Congratulations to the published writers and artists, including Rebecca Dandridge-Walker, Julian Pantz and Kasra Shroff! Submissions for Issue 3 close on Halloween 2023.

My dystopian short story The Opposite of Truth was published last week in Post-Apocalyptic Media‘s anthology Through The Remains. The anthology contains the winning, runner up and commended short stories from Post-Apocalyptic Media’s 2022 Short Story Contest (mine was a runner up). Edited by Shawn Schuster, a cuddly zombie, the anthology is now available in paperback and as an e-book on Amazon and other online platforms!

There’s either something wrong with my eyes or Transference has topped 20M views on YouTube! I swear I was only responsible for one of these views! It’s mind-blowing a micro-budget film about a niche mental health topic like bipolar disorder can create a stir. Co-producing this indie film with one of my besties (director/actor Raffaello Degruttola) and his phenomenal cast & crew was honestly the best distraction I could ever have hoped for from the apocalypse of 2020-2022. Be bold and keep talking about mental health! Off to get my eyes tested – just in case. I may have to delete this post later.
