Wild to be at that point in the year already where we’re making eligibility posts! I have one story this year eligible for awards, and I’d love it if you read and considered it.

“Endless Thirst, Undying Desert” Kaleidotrope Summer 2026 (3800 words).

What’s it about? you ask. Well! Let me tell you:

🗡️🗡️🗡️KNIVES!! YOU GET TO BE A KNIFE 🗡️🗡️🗡️

🏜️ Three People You Might Meet in the Desert

Here is a graphic that the magazine very awesomely created with a quote to further ✨entice✨ you into reading:

Anyway, if you’ve read and enjoyed this or previous works of mine, or shared them on social media– a huge thank you! It means the world to know my writing’s resonated with you. Thank you as always for your support, and thanks for your consideration this year. More to come in 2027!
