June 2025

Oh summer, we’re really in it now. The seasonal listlessness has gotten its tendrils into me, but I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with a few different projects. Keep swimming to keep your head above the surface.

This year’s Neo-Twiny Jam officially opened at the beginning of June and it’s been fun checking out entries as they come in. I always love seeing how people use their 500 words and how unique all the entries are. The uneasy and the absurd…Neo-Twiny always feels intimate to me because of the word limit, all these glimpses that become so evocative in relationship to their brevity.

Reads

  • The Horror of Haglin House, M. R. C. Kasasian
    Victorian murder mystery led by the determined Lady Violet Thorn, whose recuperative post-jilting stay in a sleepy market town is interrupted by a stranger’s desperate plea for help, then a series of murders all seemingly connected to the foreboding Haglin House.
    • Technically a Listen, since I checked this out as an audiobook narrated by Emma Gregory. Fantastic vocal range - I think I enjoyed the comedy of it all this way more than I would have in reading in print.
