My short story, The Hilltop Gathering, appears in this anthology. I’m so thrilled it got accepted because it’s my first published piece starring a person (or monster) who is disabled. It was great to respond to the call for marginalized voices. I can’t wait to read all the other stories, which come from authors around the world!

We Shall Be Monsters is now available on Amazon or the Renaissance website! Please consider supporting this really cool anthology and elevating our monstery tales!
