If you're a fan of the late (great) English novelist Barbara Pym — or even if you're not (yet) — check out Heather's short story "Jelly Selves," winner of the 2021 Ellen J. Miller short story prize, sponsored by the Barbara Pym Society. The story draws inspiration from Pym's novel A Glass of Blessings (also well worth a read!).
