My flash-fiction story, “The Conceit of Sand,” was picked up by Third Wednesday Magazine. If you need a pick-me-up in your hectic week, this publication has the perfect balance of brief and deep. I’ve enjoyed reading the stories and poems of contributors and I’m humbled and excited to be included among them.
You can read my story here. Inspired by a recent trip to Pensacola Beach, these 241 words are a nice nibble for you to chew on.

Fantastic, Penny. Not at all surprised this poem was picked up for publication. I immediately think of a married couple when I read these lines. How complicated (and salty) relationships are.
