and Solstice have made it their mission to promote diversity and inclusivity, as well as the voices of emerging writers such as myself.
