I was just informed that my short story, PLAYING DEAD made the longlist for the Mslexia 2024 short story prize. I luff Mslexia. This is a big deal for me. The best part is I can tell my teen about it when I pick him up from school today.
Ironically, my longlisted story is about a teen in the early 1980’s–Prez Reagan decides to visit her little city–and chaos ensues– disrupting her already dysfunctional homelife.
Based on a true story, as they say. Sadly.
I write poetry and fiction for adults and children–check out my bio–which I will now update.
Yours in keeping on,
PB.

Congratulations! I’ve been trying to sub to The World’s Wife segment but no luck so far. It seems to be very popular.
Good luck! I just keep on trying. Sounds like you appreciate Mslexia as much as I do. 🙂
Congratulations!
