creative writing – Andy writes!

New fiction, ‘Serenity Security Solutions,’ published in MoonLit Getaway

Ever worry about getting locked out of your house?

It’s a fear I’ve had for ages. What better way to overcome a fear like that than to write about it?

That is, unless what you end up writing is along the lines of the one I wrote recently, “Serenity Security Solutions.” It was published today (Monday, February 10, 2025) in the literary journal MoonLit Getaway.

My thanks to editor Brandon Nadeau for selecting this story for his wonderful litmag. Please check out all the other amazing fiction, poetry, and artwork Brandon and his team have to offer.

Friday Five: Q&A with Thea Swanson, editor of Club Plum Literary Journal

‘It’s important to me to keep this going for years.’

Thea Swanson, founder and editor of *Club Plum Literary Journal*

When I first learned about this cool online journal called Club Plum Literary Journal and read about its mission to offer readers and writers “an ongoing literary conversation, a resonant entry into a beautiful or strange or dark place,” I knew I wanted to be a part of it. And I was thrilled when editor Thea Swanson selected one of my writings to include in the latest issue, which came out earlier this month. Once I learned the piece had been accepted, I invited Thea to take part in a Friday Five, itself an attempt at an ongoing literary conversation. Read on for insights from Thea about the journal she founded (now in its fifth year), her thoughts on writing and creativity, and a special touch she adds to each published piece.
