Very excited that my story “It Begins In the Garden” is now available in the brand new issue of Fusion Fragment. This story, about two girls who find something that looks like ladybugs but definitely is not ladybugs, was first published in Aliterate. It’s now part of a tremendous issue of Fusion Fragment, and you can pick up a digital copy of the zine (pay what you want!) or order a gorgeous print issue!
