Some Excellent Publishing News

My short story, "Clouds from Up and Down" was published this week by the Longridge Review. Inspired by lyrics from Joni Mitchell's song "Both Sides Now," the story contrasts innocent, white cloud youthful days with the dark, stormy days of a marriage gone bad.

The Longridge Review is an e-zine that began as the Essays on Childhood project. Below is their mission statement which explains the nature of the essays they publish.

"Our mission is to present the finest essays on the mysteries of childhood experience, the wonder of adult reflection, and how the two connect over a lifespan.

We are committed to publishing narratives steeped in reverence for childhood perceptions, but we seek essays that stretch beyond the clichés of childhood as simple, angelic, or easy. We feature writing that layers the events of the writer’s early years with learning or wisdom accumulated in adult life."
