To celebrate the release of Perchance to Dream, I’m interviewing some of the authors featured in the anthology. Today’s interview is with Jess R. Sutton! Tell us a little bit about your story, “Rosemary for Remembrance.” “Rosemary for Remembrance” is the story of Mel, a teenage girl mourning the unexpected death of her mother. Like any 16-year-old, she doesn’t know how to grieve yet, and her attempts to navigate the…

PERCHANCE TO DREAM: Cover reveal and story synopses!
Perchance to Dream, aka “that anthology Lyssa won’t shut up about,” has been a real labor of love for me.

Just a quick update
I know it’s been a while since I last posted—things have been very busy in Lyssa Land! I just finished the first round of edits for the Perchance to Dream anthology, and I have to say, the collection is looking pretty darn good!
