An interview with Stephen Bent, author of Trees Grow Around Wire
by Sarah Orr Aten Sarah: First things first — can you tell me a little bit about your writing? How long have you been doing it? What does writing do for you? Steve: My blog is nine years old. SteveForTheDeaf came from two things. Firstly, as a long-haired, bone-idle twenty-something I spent hours debating musicContinue reading “An interview with Stephen Bent, author of Trees Grow Around Wire”
Trees Grow Around Wire
By Stephen Bret Part 3 The air outside was bright and heavy. Insects hummed in the grass. The clearing shone, almost white. Well, what passes for white around here. In each corner, where the sun caught the gravel, the bleached earth denied it had ever been mud, a bog, a puddle or dirt. It layContinue reading “Trees Grow Around Wire”
Trees Grow Around Wire
By Stephen Bent Part 2: It was not a stumble; I didn’t snag my boot on a root or slip in the wet. It was a drop. It was that precipice. And I ran straight off the edge of it. Straight off of the world I’d been hurrying through and into a deep, high-sided bowlContinue reading “Trees Grow Around Wire”
An interview with Ted Wallenius, author of Strapped for Love

Strapped for Love
By: Ted Wallenius Part 1 “I feel free,” Two-Cents thought. A moment later he remembered the double white lines of delicious Bolivian marching powder he and Janey Jones had just hoovered up in the bathroom. The bathroom was neither men’s nor women’s; it was just a bathroom, with clean towels, artwork including a small statueContinue reading “Strapped for Love”
Loss
By: Emily Amsel Part 3 When she woke, her muscles twanged and a headache greeted her, and lifting her head produced another bolt of pain. Someone had filled her mouth with paste, an interesting feat considering how she’d slept. She staggered into the bathroom and a ghoul looked back at her from the mirror. AtContinue reading “Loss”
Loss
By Emily Amsel Part 1 Elle woke to the sounds of her stepson leaping across the downstairs furniture, and shoved her head under the pillow, wishing for a few more minutes as the wooden feet scraped across the floor. And this was him being quiet. She sighed, testing the air outside the covers with oneContinue reading “Loss”

by Emily Amsel Jeremy: I’m Jeremy. I like reading and writing and TTRPGs and board games. I don’t have time anymore to do any of those things but I like the idea of them. Once I saved lizard. That’s the best thing I’ve done with my life. Emily: What gave you the idea for thisContinue reading “An interview with Jeremy Miller, author of Corrections”
