review
Scored myself a neat review over at
"By far the highlight for me in this year’s CSFG anthology Masques is "Seventeen" by Cat Sparks. This heartbreaking story follows Sheree as she tries to find a loophole out of the rules of turning seventeen and being fired from the paying gig of acting as Grandma C’s grandchild, getting fed and showered once a month and finding some small respite from life on the streets.
Sparks takes you on this journey, breaking your heart piece by piece."
Considering how hard that story was to sell, I’m thinking a bit of a yippee is in order.

So will it be a yip, or a pee? Nah, that deserves more than a bit of a yippee. I’ll go the full ‘Yippee!’.
