Hi All!
How are you? Putting skeletons in your window as we speak? Contemplating pumpkins?
I’m all right! I’m here to tell you that my collection GLASS STORIES is out now, making its fragile way in the world.
This collection has been published by Grimscribe Press, a small press from New Orleans run by the great writer and champion of writers Jon Padgett. Grimscribe has published many strange and fascinating books, including two collections by Gemma Files.
If you order from Grimscribe, I give you permission to feel good about supporting small presses! Small presses give voice and access to writers outside the mainstream.
Once you read Glass Stories, feel free to leave reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.

WHAT’S GLASS STORIES AGAIN, PRECIOUS?
It’s a small collection of 17 stories, mostly unpublished, all involving glass in some way, and often involving almost unrecognizable versions of fairy tales (which are among the darkest of all tales). Admittedly, these stories are special to me.
Much appreciation to the editors of magazines who took a chance on publishing these stories. It means a lot to me.
Many thanks for all your support! And tearful thanks to Seán Padraic Birnie, Tiffany Morris, Carson Winter, Andrew F. Sullivan, Joe Koch, and Christi Nogle for your kind blurbs (which can be found at https://grimscribepress.com/glass-stories/).
I’m sure I’ll have more to say about glass and stories at a later time. In the meantime, I have some upcoming interviews I’m excited to post this week and in coming weeks!
Thanks forever,
Ivy
Congrats on the release, Ivy!!! I can't wait to read these stories.
