Truthfully, I received my advance reading copy of ​A Phoenix First Must Burn a few weeks ago, but y'know... life happens.

So this is the first time I’ve ever seen my words in print. Surreal can't even sum up how I felt as I saw the words that I've typed on my computer and written in my notebook were staring back at me. MY WORDS ARE IN AN ACTUAL BOOK. And let me just say, it’s humbling to have a story alongside such talent, and an honor for my short story to close the anthology. I'll write more details about my story 'Sequence' in another post (I mean I have to leave y'all in suspense), but for now, here's more information about A Phoenix First Must Burn. ​Make sure to pre-order your copy!
