My short story “The Love Cuff” was published on The Keepthings!

I challenged myself to submit a short story for publication, and my short story about my paternal grandfather was accepted and published today on The Keepthings online literacy magazine!! 🎊

The editor, Deborah Way, is a former Editor of #OMagazine, and was a joy to work with!

You can click the link below to read it on #The keepthings Substack and  Instagram page in its entirety.😍


I would really love it if you would take a moment to read, like, comment subscribe and shar, and support my work.

I’m really proud of this work and I think my grandfather would be too.


Thank you! ~ Toni
