We are almost there. SmokeLong Quarterly Issue 60, our 15th-anniversary issue. Twenty-three amazing stories--so varied and each a stellar example of flash. The accompanying interviews are so important. If you write flash, these interviews will inspire you.

So happy that this strange little piece of my heart found a home in (b)OINK zine — and also that it has such great company, including two of my favorite people, sara lippmann and Sarah Kunstler. boinkzine.com/2017/12/12/no-…
