Winter Solstice for Oddball Magazine and I, as they publish "When She Missed the Ice"

For a magazine which calls itself Oddball, the synchronicity of placing my story "When She Missed the Ice" on the date of Winter Solstice is just about perfect and not odd at all.

The story is accompanied by a sweet photograph (above) by my friend Su Red---again, synchronicity--nice to be with friends. Etc. Etc. Blah.-Winter Solstice means ice, cold, snow and darkness---according to me. Which reminds me of how much I use these both literally and metaphorically. Here's the list of published work which includes those terms:
