PUBLISHED: Biscuits (Dogbumps School for Wayward Wixards)

Somehow I didn't realize this anthology was posted last July until a couple weeks ago. Oof. But hey! This is technically my first work ever published. Never too late to celebrate :)

Biscuits is a story I submitted to Thurston Howl Press for their anthology, Dogbumps. Here's what Biscuits is about:

Nuru Abasi, a young student of the Dogbump Academy of Wayward Wixards, is in love with star Grembat player Eirik Ulfren. Unfortunately, Eirik doesn't know he exists yet. They're not even from the same house--Eirik's a popular Danimine, while Nuru's a no-name Azenhuff.

With the helpful (and unhelpful) advice of his Azenhuff friends, Nuru sets to overcoming his bashfulness and earning the attention of his Danimane infatuation. First step: Building the courage to introduce himself. Second step: Defeat a flesh-eating Manticore about to devour half the school, Eirik and Nuru included.

READ LIST: November 2021

After getting a public library card, my books-per-month devour rate has shot up. If any of you are in Missoula, MT, definitely check out our public library! It's got a coffee shop, an entire floor devoted to a children's section, a parking garage, a 3D printer, a kitchen...

Every time I visit, I feel like I'm in Seattle.
