“Matches”
My short story "Matches" appears in the first issue of Ashton House Magazine. The print publication aims to include many genres of pulp. My near-future P.I. story aims to hit at least a couple of those genres and sits alongside some recognizable names from last century. "Matches" is my angry-at-the-adoption-industry story. Angry at plenty of other things, too, but for this one adoption was at the core.
