    Twin Pies Literary publish my surreal short story The Blue Building

    December 11, 2020 /

    I’m delighted to have a story published by Twin Pies in their second issue. When I discovered this magazine and read they like weird and unusual stuff I thought it was worth taking a shot with this story. I came up with a random title and started writing, having no idea what was going to happen or what the journey could mean. I come up with titles after I start writing most of the time so this was a little experiment for me which I’m pleased came together.

    You can view the magazine for free here and catch the talented work of other writers and poets: https://www.twinpiesliterary.com/volume-two
