Well folks we're back up and going...As usual, it was something simple and I just overthought it. Sorry for the time I've been down. But here ya go...povertyhouse.net/
Thank you all so so much. Greatly appreicated!
Here's why you should give our friends at @PovertyHouse a follow: it's a collective of eclectic writers doing their thing thanks to the amazing @ShelCompton giving them free creative rein. It's a unique project that deserves more attention.
Follow & share ♥️
Delphine is a pure angel.
When @ShelCompton sent me an invitation to join @PovertyHouse it could not have come at a better time because I was (once again) wondering whether I was wasting my time 'with this writing thing'. He is one of the most supportive (& kindest) editors I have worked with.

Two weeks left in the semester so I’m thinking about summer. “Teachers are so lucky …” Don’t start with that, rather read my blog post on the topic. 💙🙏 @PovertyHouse @ShelCompton

povertyhouse.net/post/a-math… Check out @FBereaud new column on @PovertyHouse which dispels the notion math teachers don't work in the summer...or only care about the numbers...touching read!

In’da House again. @PovertyHouse @ShelCompton. Stoked for Oblivion Angels from my man, Shel. ❤️🙏 povertyhouse.net/post/it-cou…
Oh and if you follow us we will follow back, every time. It seems strange to have someone say, "I will be your friend," and then not say the same in return. So if you want to be our friend, we want to be yours.
Hello friends. What can Poverty House do to entice more posts from our invited bloggers? We have plenty more we'll be inviting over the next month, but, obviously, we invited those we have so far because we like what you write. Write something for us, won't you?

Got a chance to read an early edit of this one. This story rips! Glad to see @CVillasFiction found a home for it over at @PovertyHouse!
Here's a piece of short fiction from @CVillasFiction called "Tinderbox Blood" that I know he worked hard on and it was worth it. Enjoy! povertyhouse.net/post/tinder…

@CVillasFiction up at @PovertyHouse 💔
This one feels damn good. “Tinderbox Blood” now up at @PovertyHouse, somewhere I’ve long admired. @ShelCompton, you took the time to help shape this piece into what it is now, and for that I thank you. And thanks to so many others for your support with this one. Hope y’all enjoy!
