H. E. Casson (they/them), whose name rhymes with “class-in”, is a Toronto area writer who also works in art studio operations. They are old enough to remember at least two eras in which everyone wore plaid. They’ve been writing since their kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Crouch, taught them how to string together words – but have shifted in the last year to submitting and sharing more of their work. What’s out there can be found at hecasson.com. They were happy to see a recent slipstream story, “The Tywndarids,” published in a short story collection, The Twofer Compendium, available on Amazon, and a near future, non-binary love story, “Seeking Same,” published at apparitionlit.com.
