along with many other great works.

She is also editor for several award-winning titles, including the anthology

Tonight's Tale can be Found in.

Black Cranes, Tales of Unquiet Women,

edited by Lee Murray and Geneve Flynn, released by Raw Dog Screaming Press

in 2020.

smile hidden behind the hand of propriety and social expectation. You can find Lee at Lee Murray. info.
