I was writing a wee serial on substack before I abandoned the platform, but I also abandoned the story.
Here, rising from the ashes... A pair of witches!“Succumb to my devil vagina magic!” Shouted the naked woman as she ran down the street, the wind and rain not bothering her at all.
The suited guy she was chasing ran like his life depended on it. It didn’t, but he didn’t know that."

Behind the Scenes: Part 5
The storyboards are taking shape in The Book Nook. I wanted to drop in and share a raw, quick sketch from the draft table as our newest picture book builds momentum. Capturing the emotion in a scene before any painting begins is where the real storytelling happens. These initial drawings are the blueprint for everything to come, giving us our very first look at how the pages will feel in a child’s hands. I cannot wait to share the next steps in this journey with you, so stay tuned right […]https://heathercongrove.com/2026/09/09/behind-the-scenes-part-5/

The Sun’s Beloved – Àsùnmọ́ (Embrace the Sun)
a half dragon born to Ashuton, Nari and Niccolo
a dragon of the moon and stars, worshipped in the modern day
he was stolen from them and marked as a divine envoy
forced to join the proto-Sun Devourer cult
he is forced to telepathically connect to an emotionally distant serpent god
it is painful for him, but he feels himself growing closer to the seemingly cold god
his followers await his reappearance
even in his absence, they still beg for his guidance under the Big Dipperday after day he completes tasks meant to appease the serpent
writing constant devotions, praises and affirmations
but sometimes he fights against it
he writes his resistance against the serpent
as punishment for his insubordination,
the serpent cursed him to become his divine representative
forsaking his own divinity of the stars and pledging only to him
linking them for as long as he livesbut at the end of his service, Àsùnmọ́ is fated to be devoured
brought before the serpent and eaten, his power stolen in the process
he values his life, he values waking up every morning
he values the moon, the stars, the sky, grapes, the friends he once had
he doesn’t want to die…
he still dreams of having his first kissName meaning
A common Yorùbá oríki, likely meaning someone that you like to be with or be around. (Source)

Announcement: New Reading Period for the Fall Issue
Hello to all the writers, poets, and artists, and to our Heart of Flesh family,
We have a new reading period this year for our Fall issue! Our submission window will open on July 20th (in two weeks!) and will close on September 20th. Our editor-in-chief will be going on a mission trip at the end of September into October, and she needs a little extra time to go over submissions. The issue is still scheduled to be released in November.
We’re so excited to read your work. If you feel led, please pray for our editor — for the submission process, for the mission trip, and for the wisdom, discernment, and blessing from God to cultivate an issue that will glorify Him above all else.
May God bless and guide you all on your creative journeys, and we hope to see your work in the coming weeks!

More 2025 short fiction: this one reimagines the life of Alan Turing if he crossed into the fairy world and had a life long affair there. Gorgeous prose. Structured only by the events of Turing's life. Strongly recommended.

Okay, I'm back to catching up on 2025 short fiction reading. Zach Shephard's "From Darkness, Awake" ran in this anthology about Circe and has her taking on a drug lord in present-day Miami. I thought the blending of myth with crime fiction was creative.

I loved the format on this short story: I could see where it was going the whole time, but the step-by-step gave it an emotional punch it wouldn't have otherwise had. Recommended reading.
