Shimmer’s next issue is coming out February 20th, and it will include my story, “Even Songbirds Are Kept in Cages.” Very excited to see this story become available.
You can order a copy here, both an electronic version and a print.
In the table of contents, here’s the glimpse of my story:
I was nine when my dad brought home the mockingbird lady. He clipped her wings and then took her up to the attic, carrying several coils of barbed wire along with him. When he came downstairs, he dusted off his hands and glared at my brother and me.
“There,” he said. “Never let it be said your dad doesn’t provide for his family.”
Looks like some other great stories included, most with a theme of birds or wings of some sort. Can’t wait to read through them all.
I see that smile.
