Lol I guess "soon" is relative—psyched to have work in some print publications! Three poems in Monster Beauties: A Trans Poetics Archive Anthology, a poem in Bloodletter Mag's Trans Voices in Horror zine, and a story in Edge City 2! All great gifts for the print-pub-loving lit nerd in your life!

Thanks to @jenaschwartz.bsky.social for creating this beautiful compilation! Daily prompts have become the highlight of my mornings, absolutely grounding me during these fragile times. Proud to have blurbed this book!

This tiny anti-Valentine's Day story first appeared in @moonparkreview.bsky.social, with art by Lesley C. Weston. Never forget there are fates worse than rejection.
Purple text reads: Love Bites by Goldie Peacock. A drawing of an orange and green fish riding a red bicycle. Grey text on a white background reads: The first time someone reels you in, cradles you, then throws you back will fuck you up. The second time'll fuck you up more-you'll start to think it's something about you. But the first time, oh that first time. There you are, minding your business swimming, when you see a shiny lure. You were fine with Grey text on a white background reads: your little fishy life but love the lure and bite and they reel you out of your element, into their orbit, treat you like a prize. Happy to be theirs, you try to learn to breathe like them. As you gasp, they put you on a bicycle you can't ride because your fins can't reach the pedals plus don't work like that, but again, you try because they want it. They see you can't and toss you back. The next time someone catches you, you've caught on. Now you look cute on a bicycle and have more practice breathing air, but this one simply tires of you, and back you go. The last one who catches you applauds your breathing, bicycle riding, by this time exceptional for a fish. You've won their affection, and as a reward, they cook you for dinner.

Apparently some document signed childishly in magic marker declares I don’t exist, yet here I am! In good lighting, even!
Goldie looks at themself in the mirror of the Radio City Music Hall bathroom. They wear a suede blazer, turquoise necklace, snakeskin shirt, cubic zirconia brooch, are nonbinary AF and exist.

Many thanks to @moonparkreview.bsky.social for the nom and congrats to my fellow nominees! Work nominated for this award has to be under 400 words—perfect for people with short attention spans. Dare I say the literature of the future?
