The latest issue of Ellipsis Zine, which includes my story, The Lonely Mermaid.
I decided a little while ago to periodically share updates on my writing ventures. With that in mind, here are a couple of links to pieces I was lucky enough to get published recently. I’ve also included the first line of each piece, to hopefully whet your appetite.
The latest issue of Ellipsis Zine had a ‘creepy and unsettling’ theme, and was released nicely in time for the Halloween season. It includes my somewhat sinister take on The Little Mermaid, and is available to purchase in physical and digital form, here. (First line: ‘My story begins after ‘happily ever after’, with the truth your mother doesn’t want you to know: I loathe my prince.’)
Issue six of Cauldron Anthology had an LGBTQ+ theme. My short piece of fiction, Todd, drew inspiration from the lore of the androgynous Japanese figure, Inari Ōkami. It can be read online for free, here. (First line: ‘Fresh wounds intersect with old scars in a map of fear and loathing.’)
Many thanks to anyone who checks out either piece. Happy reading!
Callum! I’ve been wondering if you are writing. So glad to see that you are! Your concept for “The Lonely Mermaid” is awesome!
Sharing to FB!
Thank you so much, Gina! That’s very kind of you 😊
Congratulations on both publications. I’m heading over to get my copies 🙂
Thank you so much, Mel. Your support is hugely appreciated, as always 😊
It’s my pleasure. I just read Todd and it’s wonderful; powerful, transforming and beautifully poetic. I take my hat off to you – how you manage to convey such a powerful message in so few words is a skill I’ll never have! 🙂
Well, this just made my day! Thank you so much, Mel 😊
You’re entirely welcome 😁
