My short story “Counting Mississippis” is now live and available to read for free on Kaleidotrope! It’s a dark fantasy story about mothers and daughters and the storms they face together. There’s also quite a bit about hair in there; you might not realize it, but wrangling unruly locks is something I think about a lot.

I’ve read the rest of this issue, and every piece in there is strong. If you have a bit of time, it’s well worth reading the whole thing.
