It’s a privilege to have work featured in some fantastic publications. It’s amazing that these publications have given my stories a home.
Here are some highlights from a few of my favourite stories, including A hand to hold, my Kalemba Award-winning story.
He died and her existence shifted. The rock of her life had suddenly been sucked out of the world. She had never seen her mother spend so long huddled over in tears, body shaking with silent sorrow. Never before had she lost the words to encourage or express affection for her mother.
