"Drosera regina" is here! 📚
The men knew before she did. Before this boy, before sophomore year, before even her twelfth birthday, they had jostled her on the sidewalk and hooted from cars, searching for something just past her skin. But now, with her panties stripped off and the boy’s eyes on her, Jackie felt a strange prickling. A warning pacing behind her ribs. A mouth about to drip.
Autumn is here, and so is “Drosera regina,” now available at Lightspeed. Take a break from the daily horrors and slide into this story of a woman whose body behaves like a carnivorous plant.

SNAP benefits are being cruelly suspended on November 1, meaning over 40 million Americans will be without food stamps.
If you can, setting up a monthly donation to your local food bank is the best way to help. They can stretch a dollar further than you, and recurring donations mean they can better plan their expenses.
You can find your local food bank at Feeding America or search online for neighborhood pantries / kitchens.
Help people get fed, then enjoy my story about a woman with an unusual appetite. See? I made it work.
