I’m Published!
Both my fiction and my photography are being published this month! I’m SO happy! I feel like a “real” writer and photographer now. 😉
“My Angel” is a very short story in the July 2013 issue of the literary magazine Mouse Tales Press. Currently, the magazine is online, but this issue will be the first available in print, and very soon! ***July 10, 2013 Update: Mouse Tales Press now available in print!!***
“Imagination” is a highly saturated photograph that graces the cover of the No. 12 issue of the literary and art magazine Enhance. There is also a spread inside the magazine showcasing my photo book. This magazine is currently available in print! You can order copies here.
Go buy some copies and support these wonderful literary publications!!
Love,

The Full Moon Forgives
“I’m sorry.
I didn’t mean to do it, not really.
I mean, I considered it, but the possibility of death was slight.”
The full moon makes no reply.
“Okay, then. Thanks for listening.”

Oh, Here I Am… Drink Up!
Hello!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately.
I’m in the beginning stages of planning my newest novel. I’m really excited about it, so it’s been hard to pull myself away. I’m using the Snowflake Method, and it’s fantastic. If you are a writer and haven’t read about it, click and do so now. You won’t regret it. Besides planning ahead, like I’m doing, it’s great for organizing and mapping works you’ve already written, too.
Since I’ve been focusing most of my writing on this new project, I probably won’t be posting much of my fiction writing here. Unless, of course, I come across a particularly inspiring prompt and just can’t resist. 😉
I will, however, still be posting responses to at least one photo prompt a week. I love my photo prompts too much to resist, and they are a great break from writing when I need one.
So, without further ado, and in response to the Wordsmith Studio’s Weekly Photo Prompt, I say, “Drink up!”
Moscato is my favorite wine, light and fruity, and just a little bubbly.
Feel free to grab your favorite beverage and toast with me.
“To inspiration.”
“Cheers.”
Becca ♥
Making Love in the Library
“Please?”
“No, Alex. Absolutely not.” Mary slammed the book, and returned it to the shelf.
He pressed his body against hers, breathing heavily in her ear.
“Well… maybe,” she sighed. “Just this once.”
This 33-word flash fiction story was inspired by Trifextra 67: Onomatopoeia. This photo was inspired by two photo prompts: the Wordsmith Studio Weekly Photo Prompt: Books and the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: PatternHappy Writing and Photo Fun!

What Would Happen…
A stranger’s green eyes glanced in my direction. I pressed the elevator button, diamond-encrusted wedding set throwing sparks. After depressing another button, his hand brushed mine.
Then, my tongue slipped past his lips.
This 33 word flash fiction was written for Trifextra Week 65: use a hyphenated compound modifier.
Inspired by “What Would Happen” by Meredith Brooks.
