I would like to thank S.A. McKenzie for her short story submission “Happy Birthday”, a touching true story based on the events of the week when her mother passed away.
S.A. McKenzie lives at the bottom of the world on one of the better-looking islands of New Zealand, in the earthquake-ravaged ruins of the city of Christchurch. After surviving more than 12,000 aftershocks she has become adept at estimating the exact magnitude of any quake based on the amount of coffee spilled. She mostly writes offbeat and blackly humorous science fiction and fantasy stories featuring time travelling rabbits, carnivorous unicorns and man-eating subway trains. While she was once a stepmother, she is currently childless and between cats. Find her online at www.hedgehogcircus.com
