Get to know S. R. Tombran:

When and what and where did you first get published?

I've had poetry sales in the past and a small press fantasy book published by Dragon Moon Press. "Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot" is my first short story sale, to NewMyths.com

Why do you write?

I write to answer the questions that tug at me and to wrestle with themes and topics that feel important to me in the moment. How that plays out is individualized and open to interpretation.

What are you trying to say with your fiction?

I try not to have an agenda with my stories. I try to explore the things that pull me to pieces and make me weep, laugh, or shudder.
