"The Least" -- A New Story in a New Magazine


If you or someone you know is on the hunt for clean fiction that is appropriate for teen reads, then you definitely need to check out Sparkler, a brand-new online magazine!  Sparkler is devoted to connecting readers in search of clean YA fiction with authors who write exactly that.

Authors like me :-)

In fact, I have a flash-fiction story in their debut issue, which dropped today!  It's all about a young man striking out on his own who has taken what he was told is a shortcut, and he finds something unexpected along his chosen trail... something that forces him to make a difficult decision.  It's called "The Least," and you can read it right here.  It's historical fiction, a cozy Christian western just like you'd expect from me :-)

Agree or disagree? That is the question...
