The Ditzy Druid

Issue 2 of Stone, Root, and Bone came out today! I haven’t finished reading my contributor’s issue, but my friends, it is gorgeous! When I got to my story, “Through the Brambles,” the image of the deer above brought tears to my eyes. You see, one of my closest spirit allies is the white tailed deer. Seeing them like that, accompanying my second ever paid publication, was a nod that I’m on the right path. There are deer in my story, but the publisher could have used other graphics. This was perfection to me. I’m so grateful to Hagstone Publishing for including me along with several other talented authors and artists.

To top it off, I started my day with this encouraging tweet:

Patrons of @HagstonePub got to read an excerpt in advance, and the story by @ditzydruid hit home for me on many levels:
Parenting. The border between home and the wild. Feeling lost.

Wish I’d had this to read 20 years ago!

Stone, Root, and Bone comes out tomorrow 🙏🏽 https://t.co/KvVyl2jbZ5
