Laura Stamps Fiction

Great news!! I'm happy to announce Impspire will be publishing my next novella, ADDICTED TO DOG MAGAZINES. The launch date is set for May 14, 2023. Very exciting!! Okay. So what's this one about?  Darlene is addicted to dog magazines, even though she's never had a dog and has no plans to adopted one. Oh, and did I mention she has an imaginary dog, Max?  Yeah, Darlene is quite a character. lol!! Many thanks to Impspire's amazing editor, Steve Cawte, for giving this sweet, empowering, wacky novella such a great home!!  

What a fabulous Thanksgiving Day surprise! My prose poem NO REGRETS just went live in the awesome literary magazine Cacti Fur. Many thanks to its very kind editor for giving this crazy little poem such a great home!  LAURA STAMPS – NO REGRETS | Cacti Fur

What a wonderful surprise! My prose poem NIGHT SKY just went live in the lovely Indian Periodical. Get ready! This is another one of my wacky poems.  Do you need a smile today? If so this one is just for you. Enjoy!! Night Sky – Indian Periodical

All I can say is WOW!!! Three of my prose poems just went live in the awesome literary magazine Medusa's Kitchen:  POSTCARDS TO HERSELF, TO ELAINE (WITH LOVE) and SEEDS.  I can never say enough good things about the editor, Kathy Kieth. She's such a blessing to poets and the small press community. But she really went above and beyond today. The illustrations she chose for these three poems are outstanding!  And if that wasn't enough, she added a quote at the end by Thich Nhat Hanh. Just perfect!! Totally wowed me when I saw it this afternoon. You'll see what I mean.  Enjoy these poems and happy reading!! Medusa's Kitchen: Watering Those Seeds (medusaskitchen.blogspot.com)
